Ganun ba Talaga Kahirap?

For months now, I've been looking for a bottle cleaning detergent for my kids' feeding bottles. I have actually several options.

Pigeon - This is the first brand I've tried. However, I find the Pigeon brand too expensive, P450 per liter. When we only had Johann, it was quite easy to dish out money for this since this could last for months. Considering that we sterilize our milk bottles twice, daily. It'll be another unnecessary, not to mention expensive, expense.

Mess Out - This is a local brand I heard from the other new moms. One bottle used to cost less than P90. The quality is quite okay. It lasts longer than Pigeon because it more sudsy. However, the distribution of this product is quite poor. I used to find this in Rustan's Supermarket and Landmark. Whenever I see this, I'd hoard bottles. But, this has been missing in the shelves for weeks. I hope this gets replenished soon. I have yet to see if Babyland has stocks.

From the makers of Cycles, they came out with their own version. The name of the product just slipped my mind. I bought one just to give it a try. It was reasonably priced also. It seems that it is not as sudsy as Mess Out. It didn't last long. When I came back to get more, it was no longer in the shelves.

Just last week, I had to purchase the more expensive Pigeon detergent. It was only out of desperation, since all three can not be found. What happened to Manila? Was there an unexpected baby boom?

So now, I am looking for alternatives. I found a very delicate Ivory dish washing liquid. If I still don't find anything suitable for baby bottles, I just might get Ivory.

Am I just being too "maselan?"

Hay naku! Kaya nga ordinary cleaning liquid na lang binili ko. Mag-sterilize pa naman after nun eh.

Excited

That is how I felt when I got up from bed this morning. There are just so many things to do and to look forward to this week. I'd have to... ... get hold of CCP to discuss a possible tie-up for the next Three Festival. I may need to get some contacts from Tito Bal. ... get the space application form from Ayala Malls. ... visit the furniture fair at SMX this weekend. ... get a new copy of our marriage certificate for Vic's Visa renewal. ... obtain franchise terms from my top two food chains. ... interview the new househelp prospect. ...see if we can finally sell our SUV to make room for a bigger one. I hope I can get started soon. I hope Javi's yaya gets well right away so I can slip and get some of these done.

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...

Peacher Grapes

Last weekend, we were invited to PAREF Rosefield's Open House. We've been meaning to formalize our intent to enroll Johann there. It was a great opportunity for us to know more about how the school is run and how it differs from other schools. The Orientation affirmed what we believe, that the parents are the primary educators. They also share the same values that we'd like to foster in our kids. Their method of instruction is not too limitting . It seems to have the right mix of structured and unstructured instruction. We were also informed that the kids got into the big schools of their choice. That speaks well of their effectiveness as a school. I also like the fact that they give formation and skills classes to yayas while they're waiting for their alagas to finish class. -------------------- We brought Johann with us so he'd be more familiar with the faces and the school grounds. There was one kid who wanted to drag him to the play area. She was ...
