New Discovery : Simba Mother's Touch Bottle Nipple

True that when you became a mother, your search for best quality and sulit products will never end.

We all know that most of the times, if you want the best, you have to pay more. So since D is a breastfeed baby, I hunt for the bottle nipple that feels like that of the mother to avoid confusions. And you will agree to me that these products costs for P500+++. Oh well, we would still get that for our little one. And I have nothing against these products, they have the right to be pricey anyway. 

But just recently, I discoved an alternative to D's bottle nipples. 

Only for P99 each pesosesoses!!!

                             D's old nipple.                                   Simba nipple. 

They are almost the same, the texture and the anti colic mechanism. 

 And D's verdict?! Haha hindi niya namalayan nagpalit kami, except that the hole is smaller. 

Fellow bfpinays, go try it!

So let me tell you how reasonable and how I enjoyed my second trip there this year.

Sorry that my pictures do not give justice how sulit my loots are. I took them night time via ipad, becuase I am so excited to post it here. 

Actually, my excuse going there is to get new shorts, daddy R's polo and a gift to D's friend. And I kept on telling myself that my budget will be just P1,000. So what just happened? Haha muntik na ako mawalan ng pamasahe pauwi. I couldn't contain myself from buying good stuffs, but infairness to me, I can now differentiate needs and wants. Lahat ng binili ko, kailangan tlaga! Lol 

Anyway, we work hard the whole year, so we deserve to treat ourselves. Right? 

So enjoy the holidays and the shopping season.

My Eye Glasses from Paterno St. in Quiapo

Since college, I was prescribed to wear eye glasses, but the pasaway in me always get away with wearing one. I had different glasses before, even contact lenses only to wear them not longer than 2 weeks. Hindi talaga kasi ako sanay, and I don't really feel the need to wear one, until last July with frequent migraines and itchy-dry eyes. I really need one. 

So the search for a comfortable, stylish and  yet reasonable priced eye glasses begun. A friend and officemate told me about Paterno street in Quiapo and I quote  her "Sa Quiapo, madami dun, makakapili ka and mura pa!". 

I am working in Manila for more than 6 years now, but I still don't know how to go to Quiapo alone. Hindi ko alam bakit haha so I tried to look at possible ways. 

1. If you are from North or Quezon City, you may take UV express, Jeepneys to Quiapo and alight at Chowking just before the Quiapo Church, and thats the Paterno Street na!

2. You can also take LRT line 1, Paterno street is just walking distance from the Carriedo Station. 

3. If you have friends na alam pumunta Quiapo, pasama ka nalang!

And since I have a very supportive husband, sinamahan nalang ako ni daddy R, who surveyed the street before bringing me there. 

As daddy R said, "Masusuya ka sa dami ng salamin dun!" and the Paterno Street didn't disappoint me. The whole street is lined with different shops with thousands of styles you can choose from. Not the tiangge style that my parents and I envisioned. Nakakatuwa magsukat-sukat, just make sure din to tag-along someone para may kasama ka pumili, because if not, hindi ka na makaka-alis dun lol. 

Frames ranges from as low as P450 to P7,000 depending on the style you will choose. Some offered free lenses with the frames, some as separate and may require additional fee for specialized lenses. Eye examination is also free if you will purchase the glasses with them. As for my case, I had my prescription with me, so I gave it to them and waited 30-45 minutes for my eye glasses to be done.  

Wide selection of eye glasses. Nakakasuya talaga! lol

After shop hopping, I settled with this blue frame worth P800 including the lenses. I just added P200 to make the lenses multi-coated for computer exposures.

Super sulit for me. I got compliments with the glasses, and what I love most is that super comfortable to wear, even in my budget!
