product review: Breastflow is worst feeding bottle ever!

I've just given birth and had to mix feed so I bought some feeding bottles before and after my baby's delivery. I chanced upon Breastflow bottles by The First Years. It really looked unique and amazing. It features a two-piece nipple that is said to replicate mom's breast. So instead of buying a trusted brand like Avent or Chicco, which I used for my first baby, I ended up buying 8 breastflow bottles. In the first few days, it worked wonders. My baby got a hang of it and she was able to mix feed quite well. But after the second week, some of the bottles already leaked. After a month all 8 bottles were leaking so much that half the milk went down the drain. My mom who was baby sitting for me was really frustrated she asked my to just throw away those Breastflow bottles. But I was feeling a bit guilty about having to spend for the bottles that I decided to use them as storage bottles for my expressed milk. Then I discovered that it wasnt even good enough as a storage bottles because it really leaks out even when you close the lid really tight. Hay, that's why I decided not to use them for that purpose again. Now I only use the 8 bottles as cool down bottles because at least they're BPA free. I bought Avent BPA-free bottles instead and I discovered how amazing they really are. My mom also loves them. So take it from me my dear mom friends, never, ever buy Breastflow bottles, unless you want to throw money down the drain.

Retirement in the Philippines: Going against the grain

I started to think about retirement at age 36. I don't know why but it was then that I realized that despite my good prospects for promotion in the near future and my steady stream of income from the investments that we were making, I just knew then that I needed to start my journey to financial stability and security. My son and my youngest was less than a year old then. I computed in my mind that when he reached college at 18 years old, I would be around 55 years old by then. I was unsure what I'd be by then. Would I still be healthy enough to work? Would we have enough savings to make sure that he has money for a decent college to go to? Would he be intelligent enough to make it to UP to enjoy free tuition? It was unsettling. I felt I had to do something. And so I realized that I wasn't even talking about retirement. I was just thinking about Sam's college really. So it was then that I made my big leap to get a VUL. I did not know much about it then bu

What makes a good Financial Advisor?

If you're my age, you've more likely come across an Insurance Agent or Financial Advisor from among the popular insurance companies in the Philippines. Most of them claim to be able to advise you on investment portfolios that you may want to buy or avail for yourself. They would often ask you first about your investment capacity or the amount that you are willing to invest whether monthly or one-time and then move into presenting you a proposal based on that alone. Based on my experience on investments, the best kind of advisors are those that are concerned with the end goal rather than what you'd like to give up from your disposable income. Normally, when you ask people about how much they would like to invest, they would normally just let you know how much extra extra money they have or what they usually have left after a payroll cutoff. If you let people do that, chances are you'd end up getting lose changes as investment funds. There lies the disconnect usual

Investing in real estate in the time of COVID

Investing in real estate (condo and house and lot) in the time of COVID As a real estate researcher, I've read and navigated through a lot of information and data to analyze and provide insights to our company leaders about industry trends. Off work, many of my friends also ask me for advise when it comes to decisions about real estate. To buy or not to buy this property, to sell or not to sell at this price, to rent out long or short term, house and lot or condo , and other related queries about what to do with their money and property. I almost always suggest to keep it simple and logical. If it does not add up and you have an inch of a doubt about it, then don't do it. However, there are also signals that should not be ignored. This is especially true in periods when demand presets supply. The worst case scenario for a buyer/investor is to see a property be sold out just when you've decided to buy it and then see it appreciate exponentiall
