Through the suggestion of an online friend, Jennie who is a mother of a 3 year old son, I came to have the idea of changing my child’s milk. It started with the thought of cutting down on some expenses, and I just thought her milk is just too expensive, and it doesn’t even make her fat. My child is now 1 and a half years old, and she has been taking Enfagrow milk which is really expensive. I asked Jennie and she said her son is taking Nido. I agreed with her, that its not the milk that will make a child intelligent or smart, but it should be the food he eats (proper nutrition) along with the training you give to the child. The genes also plays a major role. Most milk brands keep telling us, that their milk can make your child intelligent and all those promises, but they don’t deliver. I have seen children who have taken the most expensive of these milk brands, but growed up to be normal people, not really the intelligent type.

Now, my child is taking Nido Junior 1-3 years old. The switching process was delicate, and so far I haven’t seen any symptom from her. Everything went fine. Due to the switch, we are able to save up about 500-600 pesos a month. Imagine that, that could already pay for another house expenses. It was just one of the best ideas.

If you are here in Cebu, you are most likely informed about Colon. A place here in the city where you can find all the affordable materials whether its a thing or something to eat. All kinds of fruits which are more affordable yet with the same quality as those found in department stores and shops are here. Pineapple, mangoes, melons, oranges, grapes and all the like. There are lots of ukay-ukay here, and this is where the businessmen who sell ukay ukay from different provinces get their items. They buy in bulk here, and they sell it in their places with increased price. Last time, I went checking on ukay-ukay, I bought a mini skirt for 50 pesos, and it was nice. All materials for your homes are also here. Whether its wholesale liquidators, tables, plastic chairs or stools, furnitures, faucets, floormats, light fixtures, its all here. I cannot mention the vast choices you can make here. All I can say is almost everything is here. And if your diligent, you can buy something here as half the price as those in SM or Ayala Mall.
