One of the things I associate with my own dad is the Chow Fan. His mix is never the same, but it always tasted great. He never really plans to make it, nor jdoes he buy any ingredients for one. It just appears one day, and when I grew up a little, I learned why.

Grocery shopping for the family often involves a lot of planning, and with the fickle nature both moms and kids, these plans almost never really come to fruition. Often times, you buy ingredients for a dish that eventually never gets made, simply because no one happens to be in the mood for it.

There are also times when you cook a really big serving of a dish, like adobo, or shanghai, and unfortunately, you end up with a bunch of leftovers. Not enough for the whole family to eat, but just enough for a solo meal. Maybe you'll eat it later, maybe you won't.

Sometimes, you end up buying too much of an ingredient, and end up with a small amount left in the fridge. Too small to be used for a family meal, but too lazy to make a meal just for yourself. (You almost completely forget how to cook just for yourself when you get married or become a parent). So it get's left in the fridge, patiently waiting.

These situations have happened my dad and in my own family as well. You get a lot of ingredients that are just sitting there. A couple of hotdogs, a few pieces of leftover chicken, some ground beef that is too small for a full serving, and some leftover veggies and shanghai fillings. In cases like this, my dad takes all of them, and works his magic: and so another impromptu Chow Fan is born.

In honor of my dad, who happens to be celebrating his birthday today, I also ended up making a delicious chow fan with some leftover butter, ground beef, chicken adobo, shanghai fillings, 1/8 of a cabbage, 2 eggs, and a single carrot. Voila! Here's my daddy inspired chow fan.



For the dads out there, if you notice a lot of ingredients in the fridge that are just sitting there, possibly doomed to rot, maybe it's time to put on the chef's hat and surprise your family with a huge helping of chow fan. Maybe your kids will remember you for it too, never making the same chow fan twice. I know I did, and I hope to pass this on to my kids one day!

As promised, here's my review for the Infant/Baby Wear, which I bought from WholesaleOnlineDepot last 8/2/17 via Shopee PH App:

1. The material used is ideal for Summer. Medyo manipis sya pero OK na OK suotin ni baby pag tanghali dahil breathable yung tela.

2. Hindi tulad ng shorts, sando, and pajamas, makapal ang tela ng booties, mittens, and bonnets para masecure na di magkakaron ng kalmot si baby at hindi mapapasukan ng lamig.

3. As mentioned ng seller, medyo maliit nga ang small size for newborn kaya kung feel mo na medyo malaki ang baby mo, I might suggest get medium size para sure na magagamit nya.

4. Maganda naman yung quality ng tela, tahi, at ng garter. Malamig sa mata ung colors.

5. Seller was very approachable and was able to respond immediately. Naging transparent si seller about the quality ng paninda nya and na inform naman ako na meron din syang binibentang infant and baby wear na mas maganda ang kalidad.

Thank you din pala sa Freebie!! :)



Base on the price I paid for (551.00 pesos for 12 pajamas, 6 shirts, 6 shorts, 3 mittens, 3 bonnets, 3 binders, 3 booties), these items are great!

Remember, mabilis lumaki ang mga babies and kung wala naman na planong mag-anak pa uli or wala naman ibang pamamanahan, at higit sa lahat, kung ikaw ay nagba budget na nanay at walang oras makihalukay sa Divisoria, pwedeng pwede na kay baby ang mga ito.

Hindi na kinakailangan ni baby ng mamahaling pang araw-araw o pambahay, ang mas importante, makapagsuot sya ng malinis na damit at naaayon sa panahon.

Knowing that you're going to be a mom or a dad can really be overwhelming. You get excited to see your baby's movements, hear his/her heartbeat, and check his/her gender. The next thing you'll probably be doing is buying baby stuff like crib, strollers, and the likes. Like any other commodities, prices may vary based on qualities and brands.

Canvassing can really be of help. But, it is also wise to first check whether you need to buy a particular item or not. In this case, we would like to leave you something to think about:


Do you need to buy feeding bottles or are you going to breastfeed your baby? Today, buying baby bottles is no longer as easy as buying candies. You need to check if they are BPA Free and sturdy. Sizes and nipple types are also need to be considered. However, if you decided to breastfeed the baby, you need to assess yourself and see if you can effectively express milk without using pumps. If not, then there's another decision to make, manual or electric pump? Better make yourself familiar with their functions and weigh the advantages and disadvantages.



Next, are you going to use washable cloth diapers or do you need to start stocking disposable diapers?

Also, will the baby sleep beside you or in the crib? do you think pillows or bolsters set can be beneficial for your little one? Or perhaps a co-sleeper? What are the pros and cons?

I saw this picture posted online and I'm hoping this will help you decide:




We're not against buying baby stuff here, let me clear that one out, we just want every parent to be more "wais", especially those inexperienced ones.

Let us know your thoughts! :)
