Let's Parteh

After weeks of preparation, our party is taking shape.  A couple of weeks ago, we only had a venue (Crowne Plaza), food, post-dinner entertainment (RJ Jacinto), photo/video coverage (Numbawan) and invitations (by QP).  Now, I can add a Master of Ceremonies (an acquaintance from GC), event organizer (Jody L.), dance instructors and stage backdrop to the list.  Thanks to my resources and friends, we were able to book and finalize all those in less than two weeks. 

The only things we haven't worked out are the giveaways and the guest list.   I hope to finalize the giveaways this week.  As for the guest list, we are waiting for the guests to RSVP.  Good luck to us!

The whole Endriga clan pulled out all the stops for this party.  Well, as far as the budget would allow.  Siblings and in-laws of the celebrant are flying in from the States to take part in this event.

This was supposedly a retirement/birthday gift for the FIL from his children. However, since his term got extended, retirement would have to wait.  We hope he'll have a grand time with his friends, family and colleagues.

I, on the other hand, am only hoping for Johann to wear his tuxedo to the party.  At least, until we finish taking pictures.

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 turn in their graves seein

Life Lately

For several months now, my husband and I have been juggling the EV importing business and this ambulatory center we are putting up.  In August, we hosted a grand birthday party for FIL, received balikbayans then sent them off.  The kids started school in August too.  Did I say that their schools are quite far from each other? It has been a busy past few months.  I am not used to waking up early every morning to bring the kids to school then head off to work.  I am starting to feel tired.   It is an adjustment.  At first, I was enjoying being an "empty nester" when all kids are in school.  But now that work is piling up, I miss those quiet times at home.   I am so looking forward to having a vacation soon. I need to recharge.
