Wonderful Wednesday

My long day started with a leisurely walk in Greenbelt with Lesley. She previously wanted to check out bags. But, we ended up looking at everything. The bags were nice but the ones I like wont be available till next week.

I finally got the courage to try on the a pair of brown and blue/pink loafers I've been eying online since a year ago. It is on sale at the Greenbelt outlet. It was a 5000-peso drop from the original price. Thank God, they don't have a bigger pair. I would have ended up paying for it at zero interest for three months. Tod's is my ultimate travel shoe. I hope to own a pair someday. Hopefully, before my next major vacation. Hint! Hint! LOL!

After hours of looking around, we still have nothing new in our hands. We are so pathetic!

We capped off our window shopping with a meal at the Travel Cafe. The concept of the resto is unique. But, the food was nothing to brag about. Les and I split up an order of vegetable spring rolls and Batangas Beef ribs. I guess, we would've enjoyed it more if we tried they're other specialties.

Parang nabitin ako. I decided to get some dessert from Classic Confections. I chose Nono's Chocolate Oblivion. It is a confection of chocolate cream sandwiched between layers of chocolate cake, surrounded by candied walnuts. YUM! It was so heavenly. I nearly finished it off all by myself. I just wish I can whip up something like that straight from my kitchen. Buti na lang, they have an outlet in Kapitolyo. Yipee!

The most important part of the day was our Sectional rehearsal at Tria's. We have a recording session coming up this Saturday so we really needed that extra session. Special thanks to our host for providing such a sumptuous feast. I will see if I can make my own version of the adobo flakes bruschetta.

Though I was distracted by some domestic matters, I managed to enjoy my day.

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.  

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 tu...
