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.

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 tu...

Peacher Grapes

Last weekend, we were invited to PAREF Rosefield's Open House. We've been meaning to formalize our intent to enroll Johann there. It was a great opportunity for us to know more about how the school is run and how it differs from other schools. The Orientation affirmed what we believe, that the parents are the primary educators. They also share the same values that we'd like to foster in our kids. Their method of instruction is not too limitting . It seems to have the right mix of structured and unstructured instruction. We were also informed that the kids got into the big schools of their choice. That speaks well of their effectiveness as a school. I also like the fact that they give formation and skills classes to yayas while they're waiting for their alagas to finish class. -------------------- We brought Johann with us so he'd be more familiar with the faces and the school grounds. There was one kid who wanted to drag him to the play area. She was ...
