Slowing Down

Though Vic was on vacation last week, it seems that we never had time to actually wind down. I guess too many people often lead to too many unexpected events. I can not begin to explain the drama we went through this past weekend. Let's just say that we went from ER to another.

Thankfully, my parents are around to watch over Johann for a few hours. Again, we were physically exhausted tending to other stuff that we missed Johann's Gymbabes class for the third time.

Our balikbayan guests are also starting to go back. Five flew back yesterday. One is scheduled to leave today. Three of them will leave tomorrow. The rest will be around till September. I am kinda glad that they are here when all these happened. They were Dad's support system in one of his most difficult times. I am kinda sorry for them too. Their vacation didn't turn out too be much of a break.

Today will be the first time in a few days that we can finally do errands of our own. About time too. We are running out of formula and diapers.

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...

Gratitude Calendar 2024

 I stumbled upon a "challenge" that I thought would be fun and something I can actually do.  I think this will help change my mindset and prepare me for the coming holidays.  Here goes....
