What the future holds

Now that all the stuff that kept me occupied in the last few months has passed, I find more time in my hands. I am now more focused on finding a source of stable income that would complement what we currently have. I would like to start on it as soon as Baby#2 would allow me.

One thing I know for sure is that I can not be confined in an 8-to-5 job. It will also have to be a food business. Cooking and Baking are two things that I love doing. I even have the invested on the disposable supplies and quality equipment needed. I have the packaging ready. I know which suppliers to tap for raw materials and restaurant equipment, thanks to the numerous Food Expos and cooking/baking workshops.

At present, these are the stumbling blocks to my finalizing my decision:

location - I have limited my choices to Katipunan, Marikina, QC and Pasig. Should I just make a home-based business out of it?
man-power
target market
product line - Should I stick to dessert items? Should I include pasta, salads and sandwiches?
my current condition - With my growing belly, I am not as mobile as I want to be. I can not do the leg work needed for exploring my options

It is taking me too long to decide. Maybe, the cooking demo I'll be attending this afternoon would speed up the process.

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 ...
