Al and George despite the Bad weather

My mother was rushing me last night. She was afraid that Vic's new toy may be submerged in the flood and that I may not be able to get out. Since it is an A/T car, that would be a very big problem. The car isn't even a month old yet.

Our next concern was how to get inside the car. The water was already up to my knees. Only a few more inches and the flood would be able to flow inside when I open the car door. I finally managed to get in and start the car. It was still working. Thank God. With my father paving the way for me in his bigger vehicle, I was able to get out of the deep flood with no problems.

The only problem now is that the new set clothes I changed into were soaked. Even if I was carrying my Gucci, I couldn't watch the concert looking/feeling like a drowned rat. I had to rush to the mall to get new set of clothes so I wouldn't be chilly the rest of the night. Thank God for Havin A Baby. Their sale items were nice enough.

I braved the heavy rain and flood last night just to go to the Giving it Up concert by Al Jarreau and George Benson. Despite the poor weather conditions, I was surprised to see The Big Dome filled up. The crowd enjoyed Al's creativity and George's guitar playing skills. I thought I knew a number of their songs to be able to sing along. Apparently, they had more up their sleeves. The crowd livened up when "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love for You, Summer Breeze, Greatest Love of All, were played. Vic was waiting for "Spain." They either played it earlier or they weren't planning on doing it. Someone at the back was shouting for "After All."

Hala! Our taste in music is getting old also.

Seen in the crowd were Tessa Valdez (who cheered at every beginning and end of George's songs), VP Noli de Castro (who sat at the center aisle), Arnel Ignacio (who went around the Big Dome as if he's taping his show), Richard Merk, Bituin Escalante, Kat and Fernando Zobel (who was still very prim and proper).

Chuvaness just confirmed that she saw Adel Tamano. Gosh, I knew it was him but I wasn't sure.

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 ...
