Singapore and the F1 Grand Prix

One of the trips that I'll be missing out on, now that I am 7 months preggy, is the one with Singapore F1. This is the second trip I'll be skipping for this year.

I am really not that big of a fan of Formula 1 racing. The Sepang race three years ago would do. I just wanted to see Singapore since I've never gone there before. To make up for my loss (or missed opportunity to shop), I am making a list of things to do for Vic. This task is actually more punishing because I keep on reading up on places I wont get to see in person. Hay....

Here is my short-list:
  • Try the duck tours or HiPPO tours (ducktours.com.sg)
  • Songs of the Sea show at the Sentosa Merlion
  • Night Safari
  • Singapore Zoo
  • Try the Chili/Black Pepper Crab at Jumbo in Clark Quay
  • Eat at the Kopi Tiam or Food Republic
  • Get Royce chocolates at Suntec (for me)
  • Get F1 merchandise for Johann and for himself
  • Shop at Sim Lim, Vivo or Lucky for cams (for Vic) and other pasalubongs
  • Ikea for some items for the home
  • Meet up with Mike and Boboy
My list seems too short for a week's stay. This is actually his second trip to Singapore. Since he is not much of a shopper or an art aficionado, I am not sure what else he can do or what he'll enjoy doing.

-----------------------

I am not hoping to receive (nor am I requesting for) any grand pasalubong from this trip. I have gotten a pretty awesome gift last weekend. Anyway, he is pretty thoughtful when it comes to getting stuff for us when he is away on trips. I trust your judgment, hun. =)

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 ...
