A day that was

It has been a long time since the family went out without any yayas in tow. Today, we accomplished just that. I did my bank errands while Vic and Johann stayed in the car. Johann was content with steering the wheel and the occasional honking. Surprisingly, today's short outing wasn't that difficult. He behaved when we're inside the car. There were the usual tantrums but, nothing that Vic and I can't handle.

I've forgotten how it felt to be by ourselves, with no other person to be responsible for except for my family. In the beginning, I found that lugging a nanny can be so intrusive. I would have to be on my guard in everything I do or say. On the other hand, it can be very convenient specially when the parent's patience is about to run out.

I hope we have more days like this. However, with the little kid being too fussy and active, and with the mommy too sore and slow, days like today will not come by more often. Well, at least not for another year.

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...
