Frustrating

That was how my day went.

Frustration Factor: Interconnection to the Smart Mobile Eye

I was excited to try out this little device. Before breakfast, I activated the SIM that came with the device. All I need is another phone and a Smart card that can make the video call. Or so I thought....

The Smart Wireless Center didn't have any prepaid phone kits available. I opted to get a prepaid SIM and top up card instead. Apparently, they do not have the top up card in the denomination I want. I waited nearly an hour for nothing. Aaarrrgghh!

The Mobile Eye unit is fully charged. Both SIM cards are active and loaded with credits. 3G signal strength is sufficient. I switched SIMs just to check if they're both active and working. I still can't make a successful test call. Arrggh!


Frustration Factor: The Hyperactive Toddler

Vic decided to WFH (work-from-home) today. This seemed to excite the little boy. I think he missed playing with his dad, who was almost always asleep. Vic has been trying to catch up on sleep he missed when he was vacationing in SNG.

Johann jumped on the bed at every chance he got. He kept using the latest addition to his vocabulary, "Ayaw." It didn't help that he knows when to cry to get want he wants. I think the Terrible Twos stage is setting in early.

After several bumps in the head, numerous reprimands and a couple of bottles of milk, Vic finally got him to sleep at 11:30 PM.


Frustration Factor: The Nanny

I may have held on to Johann's yaya for too long. She is becoming a major pain in the neck. Besides forgetting my reminders, she's becoming too lazy and stubborn. I am getting tired of seeing her unsmiling face everyday. I also figured that she is starting to lose patience with my toddler. This is the reason why I wanted the Mobile Eye activated ASAP!

Just this evening, she put Johann to sleep immediately after feeding and bathing him. She gave him his bottle even if he hasn't fully digested his meal. We ended up drenched in puke.

She was tasked to clean him up. She did so without washing him with soap! Juskoduday, talk about shortcuts. She must be in a hurry to watch her telenovela.



I hope to God that tomorrow will be better. It is not so easy to hold on to your patience if your hormones are making you feel achy all-over.

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...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products.  I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory.  I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this.  It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction.  It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day.  Available at Sephora stores. 2.  Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co -  If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product.  It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application.  The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube.  More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications.  Also available at Sephora stores.  ...

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.
