Not just yet

This morning I woke up thinking that it is THE time. I've had non-stop dysmenorrhea-like pain in my abdomen. It extended to my lower back. I called up my mother to ask if I should take any meds for the pain. I was told that I may be experiencing labor pains already. Hmmm. That got me nervous, to say the least. Mother, on the other hand, got all excited. She already called in our room reservation.

There are still so many things to be done. I still don't have a second name. Besides, Vic still has cough and the sniffles. Johann has the same.

My mother dropped by to examine her patient. Verdict: Baby #2 is not yet ready to come out. The pain has stopped and there was no bloody-show. The cervix is still sealed shut.

At least, the contractions have started. We may still have a few days. My other OB suspects that I may give birth on Nov 1.

Good news: I called up the hospital this afternoon. The Lamaze room may be used. The patient will just have to sign a waiver that the noise due to the construction is okay. I think I can live with that. I really do not want to go in labor alone.

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...
