Thank God for the weekend

After an uneventful Thursday, the succeeding days were jammed with places to visit and things to do.

Mall-wide Sale at Megamall


I was looking forward to this sale since I really wanted to jump start my Christmas Shopping. It may be not worth going if you are not going to buy a lot. Most items are marked at 10% below its original price. Very few are at 20%, 30% or even 50% off the original price. It took me two hours to finish the home section because of the crowd. The other floors were less crowded. I haven't even gone to the mall part.

Raves:
I was very thankful for the valet service. I didn't have to tire myself out and lose my patience over a parking space.

The mall employed extra attendants to help people like me carry big items to the package counter or to the car.

There were stools for people waiting in line at the cashier. It makes the wait more tolerable.

Best purchase of the day was the Igloo ice chest at 50% off. It came with a smaller ice chest and a small water jug. Everything for less than 2K.


Rants:
People who are so impatient about lining up at the cashier. The mall is on sale. Every one had to line up and wait patiently. Stop complaining.

People who bring infants to the mall on sale-days. Both parent and child will not enjoy the experience. It is so crowded and noisy. The child may end up feeling claustrophobic. Besides, they won't have room to maneuver the child strollers.


All in all, it turned out to be a good day at the mall. I got gifts for most of the people on my list. Most importantly, I stayed within budget. It helped that there are lots of items below my P300 mark.

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 turn in their graves seein

Life Lately

For several months now, my husband and I have been juggling the EV importing business and this ambulatory center we are putting up.  In August, we hosted a grand birthday party for FIL, received balikbayans then sent them off.  The kids started school in August too.  Did I say that their schools are quite far from each other? It has been a busy past few months.  I am not used to waking up early every morning to bring the kids to school then head off to work.  I am starting to feel tired.   It is an adjustment.  At first, I was enjoying being an "empty nester" when all kids are in school.  But now that work is piling up, I miss those quiet times at home.   I am so looking forward to having a vacation soon. I need to recharge.
