Home Improvement

It has been three years since we've moved into our home. In that short time, one can already see signs of wear and tear. It has become more obvious now that there are new houses sprouting in our street.

We are fortunate to have been given the lot behind our current home. This will give us room that we need. We do not really need that much space. It's just that we failed to consider a lot of things during the construction of our current home. We have acquired more belongings as our family grows.

With that added lot, I can see an area that would accommodate additional househelp. The expansion will also give room to a lanai, more storage space and a play area for the kids. It would be a great time to have the house repainted, the garden re-designed and have a new gate installed.

Looks like we have to brace ourselves for a major construction. All we need now is an architect who can help us integrate the new wing to our current house design and a working budget.

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...
