Javi at 3 weeks


This is Javi, the latest addition to our small family. At this stage, we are still getting to know each other. He is quite familiar with my voice and Kuya Johann's screams. We are quite familiar with the sound of his cries and the scent of his f@rt =P

Like most newborns, he still sleeps most of the day. He just chooses to wake up when every one is fast asleep or is about to sleep. He is quite colicky. As you can see, he has grown a second chin. He likes to carried and swayed to sleep.

Though Johann was just like Javi a year ago, I feel like I'd have to adjust to being a mom again. I still haven't mastered soothing him whenever he is in his crying fits. I'd have to get used to sleepless nights once again. I am back to my wash-and-wear hair-do. I'd have to double-check if I am dripping every once in a while.

I am amazed that, at this time, he already rolled over from lying on his tummy to his back. He has also smiled at me several times. Javi is already exhibiting milestones for older babies. He is quite alert for his age.

They say that Javi looks more like his dad. Though I do not see Vic, I know for sure that he doesn't resemble me.

In a week's time, we are having him baptized. We will be presenting him to his Maker and to the rest of the clan. More pictures to come....

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 tu...

Peacher Grapes

Last weekend, we were invited to PAREF Rosefield's Open House. We've been meaning to formalize our intent to enroll Johann there. It was a great opportunity for us to know more about how the school is run and how it differs from other schools. The Orientation affirmed what we believe, that the parents are the primary educators. They also share the same values that we'd like to foster in our kids. Their method of instruction is not too limitting . It seems to have the right mix of structured and unstructured instruction. We were also informed that the kids got into the big schools of their choice. That speaks well of their effectiveness as a school. I also like the fact that they give formation and skills classes to yayas while they're waiting for their alagas to finish class. -------------------- We brought Johann with us so he'd be more familiar with the faces and the school grounds. There was one kid who wanted to drag him to the play area. She was ...
