Success!

My second attempt in turning the bananas into cakes was a big success. Not only did I remember to put sugar, I made use of the best baking butter in the market. I even got bigger chocolate chips. Also, this time, I made use of the better recipe.

The result was 42 moist (not to mention, mouth-watering) cupcakes with bigger chocolate chunks. Half of which I brought to Marikina for our afternoon snack. The rest I brought to rehearsals as a reward for the early birds.

My friends from ACS loved them. Some went for seconds, others for thirds. They were thrilled to find them encased in my own box. A couple asked how much I'd sell them. Others asked what else I can make for them. Career-in ko na daw.

We'll see. I did consider it at one point. Kaya nga may box na ko eh.

In the meantime, there are still bananas in the freezer. Tomorrow is another baking day.

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...
