Uneventful

Despite the fact that I turned thirty, that is how I'd describe my birthday. Not that we didn't make an effort. It was all because of this darn flu.

I woke up a bit better, still dizzy and weak. At least, the fever had gone. By noon, I was well-enough to go out for lunch. I didn't enjoy it much. My throat was sore, I had a hard time swallowing. I would have loved to go around and shop (w/o guilt), but I was starting to get tired. We just made a few stops to get some necessities. Then we left my "office."

That evening, we could've gone out to get something special for dinner but Vic had meetings scheduled till 8PM. I ended up cooking our dinner, in between watching over Johann and Javi. I didn't have the energy to concoct anything special.

All the activity that day drained every ounce of energy left in me. I went back to bed with a fever.

-----------------

One of the greatest gifts I received was the newest addition to my household staff. (Staff daw o).

The one that replaced Johann's yaya had to go back home because her husband was hospitalized and was in critical condition. I didn't want to delay her till the end of the month because I want her to be with her family when they need her.

The one I got yesterday, c/o my parents, is a quite old. She can't help with Johann, but she definitely fill in the need for the general house chores (laundry, daily upkeep, ironing, cooking, dishwashing and the like). I was quite grateful for her arrival because we really needed her then. I haven't fully recovered from my flu. She arrived just in time to clean up my mess in the kitchen.

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.  

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...
