Roadtesting

We woke up early last Saturday because we had a lunch reservation at Antonio's. The first order of the day is to drop off the kids in Kapitolyo then a quick change of cars.

Vic wanted to test the strength of his dad's new toy. It is a old car but it still garners a lot of attention from other motorists. The color is a bit unusual. Hay naku, if only they knew.

The car looks pretty. But, it is in need of a lot of repairs. The previous owner failed to give it love and attention. I was afraid that we wouldn't make it to Tagaytay because of the temp warning. It may have been not used to the exercise it was given that day. It still accelerates like a powerful European car. But being used to the bulkier vehicles with better suspension, I was afraid that the car would give out.

We got to our destination and back with no problems...just sore bodies from the seats and poor suspension.

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...
