An Afternoon With Lea & a Politician's Wife

Yesterday afternoon was supposedly a day at the salon with Lesley. However, she got delayed by some maintenance work in her condo. I went on without her and kept myself company with the latest issue of Metro Magazine.

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

I was delighted to see Lea on the cover. If I had one favorite singer, it is Lea. You see, I grew up listening to the Miss Saigon soundtrack. She is one Filipina who's got the beauty, the intelligence and the talent. How I wish she became part of the Glee Club. Our paths would have crossed, not that our batches would have overlapped. Here are some photos of her from the magazine.



I just love this long-sleeved gown.




I also love how the fabric drapes around her body. I hope to pull off something like this someday. In my dreams talaga.



Motherhood really becomes her.

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

After spending some time with Lea, I felt that I needed a bathroom break. As I was approaching the door to the loo, I felt someone's eyes are on me. I looked at her and she still stared. Oh, it's Julie. Siya pala yun madaming security na kasama na di magkasya sa parking lot.

We went to the same high school. She was just a couple of years ahead of me. I heard that she married this young congressman at 18. She was so young that she didn't even finish college.

She's still very pretty despite all the politics and stress she's exposed to.

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 turn in their graves seein

Life Lately

For several months now, my husband and I have been juggling the EV importing business and this ambulatory center we are putting up.  In August, we hosted a grand birthday party for FIL, received balikbayans then sent them off.  The kids started school in August too.  Did I say that their schools are quite far from each other? It has been a busy past few months.  I am not used to waking up early every morning to bring the kids to school then head off to work.  I am starting to feel tired.   It is an adjustment.  At first, I was enjoying being an "empty nester" when all kids are in school.  But now that work is piling up, I miss those quiet times at home.   I am so looking forward to having a vacation soon. I need to recharge.
