For those who do not want to see this rant, please move on.

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

People think because I've married into a well-off family, I am so lucky, I no longer had to work for a living. It is true that we do get some perks and some assistance if we need it. Yes, we were given a house as a wedding gift. But like most couples, Vic and I had to work for what we have. Vic and I have this investment that earns enough for our monthly needs. Sometimes, it is more than enough. The situation will change once our kids grow up.

Unlike what you believe, we do not live off someone else's generosity. I wonder who gave you that idea?

I know of some parasites. I also know that there are also some people who'd take advantage if they can get away with it. I just can't decide who is worse.

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

Vic went into the corporate setting because he wants to be independent. Had he decided to work in the family business, he'd be burdened with family politics.

I was working before you met me. I worked so hard that we couldn't have a baby before we said goodbye to my MIL. I was compensated well for all my hard work. A way out presented itself. I was pregnant with the "prince" within weeks of submitting my resignation.

It is so unnerving because all the opportunities I've had in my life are now being questioned. I graduated from one of the top universities in the country, if not most expensive. I went to 20 countries around the world because of my own sweat and blood. I can manage a multi-million dollar project the same way I can run my own household, with or without househelp.

Why is my status as a full-time mother being subjected to so much controversy? I will eventually work and earn much more than the person who fed you this crap!

Envy and Insecurity do have their way of showing up. All I can say is "Mamatay ka sa inggit!"

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.
