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!"

Gratitude Calendar 11/5

  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...
