Can this week get any more hectic?

Warning: This post may bore you. I am composing an online schedule for the week.


We're leaving for Taipei this Saturday. Usually, the week before we leave our families is the most hectic week. Like most moms, I am trying to spend as much time as I can with my kids. It is not so easy to do. It is also the same week that gets swamped with rehearsals, sectionals, errands and other stuff we need to prepare for when we're away. Some people had to do advance work so they won't be too far behind when they get back.

I did what I planned to do today. I failed to do a few items but I think I can catch up tomorrow.

Just this afternoon, I shopped for two weeks' worth of groceries, paid my bills, confirmed my international roaming activation, purchased a memory stick and spent some time with my kids.
When I arrived home, I sorted out the stuff that needs to be brought to Marikina (where my kids will stay when Vic and I are away) and to my luggage. I also had a few minutes to make a kani salad, which I had for dinner.

Tomorrow, I need to go to the bank to deposit checks before I pick up the dress I had made for the wedding in California. In the afternoon, I am scheduled to drop off the kids in Marikina before heading to the 2nd to the last rehearsal in Grand Villas. I expect to find some time to pack for the Taipei trip.

On Wednesday, I volunteered to help with the clean up. My parents' new home is about to be blessed this Saturday morning.

Maybe I'll be able to relax a bit on Thursday since I only have the last rehearsal to go to. Maybe we should do breakfast at Edsa Shang. What say you, Daddy?

On Friday, I need to pack my stuff for a two-week US vacation. We leave two days after our arrival from Taiwan.

I can't wait for the Taiwan trip to be done and over with. The pressure to learn and memorize all fifteen songs (fifteen nga ba?) is too much. Parang competition mode ulit. On second thought, I am looking forward to the night markets. Anubuh! Argh!

Okay, time to sleep.

Yeap - but care of the bride. For her bridesmaids, etc :)

Simple dress lang, with a contact she got from her sister (who will be getting married next year).

Can't wait to see the final outcome of the dress!

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...
