Mahirap Magtimpi

For quite some time, I had difficulty looking for Javi's milk. With the help of my mother's secretary, I was able to get hold of a person who directed me to the distributor. Now, I can purchase various baby formula at a really low price. I took advantage of the opportunity and offered to sell the formula to other moms.

Last week, this girl, who ordered twice from me already, asked if she could still order for her nephew. I said yes. I planned on offering the low-priced formula to the other moms in my network. Sa sobrang dami naman kasi ng ginagawa ko these days, nakalimutan ko nang mang-imbita ng ibang oorder.

This morning I reminded her to deposit the payment. She's sick daw and couldn't go to the bank to make the deposit. I guess, di niya mapakisabihan yun magulang nun pamangkin niya. She'd bring the money when she picks up the box on Saturday. I said okay since her purchase record is okay.

I am getting the feeling that she thinks she's doing me a favor. Hmmm.

Then I also asked her if she had an idea what time she'll be able to pick up the box. Ang sagot ba naman sa kin eh, "Is Saturday morning fine ... because I couldn't afford to go back for it like the last time when...."

Eh, ako ba may oras? Lilipad na ko patungong Taipei sa araw na yon, not to mention the house-blessing in the morning.

She HAD to bring up that one incident that I profusely apologized for. She arrived at the pick-up point before the driver dropped it off.

Ayokong mapikon.

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...
