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.

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 tu...

Peacher Grapes

Last weekend, we were invited to PAREF Rosefield's Open House. We've been meaning to formalize our intent to enroll Johann there. It was a great opportunity for us to know more about how the school is run and how it differs from other schools. The Orientation affirmed what we believe, that the parents are the primary educators. They also share the same values that we'd like to foster in our kids. Their method of instruction is not too limitting . It seems to have the right mix of structured and unstructured instruction. We were also informed that the kids got into the big schools of their choice. That speaks well of their effectiveness as a school. I also like the fact that they give formation and skills classes to yayas while they're waiting for their alagas to finish class. -------------------- We brought Johann with us so he'd be more familiar with the faces and the school grounds. There was one kid who wanted to drag him to the play area. She was ...
