We're Back!

It has been ten days since we moved back into our own home. The last week leading to our moving back was toxic due to the amount of clean-up and prep work for the blessing / house-warming party. I'd like to post pictures of the house but I'm currently having problems with the new iPhoto.

Thank God for our magical vacuum that did most of the work. They were still installing the narra planks for our stairs on the day before the blessing. It was dusty all over and it smelled of varnish. It was spic-and-span on the day of the gathering.

The night of the blesssing, we were still cleaning up our bedroom till midnight. We couldn't sleep. Vic kept sneezing. The boys had mosquito bites.

Though there are still rooms to be cleaned up and other minor repairs to be done, we're glad to be back home.

It is so good to...
... wake up seeing the trees lining our street.
... have wi-fi that actually reaches our room.
... have enough space to walk around without bumping into a bed post.
... not scramble for parking space.
... have a say on what is to be prepared for our meals.
... have a say on how to run the household.

On the other hand, I actually miss...
... hot water straight from the faucet. Installing a heater is going to dramatically increase our Meralco bill.
... proximity to the malls.

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...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products.  I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory.  I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this.  It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction.  It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day.  Available at Sephora stores. 2.  Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co -  If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product.  It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application.  The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube.  More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications.  Also available at Sephora stores.  ...

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.
