The Highs and Lows of Last Week

Even though I don't have work to keep me on a schedule, I was on-the-go almost everyday of last week. There were lots of commitments concerning the THREE Festival and the joint celebration of last Saturday. Here are the highlights of the week:

Johann's school party. We were supposed to celebrate with his classmates on the day before his birthday. However, he got sick. So, I cancelled my arrangements and moved the celebration to the following school day. Last Monday, I brought homemade cupcakes (Martha Stewart's choco chip cupcake with chocolate ganache) and pancakes for the class' recess. I failed to document the simple celebration because I forgot to bring a camera with me. Apparently, there was one waiting for me in the backseat. Darn!

Gram's Diner. I tried it and I wasn't disappointed. The whopper malt and the philly cheese steak were very good. I think I'll try it out with Vic next time we're in the area.

Parallel parking. I rarely parallel park. I usually look for a space that would allow me to park the usual way. This time I did it in one try. Napapalakpak ako sa dali.

CCP. The ACS officially signed an agreement with CCP for the use of the Main Theater for the THREE festival. With the discount we got, we got the theater for less than 50% of our original budget.

Rotary Partnership. The ACS presented a project proposal to the Rotary Club of Rockwell. Their response was quite favorable though we have to iron out the details to protect both interests.

Incommunicado. Just when I was expecting a lot of calls, my SIM card conks out.

Traffic mishap. I bumped Vic's car into an old delivery truck while stuck in traffic near CP Garcia. I was distracted by my phone's condition that I didn't notice the car inching forward. Good thing, I only broke the glass cover of the plate number.

Javi's accident. This was the most horrid experience of the week. I arrived home from our meeting with CCP and I was greeted with the information that Javi broke his two front teeth. Apparently, he stumbled and his face fell flat on the floor. Hay, nakakapanghina. I can't imagine how painful it was/is for him. The first two nights following the accident were difficult. He couldn't suck his thumb or drink from his bottle. It was one of those if-only-I-could-suffer-for-you moments.

Joint party. Bettina was baptized last Saturday. We also partied for Johann's 3rd birthday. The details of that celebration will be for another blog entry.

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.
