Daddy Dearest

My kids' father may not be around all the time (because he has to earn a living) but he is a supportive Dad whenever he is around. He was there when it mattered.

Unlike most fathers, he wasn't afraid to hold his newborn babies. I can count on him to keep the kids occupied while I need some time. I like that fact that I can rely on him to take over whenever I can't handle the kids. He wakes up in the middle of the night to make milk or to take over burping duties. I appreciate his offer to drive Johann to school everyday and his occasional reminder to give Javi his own special day. I am always glad to see him home early to assume parenting duties with me.

For sharing the parenting responsibilities with me, I gave him the treat he'll most appreciate... a trip to Spirals!

---------------

Since Father's Day fell on the day after Johann's birthday, Vic postponed his Father's Day treat till the special holiday that was PNoy's inauguration. Travel to Sofitel was a breeze. It seemed like everyone was either glued to their TV or was at the Quirino Grand Stand.

We were already in Buendia when people where trickling out of the inauguration venue. Buti na lang, we were seated already by the time the guests in their Filipiniana attire arrived.

Spirals is always a treat. Look at the spread.






I feasted on these...


I loved the honey with truffles shown above. It went very well with the cheeses.

Vic's fave was this. He loved the fact that he can carve the Parmesan out of the wheel. He drizzled it with Balsamic vinegar. Yum!

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 ...
