Vacation 2011

I heard through the grapevine, that Vic's relatives will be having a reunion in Vegas next year. We're thinking of bringing Johann and Javi. Johann will be 3 years and 10 months by then. Javi will be 2 and a half years old. Bettina will be too little to remember anything. It will be just Vic and me who will hold the fort. Oh well, good luck to us.

I am already thinking of the travel gear and snacks I'd need to bring. Since Vegas isn't really a place for kids, I don't know how to keep them busy. In fact, some Casinos don't allow kids in the premises. Excited as I am, I looked it up and found out that we could bring them to M&M world
Fremont.

I am not sure how else I can keep them entertained. For sure, we'll bring Johann's latest favorite, the iPad. We'd, most likely, get a side-by-side stroller for the parents' convenience, a rental car and a some cheap-o car seats for the length of our stay. I'd have to get the kids' visas first and have mine renewed. Let's hope we'll not encounter any problems with that.

It is expensive, I know. I hope FIL will sponsor the trip.

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.
