Are We Ready?

Johann received a toddler bed for Christmas. Vic hasn't assembled it yet. We still have to get Johann a mattress for the bed.

He is turning 4 this June and I am wondering if it is time to make him sleep in his own room.

At present, all kids stay in the master bedroom. This way, we can spend time with the kids, without the yayas and we can save up on electricity because only 1 A/C will be running at night.

We have an extra mattress on the floor, initially intended to break the fall of kids from the big bed. Javi and I sleep on the big bed. Vic and Johann use the extra mattress because the A/C cools that part of the room better than the big bed. Bettina sleeps in the crib but co-sleeps with me when she wakes up at night.

Moving Johann to the other room means that Javi has to stay there, too. Otherwise, he won't budge. Since they're still not too comfortable with the new yayas, they still want to spend more time with us. They are extra clingy also.

Hay, when should kids sleep in their own rooms? I never got my own room till I was old enough to have a boyfriend. So, I wouldn't really know.

Hehehe. Looks like it is going to be difficult. We still haven't graduated from toilet training.

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 ...
