Finally, An Appointment!

For five days now, I've been on the look-out for an open slot for our US Visa Appointment. I called the US Embassy Call Center several times a day just to secure a schedule for our interview. I also made several attempts to get a slot through the online scheduling site. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful.

I was already getting nervous because I've heard of someone who waited for two weeks already and still hasn't gotten an appointment. With less than two months to get everything done, I was already thinking of the worst possible scenario. If we don't get anything suitable by the 2nd week of April, we may have to delay the trip. The travel agent I spoke to advised me to just be diligent in calling and checking out the website.

Then, at 3AM this morning, I decided to check out the website for slot availability. Lo and behold, I was able to secure a slot for me and my boys on the 22nd!

If all goes well, we plan to be in Vegas in time for the reunion and Pacquiao's fight. So, right now, I need to concentrate on gathering all my support documents for the appearance in two weeks. Nakaka-pressure!

Hay naku Lord, help me take it one day at time.

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...
