Playing Pretend

Pretend was the name of the game.  I was pretending that I was watching Junior Master Chef while Johann and Javi were playing pretend.  My eyes were glued to the TV because if I give them as much as a glance, the boys will stop with whatever their doing.

Here is Johann and  one of his imaginary conversations in his pretend phone.  He was holding one of his toy cars against his ear while the other hand was clutching on the steering wheel.

"San ka na?"  After a few minutes...  "EDSA pa lang ako eh, papunta ko Pasig."  Pausing to hear the other side of the conversation, he says, "O sige punta na kayo dito."

I had to stop and think who he was imitating.  He sounded like me.  The situation looked like me.  I almost always have conversations on the phone while driving. 

Here is another one. 
"O Pepsi, nag order na kayo?"  He was "talking" to his Ninang but assuming the character of his dad. "Mag-order ka na, isang lechon at baka ha." 

At this point, I couldn't hold back my laughter anymore. 

Lechon?!?!  Baka!??!

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.
