A Date With My Boys

Vic and I decided to take the boys to see their current favorite, Cars 2.  Johann has been bugging us to watch Cars 2 in Kong Kong (read:  HK) ever since Disney Junior showed it on TV. 

We planned to leave Bettina and the yayas in Pasig before heading to the 1PM showing at Rockwell.  But the traffic was so bad that we had to settle for the 3PM showing instead.  We had brunch and churros, walked around for a bit then got our movie snacks.

It was Javi's first full-length movie in the cinema. Before the movie, I kept on telling him that it will grow dark inside and that he shouldn't be afraid.  He had to adjust to the volume so kept on covering his ears when the level was too much for him.

I'm glad that they're already familiar with the movie (c/o a bootleg copy) so they didn't ask a lot of loud and embarrassing questions.  In fact, they were captivated by it.  Javi's eyes were glued to the big screen.  Johann was revving up his fake engine and was making steering movements whenever McQueen's racing. 

It was a rare day of indulgence for all of us.  But, it's okay.   The smile and excitement on my boys' faces were worth it.

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.
