Is It Working For You?

You may have heard about the change of mall hours. This was done to ease up traffic along EDSA during the Holiday Season.

Did you feel any change in traffic? Were you more inconvenienced?

I was willing to give it a try until I realized how it was NOT working for me.

I am a hands-on mother. I drive my kids home from school when I don’t need to go my workplace. I squeeze in shopping for the home and Christmas presents during the 1 hour window before pick-up time. Now that they’ve delayed opening mall doors by 1 hour, I’ve lost that window.

I must not be the only one affected by this.

Last night, I was making my way home from Makati at 10:30PM. I got home at midnight. The heavy traffic was all because malls were open till 11PM. After passing Robinsons Galleria, the drive was literally a breeze. All 60 minutes was spent crawling the roads of EDSA from Estrella to Poveda.

So, if you ask me, it is NOT working for me.

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 turn in their graves seein

Life Lately

For several months now, my husband and I have been juggling the EV importing business and this ambulatory center we are putting up. In August, we hosted a grand birthday party for FIL, received balikbayans then sent them off. The kids started school in August too. Did I say that their schools are quite far from each other? It has been a busy past few months. I am not used to waking up early every morning to bring the kids to school then head off to work. I am starting to feel tired. It is an adjustment. At first, I was enjoying being an "empty nester" when all kids are in school. But now that work is piling up, I miss those quiet times at home. I am so looking forward to having a vacation soon. I need to recharge.
