Hello 2019




                                                                           *photo not mine


I've put a lot on hold in the past few months.  Because of that competition/junket tour, which I have yet to blog about, my list of to dos has grown.  I've prayed fervently for guidance and discernment.  I guess, it is now up to me to get things started. 

Last year, I realized that I should start investing my time on things and people who would value my input.  I've started discarding things that do not "spark joy," as Marie Kondo puts it.  That included people, because I need inspiring people to propel me forward. 

This year, I am going to be more deliberate in executing my plans.  I have plans for personal development (skill-wise and health-wise),  financial independence and improved family life.  Heck, I've even made travel itineraries even if there's no travel date in mind.

I am putting it out there in the universe because the universe will help me achieve my goals.  I also aim to be more in control of things I can control. 

With that in mind, I am sharing these guiding principles I've shared with my children. 
1)  If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it.
2)  If you do not ask, the answer will always be NO.
3)  If yo not step forward, you will always be in the same place.

Let's get it 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...
