October Update

Wow, the months went by just like that!  In two months, we'd be ushering the new year.

I didn't realize that no updates have been made in this blog since that single entry in January.  And, to think, I planned to chronicling the year's events here.   Sorry naman.

At the beginning of the year, I've decided that this will be the year of good health.  I decided to be more deliberate in caring for the health of my family, and my own.  This was the priority and I am glad that we were able to give it the attention it needed.  We've been in and out of the hospital for the past few months for monitoring and urgent care.  We are still working on some issues, but thankfully everything is manageable.  I am so glad that Vic's work has given us a generous HMO plan so there's no need to set aside a budget for healthcare.  



August was pretty bothersome.  Vic underwent RAI treatment for his thyroid.  Johann had a neck injury that turned out to be a month-long spasm.  He had to undergo physical therapy for a couple of weeks.  I realized that I know my son well enough to ignore doctor's orders to undergo further counseling.  Thank God for mother's instinct.  

Apart from that, I learned that I can still be productive with 3 hours of sleep in 48 hours.  Pwede pa pala ako mag Med School.  On a more serious note, I hope to lose another 10 lbs by the end of the year.  I aim to do so in a less painful and healthier method.  I lost a few already because of several gastroenteritis episodes.  

Also health-wise, I am happy to share with you that I've gone into oiling.  I'm trying to lessen the synthetic drugs that go into our bodies that's why I resorted to these plant-based oils.  I am still new to it so I may not be utilizing these oils to its fullest potential.  I haven't explained what it does to my children but they seem to notice the effects in their bodies when I use my EOs.  

Another big event to celebrate was bringing down my Unread emails from 9000+ to 500+.  Hahaha. I know, it is so unremarkable.  I take delight in small things.  I didn't realize that I still had unread mails from 2011.  

That's about it for now.  Everything else is just a blur as far as 2019 goes.  Till the next update!

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.  

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...
