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!

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 tu...

Peacher Grapes

Last weekend, we were invited to PAREF Rosefield's Open House. We've been meaning to formalize our intent to enroll Johann there. It was a great opportunity for us to know more about how the school is run and how it differs from other schools. The Orientation affirmed what we believe, that the parents are the primary educators. They also share the same values that we'd like to foster in our kids. Their method of instruction is not too limitting . It seems to have the right mix of structured and unstructured instruction. We were also informed that the kids got into the big schools of their choice. That speaks well of their effectiveness as a school. I also like the fact that they give formation and skills classes to yayas while they're waiting for their alagas to finish class. -------------------- We brought Johann with us so he'd be more familiar with the faces and the school grounds. There was one kid who wanted to drag him to the play area. She was ...
