Mama to the Rescue

I was awakened by a phone call from Bettina.  She was crying and I could barely understand what she was saying.  She was dropped off at her carpool meet-up point without her school bag.  Apparently, Daddy drove the other car and that didn't have her things inside.  She didn't bother checking her stuff before leaving.  Hmmm. 

It wouldn't have been a problem if Bettina's school is just nearby.  She goes to a school 20kms away from home.  My sleepy head couldn't figure out what to do.  After a few minutes, I figured, I should just meet up with the carpool  after they've picked up all passengers.  Needless to say, I was able to hand over her things just in time.  I drove like a madman.  All this happened from 6am to 7:10am. 

---------------------------

On my way back home, I was informed that another child left his basketball clothes at home and that I should just send it to his school via Lalamove.  To think that earlier in the morning, I had to go back because I left the house with this same kid's school bag in the car! Jusmio!

----------------------------

After the adrenaline kicks in, all that is left is frustration.  We need a major exercise on responsibility and time-management.

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.
