On the Second Month of Quarantine

They've loosened the reins.  The roads are more crowded now.  There are lot more people roaming around the metro.  These people may be carriers of the veerus. 

I may have let my guard down a bit.  But, I am more cautious now.  I am refraining from ordering cooked food.  We can't be too sure. 

My menu has also gone back to beginning of ECQ.  To make things easier in the kitchen, I've employed a cuisine theme per day.  This will help break up the monotony of Pinoy food.  Last Saturday, we had Japanese food.  I made Beef Sukiyaki and Salmon Teriyaki.  Last Sunday was Korean food.  I prepared Bibimbap plus a few banchan dishes.  I am proud of this Bibimbap even if it doesn't look too appetizing.




Last night was Mexican-inspired with tacos and nachos.  I would have prepared margaritas but it gets lonely when you are drinking alone.  I miss my drinking buddies. 

We'll probably have Italian food next with Pasta Primavera leading the menu.  I remember we have some cherry tomatoes and fresh basil in the ref.

On the home improvement side, Vic and the boys have taken up re-painting some parts of the house.  I've also cleared up some space to make room for desks for all kids.  This is in preparation for "blended" learning for the coming school year.  The balcony is up next.  I am itching to put some plants and other pieces of furniture to make it a more useful space.  Thanks to Pinterest for the inspiration. 

I've also put more structure in the kids' daily activities.  I am incorporating school work as review of topics from the previous school year. This will hopefully ease up the transition to home-schooling.

I wonder what home projects I'll take on next week.

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...

Great Finds for the New Year

I'm always excited to try out new products.  I've tried these new products and found them to be very satisfactory.  I hope you get to try these out too. 1. Soap and Glory's Clarity - I was about to become Rudolf, the reindeer, before I found this.  It stopped my zit from becoming a full-blown center-of-attraction.  It has a very refreshing smell that is very much needed after a sweating it out the whole day.  Available at Sephora stores. 2.  Mocha Rose by Rosebud Perfume Co -  If you like the Rosebud Salve balms that come in small tin pods, you will love this product.  It comes in an easy-open tube for convenience and effortless application.  The application tip has a velvety texture unlike most balms in a tube.  More importantly, the balm is so effective, it took out the dryness on my lips in a couple of applications.  Also available at Sephora stores.  ...

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.
