Our Socially-Distanced Bunso

I've been home-schooling my youngest for two years now. It is both convenient and economical. However, during times of isolation, he is also isolated from his home educator. Yes, we stopped our sessions in the meantime. Now, he has a lot of free time to fill up. He has his devices but I guess he's had his fill of the Internet.

Yesterday afternoon, he asked to speak to his kindergarten classmates. He is bored daw. Nobody wants to play with him. His siblings are all older than him. Nakakaawa. While I have my ways to keep myself occupied, I've forgotten how my youngest will fill up his day.

Since my middle children are capable and independent, I've asked them to help "entertain" our bunso. Bettina will bake, do art, teach Joaquin how to play the guitar. Bettina is very patient with him. She is the perfect big sister. Javi, on the other hand, is Joaquin's "best friend." Javi will teach him how to play basketball and other sport-related stuff. My main concern now is if Javi and his "best friend" can get along in that short period of time. This experiment will either break or bond them.

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.
