Hola 2024!

Another new year has begun.  It is time to go back and revisit what has been done and what needs to be done.  It is time to re-evaluate what was effective and what needs to be improved. 

I have made it a tradition to set my annual goals and targets at the beginning of the year.  Knowing that I have ticked off my goals for the year gives a sense of fulfillment that trumps all the heartaches and sacrifices to get me to where I am.

In 2023:

        ✔  Travel with husband.  I am amazed that we were able to do this for both work and pleasure.  

       ✔  Travel with the whole family

        ✔  Start a new income stream

        ✔   Sell more EVs.  I know this is vague.  But we were able to get into the retail market and find our niche. 

        ✔  Daily prayers and meditation

This year, 2024, my primary focus is on my health. The stress on the last quarter of 2023 took a toll on me, physically.  This may mean delegating more work, refusing to take part in activities that will stress me even more, taking more trips or breaks to re-energize.  

On the professional side, the goal is to harvest the seeds we planted in 2023 and be more profitable.  We have grown our reach to local companies and we have grown our supplier database also.  I feel that this is the year we regain our control and set our professional boundaries.  

Time to get back to work!

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.
