Happy Three Kings!

 The 3rd day of the month January 2022. HAPPY 3 KINGS!

That time of the year when the three kings are celebrated because they had a grand visit to the infant baby Jesus and brought precious gifts: gold, myrrh, and frankincense. The mysterious symbolism of such lavish gifts.

Hey, I received early gifts from my sister Emmy & Kuya Romy. My birthday is on the 24th! OMG! Anyway, THANK YOU dear Sister! Much appreciated. She's that very generous in gift-giving. I used to do that too before when I was employed. I AM A STAYED-AT-HOME MOM doing household chores: cooking, housecleaning, blogging, writing, photography, etc. Actually, I usually send balikbayan boxes in Philippines for my parents and brothers and their families to have during the holidays. However, due to delivery services and shipping of such boxes can take 3 months. Would you believe? Three months to receive a box full of gifts? It has something to do with location that's why. 

I have a box full of clothes that I would like to send but thinking the long shipping service I am very cautious and adamant to send such box of goods. 

Look at those containers for the supply chain of goods unmoved in the port terminal that made some department stores in Canada looked empty during the holidays. The bad weather and unruly snowstorms and floods had crippled the economy in Canada. It's not only Canada but also the US is experiencing the supply chain. Supply, supply...is there a grand demand for such supply?

The law of supply & demand. 

Did you hear and or watch the arrival of expensive LOUIS VUITTON goods in Philippines? Who can afford such costly fashionable products? Why not? Too many new wealthy immigrants in Philippines from other countries, maybe they can afford those luxury. They could also open a GUCCI or CHANEL department stores. 

I once had an original LOUIS VUITTON cross-body handbag. Genuine leather! Unfortunately it was stolen. I think had the story in another blog I owned. Louis Vuitton is such a commodity that is eye-catching and if you are to use it or wear an original, 100% genuine outfit made of Louis Vuitton in a place where nobody can afford it, you become a target. There's a Louis Vuitton bag that is more costly than the sports car. A luggage that is more expensive than a house? lol. OMG!

I would rather wear cheap clothes and use cheap handbags because truth is MY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING FOR.
