Japan Online Seller: Rodena Azarias Shinkawa

 

This girl has made live selling a career. Most buyers and viewers call her "Manay". She owns a shop in Manila and now owns a website and she has the most numbers of followers, viewers and buyers among FB live sellers I knew. She has created a Facebook group where she would do live auctions solely for resellers. Most of her items are sold out every time she is on live.

I bought my first online purchase thru Facebook live selling from her. It was a Louis Vuitton Saumur 30 sling bag. The transaction was smooth until I noticed that I had given her the wrong zip code and the bag was dropped off the post office already. I panicked and sent her private message right away and guess what, she took care of it promptly. I got my bag on the mail and it was inside a Louis Vuitton dust bag, I remember there was no inclusion when I purchased it. That was really nice of her!

There have been no items I purchased from her since then because it was becoming hard to compete with whole sellers/ resellers from Philippines and considering the time difference, it is really hard to catch her on live.

If you are interested in buying luxurious items from Japan for personal use or for reselling purposes, she is the person you want to do business with. You name it, she will find it for you. Aside from Facebook, she can be found on Instagram and I have not followed her yet because I am not an Instagram person, but if you ever search her name, I am sure you would find her. Beware of fake accounts though, many times her Facebook account had been copied and, hacked.

Cafe de Manila: A Filipino Resto in Reno Nevada

They have been in Reno for quite a while now but it was only this trip to Reno that we were able to check it out. We had brunch last Friday and dinner last night. At brunch, we had Bangsilog, vegetable lumpia, Bulalo, Bistek Tagalog and Omelet. The foods were “so so”. We did not take picture that time. And I did not think I was gonna come back again.

A Pinoy co-worker of my son mentioned that he likes their kare-kare and sisig so I thought to give it another try, hence, the dinner last night. It was actually not bad! This time, we had Kare-kare and sizzling pork sisig of course, Pork sinigang, Pinakbet, vegetable lumpia and Pinoy french fries for hubby, Halo-halo and Leche flan.

The Menu

Pork Sinigang

Kare-kare

Pinakbet

The Garners plus two

Daughter is happy to be here. The resto has a very Pinoy feels.

Next time I will have pancit bihon and pancit canton together (Bam-i) and crispy pork belly. He said, “If I would get tired of their vegetable lumpia (the only food he likes so far), I can eat at the KFC nearby”. Poor hubby, hehe! He loved their Halo-halo though.

If you happen to be in Reno, Nevada and you want to try Filipino foods, visit Cafe de Manila! Thank you for dropping by.

Have a good one!

Japan Online Live Seller: Daisy Rallos

This screen shot was taken from one of her videos on Facebook.

 

 

 

 

Another Facebook live seller that I like and would recommend is Ms. Daisy Rallos from Choba, Japan. She is originally from Leyte, Philippines. She sells pre-loved high end brand of jewelries, bags/purses, wallets and other accessories. She priced her items very reasonably and I have bought a Spring themed Burberry umbrella which I have not used to this day and a Fendi scarf from her last year. The items came in as described and I love the "Blendy sticks" coffee she included in my package as freebies. 

 

Ms. Daisy has her fair share of viewers and patrons but she cannot give 100% time to her business because her husband and her daughter are her top priority. Whenever her husband comes home in the middle of her live selling, she would quit right there and then and bid her viewers goodbye at once and for that, she gained my respect.

As a seller, she is honest, she makes sure she mentions every flaw she finds in the items she is selling. She is funny and she laughs at her heart's content whenever something amuses her while doing live selling. Because we are also friends on Facebook, I have always loved her random funny videos and silly photos she posted.

She has a pleasant personality. She recognizes her mistake and apologizes for it. However, like any other online sellers or any other human beings so to speak, she can be mean and brutal too so to all the scammers, bogus buyers and joy miners out there, consider this a warning! Hehehe!
