Diego – Bautista Wedding Reception

By | Bridal | No Comments

We attended an exquisite wedding of the sister of our good friend, Jeanne.  It’s nice when there’s a family event that she always allocates a table for her friends and we are always included 🙂  


Love the mini lampshades 

Cocktails before entering the ballroom

Congratulations John and Jennie

Loved the decorations in the reception

Our group with Tito Frank and Tita Mila who were Principal sponsors for the couple

Our table

A surprise flash mob dance for the couple!!!! We were wondering why there were two guys who were not part of the group sitting in the table.  Apparently the dancers were planted in different tables.  Then the entourage and some friends danced in front!  Watch the video

I wake very early in the morning three times a week to do burpees!! Am I crazy?? 🙂  I don’t like it but I have to do it and I heard it’s a great exercise that benefits the whole body

If you look at this, you won’t want to eat any if you have to do hundreds of burpees to burn them off!!! I can only do 7 burpees in 30 seconds haha!!

My bootcamp mate, Laura and her husband Juampi are the experts at burpees – they can do three burpees while I am finishing my one! Yikes!!  Here’s an article written by Laura on our favourite exercise

Coach Anthony Tordesillas Memorial Cup

By | For kids, Sports, Tributes | One Comment

Last February, Javier joined a tennis tournament, the Coach Anthony Tordesillas Cup

Coach Anthony used to teach my nephew, Ramon and my two sons, Jaime and Javier, tennis. ( I am having a hard time looking for the photo with Coach Anthony and the kids )  He was a good friend of my brother in law, Mike.

He passed away a few years ago and this tournament was started by his brother, Roque Tordesillas.  Proceeds from the tournaments goes to a foundation to aid tennis players who cannot afford

Christmas at Educare

By | Educare, Giving Back | No Comments

We had our delayed Christmas gift giving at Educare a few weeks ago.  I normally do it early but  last year was just too hectic.  So better late than never 🙂  

Thank you to my friends, Maritoni and Triccie for the costumes which we gave to the kids

Touring White Plains

By | Green, Homes and Interiors, Shopping | 2 Comments

I had to go to the Katipunan area so I asked my friend, Ginge, for places I could check out on the way there and here are some places I was able to pass by in White plains.  

This place had a lot of Asian furniture and decorative items

Bellitudo

The popular Bawai’s from Tagaytay is open in Manila and this is their branch




Further down is Earth Kitchen which Ginge said was quite good

and a Healthy organic store


I would have wanted to go inside this place 🙂  Pan de Amerikana which was an inverted house 🙂

I went to Assad in Jupiter street

It’s an Indian grocery

I went to buy Basmati rice.  Tita Rose suggested this to us since Basmati rice apparently has a low glycemic level which is a better alternative for diabetics
