Heart2Heart had the chance to visit the beautiful home of National Artist, Arturo Luz.  I am an admirer of his works so I was happy to visit him again after a long time when he was still in his other home.  

He has a beautiful home designed by Ed Calma.

And here he is…still very active and still smiling :-) 

He took us to one of the rooms in his house which had his paintings which were for sale…. all beautiful of course! 

Then he took us upstairs to his studio where he creates his masterpieces…..

And a year after, Gil finally decides to let me come in and take photos of his own creation, his own home designed by himself…….. 

There was a beautiful feature that came out in Philippine Tatler with of course amazing photos by Wig Tysman 

And here is my interpretation……

It is amazing how much detail Gil puts into his work.  Christine said that Gil adds something every now and then.  Whether it be another small detail and another piece of furniture.

Even the door has design and texture 

Take note of the leather on the handrails of the stairs 

I noticed that Gil is practical in the sense that he always has a storage room that is an extra space to put extra shoes and clothes and for just storage- and it is a storage space that is neat and organized

This is a new addition to his place which is his tribute to the Brooklyn Bridge in New York….one of Gil’s favorite cities! 

This is my favorite part of the condo!!!  It is in the attic level!  It is a living room, with a bar, mixed with a home office and with a beautiful balcony as well.  The floor is made out of leather tiles!!!

It’s been a year after Gil and Christine got married and they are presently at Boracay celebrating where they got married!  Why didn’t you invite everyone again to celebrate with you over there?  :-)

Happy First Year Anniversary guys!!!

Gil and Christine prepared dinner for us after constantly waiting for that invitation!  Here is a sneak peek at their dining room in their beautiful new home

Christine took charge of all the accessories in their new home since Gil took care of designing the interiors.  So the place setting is all Christine’s choices which perfectly matches Gil’s taste - what a great match they make 

TV in the dining room.  Christine told me that Gil really planned it well that it was built in the wall to fit the design of the place 

And here they are….the happy couple

What a great idea by Christine! Her placecards were her scrabble pieces

It was nice that our cousins Bubu and Trisha were there too…

A home cooked meal which we truly enjoyed!

Thanks to our friend, Paey,  for inviting us to his new home and for a wonderful christmas dinner.   And for all the single ladies out there, Paey is a very very nice guy, a Stanford graduate, a hardworking Executive Director at AIG, still a bachelor…. living all alone….in a big house….hmmmm We are so lucky to be his friend!

I saw these photos from the facebook page of my Assumption classmate, Jol,  and I asked her if I could share it at Heart2Heart.  I know her father, Christian Espiritu, as one of the country’s prominent fashion designers.  I remember my grandmother talking highly about him.

It is amazing how artists are just artistic in everything they do…he designed his own home which I thought was really beautiful.

This is the condo of a future ” Steven Spielberg.”  She does not want to be known so this is anonymous, but one day you will know who she is when she comes out with her movies and then  I can say that I was once in her home

Over the weekend and taking a break from work, Tito Joey brought us to Los Angeles City! He drove us around and showed us the city.  Everywhere in Southern California is quite far from each other that you really need a car to get around especially in the heat… though it is not humid.  We went through the different residential areas and wow, we were amazed at all the huge and beautiful homes!!  And they are one after the other.  They all have beautiful landscaping and some even have sculptures in their front lawn…and not to mention the beautiful and expensive cars parked  in these houses! WOW!!

I was able to take some photos from a moving car…I wish i could have taken more…
