Xevi’s Barnyard Bash!

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, For kids | 3 Comments

One of Heart2Heart’s favorite spots! Sta. Elena Fun Farm! It is such a nice place to take kids and let them enjoy time with the animals. Even the pigs just roam around. Gips and Hinds, you guys have great ideas and bring many good things to life. For a time I thought the Fun Farm would disappear, I am so happy it is back again. Pao and Kat, I am so glad you had your party there and wow, we had a great time!! What a unique party!

To the cute buddha baby, Xevi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! I love your rosy cheeks!!!

Kat, are you sure the buddha baby came out of your tummy? You are the sexiest barnyard Mom!

The AMAZING balloon sculptor!

Wow! The food was really overflowing and really good!!! Thanks to Paolo’s uncle who catered!

SMOOCHAS GRACIAS FROM XEVI![email_link]

Elegance in Filipino Dining

By Heart2Heart | Household Tips, What's New at Rustan's | 3 Comments

Tita Nena, Tita Glenda, Bettina, Gil, and Tanya set up their own dining tables by mixing and matching different items from Rustan’s Home. Each is refelective of their personalities and of course promoting Philippine products. It is all about BEING TRULY PROUD TO BE FILIPINO!

Tita Nena said that she takes this inspiration from her family dining at Subic. Since she has many grandkids, it is easier for them to sit on the floor.

Tita Glenda did not do a table setting but she presented Filipino food in a unique way.

Tita Conchitina talks about her book and shows some pages. She said that whenever she would entertain to her foreign guests while in Spain, they would notice the Filipiniana touches. And she stresses the fact that it is not hard to add the touches as they are all available in our country. It is a matter of mixing and matching and adding your personal touch. Even the Philippine Embassy in Spain, she says that it is the most unique looking one as it is very reflective of our country as everything inside is Filipino. The book shows the photos of the Philippine Embassy in Spain, Dining set ups and Filipino recipes by some Filipinas and even Philippine fashion.

And modern Filipiniana dressing

And the cocktails by Via Mare

Filipino Class at Beacon

By Heart2Heart | For kids | One Comment

I was so impressed when I saw the production of the Grade 6 class at Beacon. The children are made to direct, produce, act, and make the props for a stage play at such an early age. I personally think that this is good training for them. Stefano proudly told me he was the Director and then I saw him also in the entrance selling tickets and manning the entrance table 🙂the theater was unique such that the audience were made to sit on banig mats on the floor…

Sunday Souk at Powerplant Mall Rockwell

By Heart2Heart | Shopping, Summer, What's New at Power Plant Mall | 4 Comments

I dragged Mom to come with me to Rockwell at 7:00 am. I came out with around 200 pictures and she came out with around 200 shopping bags!! 🙂

Malou of course was there and they were giving out free breakfast with Starbucks coffee for the early birds from 7:00 am till 8:00 am. Messy Bessy was there!! That is my sister Krie! Love the way she fixed up her booth. She is so artistic and so creative!

Krie’s bestfriend, Mariel, was there too selling her own items from Negros. Beautiful summer colors!

I love the way Rustan’s did their booth! It is so “SOUK!” Other Vendors:

My friend Des, we used to work together also in Rustan’s. She is from Pampanga and has really very good Kapampangan food…and of course her famous barbeque.

Another friend, Vicky, who owns Cucina Victoria which is also inside the Powerplant Mall.

This booth was so colorful and fun!!! Love it! Apparently she is the maker of the yummy Parmesan Chips I featured. And so happy to see many more items that she makes!!

And my beautiful friend Margie who is my boot camp partner and the Paella Queen. She told me that she uses imported squid ink from Spain for her Paella Negra. It is really good! She has many more dishes you can order for your parties at home. Give her a call.

Cheese Presentation

By Heart2Heart | Cheese, Foodie, Household Tips | No Comments

What a nice presentation for cheese by Frieda Lim. I saw it and asked her if Heart2Heart could share it.

This is a cream cheese boursin spread which she molded into a bowl. Before you put the spread, arrange some fresh herbs to the bottom of the bowl. Unmold to serving plate and add more herbs around. Try it!

and a heart shaped one!!!!! Salmon Cheese Torte

I heard about this from my cousin, Ana. I thought it was a great idea and a very easy way to help..my foundation helps kids too and provides almost the same activities for the less fortunate kids. So, this our way of helping ATD.
