My Lola’s Makopa tree

Today, I had one of my favorite fruits for lunch. MAKOPA! I like makopa or “tambis” because:

1.) It reminds me of my Lolo Eddie and Lola Charing and the time when we used to live with them. I remember that tree being there for as long as I have known them and I have been eating it since then

2.) It’s so yummy! I have my yaya cut it into pieces, put it in the refrigerator, then I eat it alone or with rock salt

3.) It is color pink 🙂

Up to this day, everytime I visit my Lola and I see the makopas on the driveway, that means it is makopa season!!! My lola always gives me…… and when she forgets, I make sure I ask from her so I can take home some FRESH from her tree:-)

Johnson’s Baby Cologne

By Heart2Heart | Finds, What's New at Rustan's | 6 Comments

I remember when i used to study and live in Spain, we would go crazy over all the Spanish colognes they had there and it came in really gigantic bottles. Johnson’s also had a Spanish version of the baby colognes and that was the most popular. Though there are many other good ones like De Ne Nes, Para Mi Bebe, S3, Fa and many more.

Johnson’s came up with local versions several years back and they are now available in many scents. They only come in one size of 125 ml compared to the 500 ml and 750 ml in Spain. So when I buy I buy 5 to 6 at a time!

I have a personal preference among the scents and it is called Tropical burst. I think that it is the most saleable among all too because it is always the one that runs out the fastest in the shelf.

Hurry buy it now while it is 5 times the points at Rustan’s!!

CYMA, Boracay

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Travel | One Comment

Thanks to Gerard, Tessa, Gary, Alexie, Kirby and Mara for inviting us for dinner. This is our first time to eat in Cyma in Boracay. We actually got to try the Shangri-la Plaza Mall branch first and we really liked it.

Don’t leave Boracay without eating here! Last November we were able to have it as part of the buffet from Jigger and May’s dinner. It was also very good!!

I ordered the Saganaki! I like to hear them shout Opa! 🙂 and of course I like the CHEESE!!! In Manila, the kids like it too and they call the dish Opa ( not Saganaki)! Here in Boracay, the guy serving it is muscular 🙂 and fits the part so well….

Make sure to put the lemon

It is a popular dish because during dinner we heard it about 6 times and I would get “gulat” everytime 🙂

STEAK SOUVLAKI!! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chicken souvlaki! Also yummy!!!

with Spinach rice

Bifteka- Greek Wagyu Burger

Coscolluela-Misa-Wedding Part 6 Giveaways

By Heart2Heart | Bridal | One Comment

When we arrived we had a welcome kit with so many goodies. Then after the wedding, we came home with so many many giveaways and souvenirs………but most important that we bring back are the memories of a beautiful wedding of our dear friends, Gil and Christine. Thank you for sharing your special day with us. Christine, we love you already! And to Gil, We are very happy that you have finally found your better half to share the rest of your life with, We love you!

These photo booths seem to be the “in” thing now at parties and events..

This one was a bit different from the others I have seen….

When the photo comes out – it comes out in one piece with two parts, they cut it in the middle to split the two parts – one part goes to an album. They stick it on the album and then you write your dedication. I LOVE the idea!! The other part goes to you as your souvenir and you can use it as a bookmark! 🙂

crazy friends making crazy poses 🙂

Christine told me that she made all the place cards herself!! Printed them, cut them and put them on the stones. Wow!! Good thing I kept ours 🙂

In the reception, before entering, you are given this which is already their giveaway as well. It has your name and tells you your table number

It was a giveaway given by the sisters in law – Tessa, Alexie and Mara. It was their gift to Gil and Christine. We used ours right away when we went to the beach the next day! Very practical and useful giveaway!
