I am rushing this feature because you have till Sunday to go to Powerplant Mall at Rockwell to bid on the beautiful Barbie dolls being auctioned off by Tessa

Remember the Christmas tree in Dusit Thani Hotel where Tessa had a Barbie Christmas tree?  Then she won and gave P 100,000.00 to her favorite charity!

After that, she had an idea to further auction off the barbie dolls from the tree and still raise more money to give to charity….. AGAIN!! Isn’t she amazing?

And here she is!  Queen Tessa! I was telling Malou that Tessa is so funny because she bidded on many of her Barbie dolls! And Malou said, ” Ya, she can’t just give it directly, she has to have an event!” 🙂  Just to show you how our friend, Tessa, is! Always so COLORFUL and always so GIVING!!! And WE LOVE HER!!  Heart2Heart truly admires the SEA QUEEN ( That’s Heart2Heart’s title for her)!

    I am an avid reader PDI. While I was reading this article I come across the name that I used to work with when I was still in the Phil. Her name is Tessa Alindogan. I always knew she will be a very successful one. I am very impress by her art works and designs. May God continue more blessings to you all. Regards to her although she may not remember me. I still remember being invited for lunch and showed her beautiful house to us .
