Symbolic Offerings

By | Celebrations, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Lolo always celebrates special occasions with a mass.

Lolo’s dedication and love for God all his life, though uncomparable, has been a guiding example to me and to the whole family

And for his birthday he has it with his big family which includes his managers and employees of the Rustan Group.  And this has been a tradition for as long as I can remember, even when Lola Glecy was still alive.  Everyone celebrates with him

There was a beautiful part of the mass where each group of company offered a symbolic offering as their gift to Lolo Benny!  It was a very nice and meaningful gesture which I want to share at Heart2Heart

We were looking at our server and Heart2Heart’s LOOK ALIKE antenna was working and noticing that this guy looks like my cousin in law, Keith!

So we asked him and he said yes he has a brother named Keith! His name is Lance!  And we had the best service ever and enjoyed so much our meal! So make sure you look for Lance when you eat at Yew!

Vancouver Sightings

By | Travel | 3 Comments

This is my third time to go to Vancouver but hardly remember the first two visits.  It was a perfect place to relax after a busy trip in LA.  It’s peaceful, clean and beautiful!  Everywhere you go is never crowded and you never have to stress about anything!

As everyone warned us, cold and rainy in Vancouver

So we just took the car and drove around.  We drove around the perimeter of Stanley park
