One Infinite Summer

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Charriol Saint-Tropez Collection

People love the sparkling, sun-drenched port of St. Tropez for all the obvious reasons – the chic sauntering visitors, the incredible light, the clear Mediterranean, the smell of lavender, the beautiful bodies. It’s probably the most glamorous Riviera destination that’s still a little bohemian; wild, mysterious and exotic — much like veteran Swiss watch manufacturer Charriol’s St-Tropez Infinite Summer collection.

On October 12, Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and Charriol will host an exclusive, one-night only event to celebrate the collection. No less than French entrepreneur Philippe Charriol and his son Alexander Charriol will fly to Manila to grace this momentous event. Also joining the event is famous French singer Antoine Debarge who sung the brand’s new soundtrack entitled, Hey, Charriol, and who is also set to perform live during the affair.

The new collection comprises models adorned with diamonds set in mother-of-pearl, a first in the Charriol range. Dubbed as summer’s ‘It’ watch, the St-Tropez Infinite Summer jewelry watch has a cable bracelet and adjustable chain that shines beneath an unusual sapphire crystal.

Thanks to its sophisticated case construction, the latter covers not only the dial but also the bezel. Behind this show window, the hour and minute hands sweep across the mother-of-pearl dial base embellished by its sunburst motif, which features beams radiating out from the small seconds sub-dial.

The collection also features innovative cable motif rubber straps in black or white which afford a casual touch and is destined to appeal to younger wearers. Imbued with a truly refreshing appeal, its 30 mm-diameter cases come in natural steel; pink gold-plated or yellow gold-plated versions with white or black mother-of-pearl bezels, polished or set with diamonds.

In the Philippines, Charriol is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) with shops located at Greenbelt 4, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Tower, Gateway Mall, SM Mall of Asia, 158 Designers’ Boulevard Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Robinsons Midtown, Newport Resorts World, The Podium, Rustan’s Ayala Cebu, Abreeza Davao and Limketkai Cagayan de Oro.

The Friendly Kitchen

By Heart2Heart | Giving Back | No Comments

We went nearby to scout the places for catholic churches for Jaime to go to. This was one of them

The church was closed so we were trying to get access to the office so we could talk to someone and we stumbled into this instead!

They were using the church as a temporary venue for their feeding since they are renovating their building

This is their stock of food which is being donated by individuals or food stores for them to use to cook food. They feed around 80 to 100 people a day

Dining area

Here is Liza and her friend Carol who are the ones cooking. Liza told me they cook everyday the whole year except for Christmas day. WOW!!! They are amazing!!!

Donations as well where anyone can just get if it fits them 🙂

Cute, they even have a kids corner

More donations

This is the founder and owner of the Friendly Kitchen! Liza gave me a poster:-)

They are building their feeding center! I wish I could do this one day!

Dorm Room Checklist

By Heart2Heart | Education, For kids | 6 Comments

The kids are assigned to a house ( dorm )

Common areas

We arrived early and had a headstart in organizing the room

This is it! 🙂

We decided to rearrange the room to give each of the kids fair chance of having their own bed space so no one has to be on top of the double deck. So this is what we changed it to ( though I heard they already rearranged it after living there for a few weeks, I am still waiting for the photo 🙂 )

More storage space on top of the room

Roomates space

Jaime’s big brother, Chris 🙂

Thanks to some friends who helped us out an gave us a list of all the things we would need in the dorm. We were guided so well in buying the things. Even the stores were very prepared, they already have printed checklists which you can grab in the front of the store and use it as a guide. It’s so common in the States that they are such experts at dorm living!

From Bed Bath and Beyond

Go here to see a bigger version of this: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/bts01_checklist.asp

Wow, i wish I made my dorm room in college PINK! haha 🙂

The boys brought all the things up!! And let Mommy do the unpacking!!! Oh my! 🙂 They went to do other things that were needed – books, etc etc

For comfort since the mattresses could be quite old. I want my son to have a good rest at night after all he will be studying very very hard! 🙂

I bought this pen so I could mark all his things!! in case it gets misplaced!

I bought dymo tape that you can iron on clothes

Name stickers to stick on school supplies

FOOD!!! In case of emergency! 🙂

For his few valuables

Attached to his bed

Tote to bring to the shower plus all the toiletries

School supplies from Staples

Bed lamp for reading

For all devices!

Phone with a very very long cord!

We bought those portable plastic drawers to put under the bed for additional storage – plenty bottled water, drinks, food and toiletries. We figured it would be best to stock up so he does not have to go out of campus just to buy little things

After 3 hours, Mommy was tired!!! And this was the room

The closet 🙂

Still some space left which I am sure will get full as time goes by

Thanks to Lola Menchu for remembering to pack these!

After around 2 hours of me fixing, the roomate arrived

with 6 other family members!! WOW!! It was a family affair 🙂 and he was lucky he had a lot of help – they finished unpacking even before me!

We were so happy to know that his roomate had a good family background! They even invited him already for Christmas to stay over! 🙂

Soon after lunch, they already had activities!! Jaime was kicking us out already!! He was so excited!

Oh my! Mess already – we had not even left yet! 🙂

We went down to see what they were doing- they were already having dorm activities and last we saw was they were passing a football around – hmmm…
