Yurakuen at Diamond Hotel

After the talk of Howard, we went to have lunch nearby and went to the Diamond Hotel for Japanese food

Spaghetti Mentaiko! YUMMY!

Unagi two ways

Set meal of dad

It’s a wonder why in the Philippines, japanese restaurants have such a wide range to choose from in their menu which is totally the opposite when you go to Japan. When you go to a Japanese restaurant in japan- they really just specialize- whether it be a tonkatsu restaurant, or a Tempura, ramen, yakiniku or Teppanyaki place. It’s very specialized and they concentrate on what they do best! To me its complicated to look through a long menu though in the Philippines it probably works well because we like eating in big groups and families- so the menu better cater to everyone 🙂

Its All About the People

By Heart2Heart | Hot Off the Press, Today's Quote, What's New at Starbucks? | No Comments

What a beautiful way to start the year with such great inspiration!!!

Previous entry: Leadership Principles From A Life At Starbucks Feb 2, 2012

It was so nice to see managers from the Rustan Group!

My nieces even skipped school just to listen! I wish i had sent my boys as well! It was worth it!

Until this day, my Dad and my Mom have remained very very close friends with Howard and Lyn. When you focus on the people, relationships last even outside of work and even after work!

Thank you to Howard Behar for coming over and sharing your time with us. That one hour talk was truly valuable to me and for sure to everyone who had the chance to listen that day

Watch a few clips from the talk:

It’s about PEOPLE, It’s about serving people!

[wp_youtube]qhV5HMpmpKk[/wp_youtube]

And to quote from what my cousin Gippy said:

I thought I was going to hear about the Starbucks success story. I did but nothing about marketing strategy, or money, etc. He just spoke about being yourself and being human and knowing yourself in utmost clarity and honesty, and serving others. It almost felt like I was listening to Jesus. I know that sounds too incredible but something tells me that that was the same thing Jesus was teaching his apostles. Maybe if Jesus lived a little longer he would have also created a Starbucks and more like Howard.

Justine Handbag by Jimmy Choo

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

Seventies cinematic icons continue to inspire the Jimmy Choo Spring Summer ’12 Collection. Think AnoukAimée from the film Justine with her sultry glamour and insouciant style. The direction is decidedly sporty, loose and manifests in ‘Justine’, a new bag with unstructured slouch appeal.

The craftsmanship of Justine reveals an attentive hand, with traditional artisanal stitching and piece work with each bag requiring more than two weeks to finish. The subtle “bombé” padding technique around the flap is a luxurious detail that softens the edges and creates texture while drawing attention to the distinctive hardware, a slip-lock inspired by a gold lipstick case.

The Justine bag is designed with an unzipped front pocket, variations of which expose a hidden flash of textured python in bright colors of yellow, coral and emerald. Other more opulent options are made entirely in matt and shiny crocodile in Klein blue, acid yellow and violet.

In the Philippines, Jimmy Choo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 4, AyalaCenter, Makati City.

A French Carnaval for Alessi

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, For kids | 4 Comments

Another breathtaking party by my good friend, Grace! This girl is truly amazing in organizing and creating memorable occassions!! How she transformed the ballroom and how she put together all the details of her party. The contents of the Patisserie were even bought abroad and she put them all together to come up with the theme. All the moms ( especially me ) were the ones raiding the Patisserie of Alessi 🙂

Happy Birthday to the little Princess, Alessi!

A Gifted Man

By Heart2Heart | Entertainment | One Comment

I saw this TV series this morning and loved it instantly! I have only seen the first episode.

I was a Grey’s Anatomy addict and for those that fell in love with Mc Dreamy, I think you will love Dr. Holt even more! I don’t really watch too much shows and TV, but I will be following this. I predict transformations happening to this very handsome doctor 🙂

Javier Loves The Red Crab

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

Javier loves crabs! And whenever Mom asks him to choose a restaurant, he always chooses RED CRAB!

Red Crab Alimango House Resorts World September 12, 2010

Good thing I captured those moments as proof 🙂

On his birthday last year, we went here again

and he discovered the chicharon bulaklak which he likes too

OH GOSH!

This year, he chose Red Crab again

Chicharon Bulaklak again

hmm…another deadly dish 🙂

They offer so many kinds of ways of cooking for the crab. They are all YUMMY!! Problem is they are all fried! So i asked the waited which one is not fried, and he said that they can just steam one for me so that is what I ordered!

Getting ready for the crab

I actually got some of the garlic from this prawn dish and used it for my crab

Here is my steamed crab which was just as good without all the garnishings! YUMMY!! But of course I chose the female which probably negated the healthiness of the steamed crab

Daddy loves crab too!

Thanks Tita Pam for the birthday cake!

Your Baby’s Cord Blood The Gift of a Lifetime

By Heart2Heart | For kids, Great Inventions, Health and Fitness | No Comments

I wish they had this technology when I had my two sons. My sister told me about this when she had her third daughter and she enrolled 7 years ago. In fact, her storage is still in Singapore and I had mentioned to her that they already have storage facilities here. She says they will fly it over if ever. For future Moms, I highly recommend this

Mission Its Possible

By Heart2Heart | Celebrations, For kids | 6 Comments

Many years ago, I told janet that she should be a party organizer! I am so happy that she is one now!

A Wacky Sports Double Birthday Bash March 8, 2009

Educare Celebrates Easter April 11, 2009

I recently hired Janet to organize a small party for Javier’s birthday. He wanted to just spend time with his friends so I thought that something supervised would be better than just them trying to figure out what to do or they might just end up playing videogames.

Janet will work with you on what your kids like and she will create a unique and one of a kind experience for the kids. She is really amazing! She is for me a “boutique” party planner because she will really taylor the whole party of your child

I heard she did a 39 Clues party for our friend Nicole so I thought that something similar to that Javier would like because he is very playful and needs to keep moving around! So we did a Mission Impossible theme taken from Tom Cruise’s movie 🙂

She even made the invite for me!

While waiting for the kids to arrive, they had some snacks and they had to make it themselves! 🙂

Janet turned our basement into a lab! After eating they did some science experiments which they really enjoyed

Janet’s super loveable and cute son Joshua, helped his Mom and is part of the team!

Then they had to train for the mission. With the help of Janet’s husband, N.E.D., he was in charge of training the kids and preparing them for the mission
