Arya Residences by Arthaland

By Heart2Heart | Homes and Interiors, Real Estate | 2 Comments

I was so happy to be invited by my younger cousin, Ela! She is among the younger generation of cousins already and it’s amazing how their generation has grown so fast and they are now working and starting out their careers. Ela told me that she is into real estate and is now a sales associate of Arya Residences by Arthaland. She took me around their showroom in Bonifacio Global City

Ela explained to me about the direction of the wind and the wind tunnels they created in this development for proper circulation and ventilation

We looked outside to see the development and you can see one building almost finished already and the next one coming up

What I like about the development the most is the GREEN factor in it. It’s the first LEED residential condo in the country and I wish others would follow

Faucets are designed to have controlled flow of water to avoid wastage

High efficiency toilets by Toto

With many other unique features

She took me to the showroom which I have not seen since the first time i was there and they were selling the first tower. The designs were different back then. Ela said that they hired the best space planners in the country – Periquet and Galicia, which is why even if the one bedroom is only 66 square meters, it did not feel like it at all

This was my favorite in terms of interior!

Guest bathroom

Kitchen

This is the utility room and maids quarters!!! I am so inspired I want to do this too!! It’s so nice!

Bedroom 1

Bedroom 2

Master Bedroom

And they also have the Arya Villas which if their low rise

The building is not yet finished yet they have garnered so many awards already

Look for Ela and visit her in the showroom

Super Easy Ice Cream Cake

By Heart2Heart | Household Tips, Recipes, Summer, Yummy! | 3 Comments

Received this gift from Selecta which I thought was such a nice gift idea!!!!!!!!

Everything inside it includes all the ingredients you need to make an ice cream cake and it comes with instructions too! It’s so easy!

Love it that a tub can come with three flavors already – though my most favorite flavor from Selecta is Mantecado and Cheese /Queso

Again instructions

and Voila! Of course the fresh fruit you need to add yourself 🙂 Looks like it’s something that is hard to make but it’s just a matter of layering and putting things on top of each other 🙂

Student Led Conference

By Heart2Heart | Education, For kids | No Comments

A few months back, we went to the PTC ( Parent Teacher Conference ) of Javier. But this time it was different, quite interesting actually

So nice to bump into Tessa, Mom of one of Javier’s good friends

Kay and Santi, son of Tessa 🙂

The friends of Javier were teasing him that they looked like twins with his Papa and I looked and realized that they were right!!! 🙂 Javier didn’t want me to take a photo but I am glad I did – they really looked alike that day! More like brothers! 🙂

Going back to the PTC, what made this different was it was the student explaining and telling their parents how they were performing in each class – why they liked it, why they thought it was difficult, etc etc
