45/50

By | Arts and Culture | One Comment

What a nice way to celebrate!  Jia at 45 and Rhett at 50.  Blessed to have had the chance to work with these two when I first stated working in Rustan’s.  We were in the same group – Jia under the Ladies division handling Ferragamo and in the Teens Division Rhett was handling Due.  I handled these two divisions when I first started.  Don’t ask them how I was as a boss haha!!  Happy Birthday Jia and Rhett!  45_50 (14)

My favourite are the three chairs made by Jia’s family

These two made by Julianna and Justina – the two daughters of Jia – and are not for sale45_50 (7)

An interpretation by Jia’s husband, Gabby Estrella.  Gabby really makes mini chairs out of champagne corks and wine bottles and collects them.  This too is not for sale 🙂45_50 (8)

Visiting Dra. Vermen Verallo Rowell

By | Health and Fitness | No Comments

This is my first time to visit Dra. Verallo.  She’s the mom of my friend, Laura, and a friend of my Mom, so I am at ease 🙂  A lady beside me just told a guy in the waiting room that he should only see the best and that he has come to the right place.  I am even more at ease 🙂   This place is not only a Dermatology clinic but it is also a research centre Dra. Vermen Verall (2)

Dra. Vermen Verall (1)

And here she is.  She is 75 years old but very strong and with beautiful skin. Not a single wrinkle 🙂  She came so well dressed with a pink brooch and pink earrings.  So i asked her if she liked the colour pink ( like me ) and she said no.  She found herself so dark and dull wearing grey, she wanted to add colour to her outfit 🙂  I love that disposition 🙂 Dra. Vermen Verall (11)

Dr Vermen Verallo RowellI came to show my mole and wanted it removed.  I already showed it before but have decided now to just have it removed.  Previous entry:  Photodermatology in the Tropics by VSRC October 21, 2013

She looked at it in less than a minute and then saw many other things in my skin that needed to be addressed 🙂  So she analysed me and then started typing on her computer.  I love it that she is using a computer to log everything!! Dra. Vermen Verall (8)

This was the scope she used to look at my mole.  What a great gadgetDra. Vermen Verall (10)

Typing, typing all the findings and the products I need.  I am in good hands 🙂  Dra. Vermen Verall (9)

So much information all around the place including the bathroomDra. Vermen Verall (5)
