Thank you Tita Marissa Fernan for inviting us to the opening of SM Aura.  We will never say no to you 🙂  

The building was designed by the BEST ARCHITECTS in the country – Tito Wilie Coscolluela with sons, Gil and Gary.  We love them!

Tita Marissa’s beautiful sisters who are twins!  I never felt so appreciated, I actually felt like I was Sarah Jessica Parker that evening since Marget and Maur wanted photos with Heart2Heart!  I love them! 🙂

Caught some ladies taking a photo with Harley Sy 🙂  

I believe this is the Sy family on the side awaiting the arrival of Sarah Jessica Parker

And so happy to see Mariza Hourani modelling there in the SM store.  We were chatting about her modelling career while waiting for Sarah Jessica Parker 🙂

Ribbon Cutting ceremony

I was able to stay in front but then photographers came so I was blocked when she came, but here is a video of the arrival and ribbon cutting

She’s so beautiful and looks just like on TV 🙂
