Azuthai

By Heart2Heart | Foodie, Homes and Interiors | 5 Comments

Congratulations Jay and Malu on the opening of your latest creation, Azuthai!

Thanks to our good friends Gary and Alexie for inviting us. We immediately accepted the invitation because we were so excited to try it.

Gary Coscolluela is the one responsible for the beautiful interiors of Azuthai. We are always proud of our good friend who is so talented, yet always so humble and so kind. The artistic talent definitely runs in the family of architects and interior designers.

Thanks to Jay and Malu for the desserts you gave us! We were embarassed when you said you would give us one of each, so we only chose a few but then we realized later on that we finished all the desserts we ordered and could have probably finished everything on the list! 🙂 Heart2Heart’s favorite is the Mango with sticky rice!

Thanks to Jay, Malu, Gary and Alexie for a wonderful dinner!

and MORE POWER TO ALL OF YOU!

Tutoring Club of the Philippines

By Heart2Heart | For kids | 3 Comments

We recently enrolled Jaime and Javier at Tutoring Club. They were the ones who actually kept nagging us about joining the program because all their cousins went through the program as well.

The centers are conveniently located beside residential areas which makes it more accessible to the children. We like the place very much as it is conducive to studying.

It is also important to us that the program is a worldwide program that is tried and tested. Their materials are of international standards.

We had a warm reception from Maribeth Santos who heads the Pasong Tamo branch. We are confident that our children are in good hands. She works closely with us and makes sure that the children will really benefit from the program.

We started with an assessment for the 3 subjects – Reading, Math and Writing. From there, they told us at what level our children are and what areas need improvement. Tutoring Club has a GUARANTEE

“Guaranteed to improve academic performance in less time and at a lower cost than any other program.”

James particularly liked the penants on the walls. He wants our sons to aim and study hard so they can get into the best colleges. Maribeth said that she tried looking for UP and Ateneo penants but there were none or else she would have put them up too.

We are happy to know that many friends send their children here too…

As parents, we and I am sure all the other parents out there, only hope to give the BEST education to our kids. And we will do whatever we can to make sure they prepare themselves for their future. Which is why, we welcome centers and programs like these which can supplement the schooling of our kids.

We are so happy that our kids enjoy Tutoring Club, they are even the ones forcing us to let them take the program and had us make it two hour sessions instead of one hour a day.

Goodies from Germany

By Heart2Heart | Yummy! | No Comments

Our sister Tina always brings to Sunday family lunch tons and tons of chocolates. Everyone always looks forward to this. And many times, there is always a new discovery!

The de Jesus family are all chocolate lovers!

Thanks to Gerry and Tina for bringing us back these chocolates from Germany! As we always say, next time, BRING US WITH YOU!

Milka of course is a family favorite and I agree with you Tins, the Milka cookies are soooo…. good! But then again, I agree with Dina, your homemade chocolate chip cookies are much better… just try experimenting and using Milka chocolates. And DAIM with Milka! I will share one bar with Keena because she loves Daim too. The Ovomaltine is still being saved for a special occassion! 🙂 Keep them coming!!

Primark

By Heart2Heart | Fashion, Travel | No Comments

If you are going to London, make sure to stop by Primark. My friends Suharto and Rina told me about this place. It is really very affordable considering how expensive it is in London. You can find tops for 1 British pound!!! And no it is not made in China, fashion made in Spain and Italy!

Sounds like a TARGET slogan to me but they focus more on fashion.

Primark

Primark is a retail group in the value sector and operates a total of 177 stores in Ireland (where it trades under the Penneys brand), Spain and the UK . Primark employs in excess of 25,000 people. In GB, in terms of market share, TNS ranks Primark as GB’s second largest clothing retailer by volumeand Verdict Research now places Primark as the leading retailer in value clothing. Primark was voted ‘Best Value High Street Fashion’ by GMTV and ITV viewers.

Primark Stores Ltd., is a subsidiary of Associated British Foods. Associated British Foods is a diversified international food, ingredients and retail group with global sales of £6.8bn, and 85,000 employees in 43 countries.

In the financial year 2006/7, 32 new stores were opened and five smaller stores were closed to give 4.8 million sq ft of retail selling space. Highlights during the year included the opening of London ‘s Oxford Street store in April. This was extremely successful, selling one million items in its first ten days of trading, and attracting considerable media coverage. The 85,000 sq ft Liverpool store was opened in September and was greeted with a similar level of enthusiasm both by customers and media. The new store openings in 2006/7 also included Primark’s second store in Spain . Since the year end, five additional stores have opened in Spain ; in Bilbao , Jerez , Oviedo and two further stores in Madrid . Primark now has 25 stores trading from over 50,000 sq ft of which eight trade from over 70,000 sq ft.

Plans are currently in place to open eight stores in this financial year including Ealing and Basingstoke in the UK .

Primark is successful because it offers:

• Super-competitive prices (the result of technology, efficient distribution, supply and volume buying)

• Mainstream market product quality • High Street locations • Superior store fit • Clear focus on the target market.

Macbeth

By Heart2Heart | Arts and Culture | No Comments

WORD OF MOUTH (WOM) Theater Philippines’

MACBETH

brings Shakespeare into the throne rooms and battlefields of the 21st Century: Big Business and the Multinational Conglomerate.

The classical verse remains unchanged but is re-imagined and placed into a modern corporate context. The Bard’s classic tale of greed, ambition, supernatural temptation, political domination and murder is now brought even closer to home.

JAMIE WILSON and ROEDER CAMAÑAG

alternate as Macbeth, while GIGETTE REYES and KALILA AGUILOS share the role of Lady Macbeth.

An ensemble of respected actors completes the cast, with WOM’s Artistic Director JEREMY DOMINGO at the helm.

On Wednesday July 2 and Thursday July 3, 2008 at 8pm, we are staging two special preview performances at the PETA Theater Center, #5 Eymard Drive, Barangay Kristong Hari, behind the Quezon City Sports Club off E. Rodriguez Avenue, Quezon City.

MACBETH UNPLUGGED is a fully-realized performance presented by WOM on a bare stage: an evening of prose, poetry, choreography, streamlined scenography and some of the finest actors working in Philippine Theater today.

You don’t have to buy a movie ticket, watch TV, buy a disc or download one of the most thrilling, action-packed, sensual, provocative and harrowing stories ever written.

It’s coming to life onstage before your very eyes this July.

…and it’s over Four Hundred Years old…

Visit our office and rehearsal studios, or contact our Marketing Manager, Myra A. Butac at (632) 489-4819 or (0927) 451-9179.

Art in the Park

By Heart2Heart | Arts and Culture | 2 Comments

This is the 5th ART IN THE PARK event of the Museum Foundation of the Philippines and it is the BEST by far in terms of sales. The foundation gets a percentage commission from the sale of all art works which will benefit the National Museum and its projects.

Congratulations to Trickie, Lisa, Mel and the rest of the organizers. This is a great idea!!!

By doing what you are doing, you promote Filipino artists and support them, you bring art closer to us and you make us aware of many talented Filipino artists and you help sustain our culture and heritage by supporting the National Museum. That is a great contribution to society!! A big thank you to all of you who make it happen!

The Museum Foundation of the Philippines creates an exciting event for first-time buyers and experienced collectors to purchase original contemporary art by up-coming and celebrated artists. For the first time in its three years, Art in the Park will extend until evening but only after transforming into six interactive art spaces. Allow yourself to be wooed by an equally impressive line-up of artists and art groups showcasing one-of-a-kind pieces.

LOCATION:

Velasquez Park, Valero St.,

Salcedo Village, Makati City

FAIR HOURS:

June 28, 2008

Art in the Park: 8am – 2pm

Art after Dark: 5pm – 10pm

Art in the Park features original paintings, prints, photographs and sculptures by promising art students and established visual artists.

Art after Dark is a relaxed evening affair featuring 6 interactive art spaces highlighting one-of-a-kind or specially selected pieces from different artists and art groups.
