Senior Spirit Event

By | Education | No Comments

 I’m so lucky to be part of Batch 2018 !   The parents are all amazing. Since it’s the last year for our kids, they have lined up several activities for the kids to support them in this very stressful time – applying for college and just going through IB. The first activity for the year was Senior Spirit Event. The parents made packs for the kids which included keychains ( blonde black and brown hair 🙂 ) and freshly baked cookies by my sister in law Tina. Yum I wish I was there to steal some 🙂 #h2hism

 The LONGEST bruschetta is found in @vabenepastadeliph in @centralsquareph BGC. We tried the Grande ( ofcourse 🙂 ) with 4 flavors last night – Picante, Trentina, Milanese and Piemontese. There is a 5th flavor Puzzona. It comes in Grande ( choice of 3 flavors 60 cms) and Normale ( 2 flavors 20cms) What a great idea !! #vabenepastadeliph

Blue Bazaar
Blue Bazaar is an eclectic place where cultures collide and traditional designs are patchworked to create looks inspired by the Persian rugs and Turkish tiles found along ancient trade routes. Beyond the bustling bohemian bazaars, find a place to take a plunge in any of our bluemist patchwork printed swim styles where contrast binds, modern double- strap details and peek-a-boo cut outs modernize classic shapes. Still proving its popularity is the cold shoulder bandeau with frill detailing, hailing back to a 70s retro boho aesthetic, remember to haggle for some silver beads to swing from ties on your favorite swim style.
Be a culture collector, scouring the globe to find those unique one of a kind garments. In outerwear, the Blue Bazaar swim print is highlighted with soft summer pink hues.

August: Indian Summer
Immerse yourself in the Indian Summer of sun sand and spices. Saturate your senses in the chaotic heat of the Bazaar to the free spirit of the coast. Be enveloped in textiles inspired by the traditional crafts of India where digitally printed designs of kaleidoscopic beadwork create and illusion of texture across swim, active and overswim. Our Indian Summer print is where peachy sunset hues of dusty pink and peach melba sit alongside flecks of turquoise and lapis, highlighted by bands of dusky black.
From the coast of Goa to Cuba, the Havana textured knit returns to swim in fresh block colours of black and peach melba. Beauty is in the detail as swim styles are trimmed with copper triangle trinkets, statement fabrics are transported into this summer season with modern shapes and multi Rouleau strapping whilst engineered placements enhance our exotic photo real print.

September: Mandala
Swim in a moonlit sea under an inky sky as stars swirl into intricate celestial Mandala designs. European Riviera style is reimagined with a mysterious gypsy edge in prints reminiscent of Portuguese tiles with hand painted designs bathed in watery tones of French blue and black with optical white grounds.
The intricate tile design sits next to a print of gestural paintbrush marks in inky stripes where organic lines bleed and fade into white space creating a hand crafted aesthetic complimentary to our artisan theme. Mandalas magical sands are where romantic and sporty styling combine for a feminine fashion active look, with tie front crop tops and zip front rash vests in inky stripe placement prints. Our spliced print playsuit is your go to beach to bar outfit, whilst the strappy maxi in indigo space- dyed jersey is an effortless piece.

A Winning Smile Makes a Universe of Difference

By | Beauty, Health and Fitness | No Comments

Remember that famous “Close Up Smile” 20 years ago? We were all enamored by the romance and the good looking commercial models.  I found out 20 years later that though they are good looking, they still need some help to make their teeth perfect.  That gives me a sigh of relief to know that we all have the potential to have beautiful teeth. An even bigger sigh of relief that the person responsible for those pearly white teeth was my gradeschool best friend, Nelda Valencia Eufemio.  She started from a small clinic in Makati and she would work on the models and actors. Today she has her clinic in BGC called Center for Advanced Dentistry ( CAD ).  Up to today that is what she does for models, artists and for people who want to have a perfect smile.    Imagine a job where you make people smile beautifully?  She says that what makes a person beautiful ( physically) is their smile so it’s very important to have beautiful teeth so you can smile properly and correctly.

Dr. Lito Librado, Dr. Nelda Valencia – Eufemio and her sister Dr. Mia Valencia -Angeles

DENTAL VENEERS are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of the teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth to improve their size, shape, color and length.

This will give you that smile you’ve always wanted…A total smile make-over…Truly amazing!
The winning smile. There is living proof of that winning smile and that is the smile of Ms. Universe herself, Pia Wurtzbach.  Have you ever wondered how she won the second time around?
A Winning Smile Makes a Universe of Difference (2)A Winning Smile Makes a Universe of Difference (1)

CAD has invisible braces called Invisible Alignment ( Invisalign.) The ultimate dental cosmetic procedure is called veneers to have white and beautiful teeth. CAD does this the best and you need to make sure it’s done correctly or else you will have to repeat the two hour procedure.  Ninety percent of CADs clients are from all over the world because in the United States it costs ten times the price and they even get their veneers from the laboratories here.  She said it needs personal attention so she doesn’t want to really have so many chairs. She went to UCLA and USC and goes every year to continue learning in Germany. That’s why she’s advanced and has the latest equipment. She has a magic drill that makes less noise which makes the patient less anxious.  She has computer assisted anesthesia system.  She is now a very successful Cosmetic dentist. Being a cosmetic dentist takes a lot of time and personal attention and dealing with the special needs of each patient which is why she told me that she has to work with two other partners who help her with the procedures.

I was smiling from beginning til end – from reuniting with my gradeschool best friend and catching up to seeing teeth…… teeth….. teeth….. and finding out how important it is to always smile …. and smile beautifully.  So, check your teeth and make sure you smile beautifully if not … make sure to visit Dr. Eufemio  – She makes me smile definitely.  Look for Dr. Nelda Eufemio and she will take care of you call 09178120625 or landline 4789275.  Visit http://www.cfadentistry.com/ to learn more!
