It is thanks to a small crystal mouse, created in 1976, that tens of thousands of people in over 125 countries now celebrate their love of crystal! Last May 6 2017, the Swarovski Crystal Society celebrated its 30th anniversary in the Philippines at Rustan’s Makati. Many crystal enthusiasts, some who have been members since the very beginning, gathered together to witness the beauty of the special edition pieces.
Every five years the Swarovski Crystal Society (SCS) celebrates an anniversary. For each of these anniversaries, the SCS has launched a special Jubilee Edition commemorating the occasion and 2017 is no exception. 
The SCS Jubilee Edition Swans is an exquisite tribute to this noble bird and its offspring, symbolizing a sense of belonging to the Swarovski Family. Swans have always been part of the Crystal Creations assortment, but Swarovski has never created a swan with cygnets for SCS before.
This family scene represents the strong and enduring connection between the mother and her babies. Martin Zendron designed this family to be a symbolic thank you to the loyal crystal lovers, who have been following Swarovski perhaps since the very beginning of SCS, or at least for a long period of time.
The SCS Annual Edition 2017 also pays tribute to the bear mother, a strong and powerful yet caring and protective animal, executed in crystal with 925 facets. 
The Bear Arcadia sparkles in Sunray, a stunning new crystal color developed to mark the 30th anniversary of the SCS, which reveals a beautiful warmth when the sun shines through it. One paw is engraved with the name Arcadia, the Swarovski logo, the designer Martin Zendron’s initials, and the year of issue 2017. Display this breathtaking piece together with the SCS Bear Cubs to create a delightful family scene.
Members of the Swarovski Crystal Society were able to enjoy the privilege of celebrating with the brand and purchasing the special edition, exclusively available to them. The highlight of the event was the awarding of seven loyal SCS members namely, Eddie Chua, Teresita Rosario and Janyka Villacorta,
Shirley Ng,
Dr. Edward L. Fereira and Neil Fereira
Ronald Uy, Loris Luakian, and Eleanore Go
Become a member of the SCS and choose from either one year or three years membership. After this time, the membership will automatically expire unless otherwise extended. Regardless the length of membership chosen, collectors can look forward to a number of exclusive benefits and advantages only available to SCS members, like complimentary issues of Swarovski Magazine and annual crystal membership gifts.
Swarovski is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-la, Gateway, Alabang and Cebu.
Every year for the past 23 years we celebrate Lola’s anniversary in heaven and her birthday. How beautiful what Fr. Caluag @titocaluag said about what an anniversary is about and how he linked it to Pentecost. “Anniversaries is remembering. Anniversaries we remember that which we celebrate. Every time we remember, we Keep alive that which we remember. And today we remember the graces that Tita Glecy had channeled into the family’s life and channeled to the thousands of lives who somehow with her own work in her lifetime have affected these lives. We remember the gift of the spirit. Remember when the Lord left this world, he’s final gift was the spirit. And it was the spirit that would help his friends continue the mission that he came for and the mission he somehow shared with his friends “
“The Spirit of the Risen Lord brings peace, as was the first greeting of Christ in today’s Gospel. Peace, as all spiritual mentors would say, is always a sign of the good spirit, the Spirit of the Risen Lord. It is the peace that helps us move away from the negative, from the clutches of the evil spirit, and regain our equilibrium to open our hearts, minds and souls again to the mission entrusted to us by the Risen Lord.” 
Like Lola and Like our Lord, we keep alive their spirit by continuing their mission which they shared while they were with us. How beautiful to remember our loved ones and keep them alive not only in our hearts but by continuing their mission – the good they have shared or imparted to us #h2hreligious #H2Hquotes#h2hcelebrations#H2HChannelofBlessing
I’m happy to announce that as of today, Boy Samson @boyfsamson will not be undergoing surgery. Many of you know him but for those who don’t, Boy is a loyal employee of Rustan’s Supermarket and has served ( and continue to ) many customers through the years. Thanks to God for watching over him. 
For some reason last Thursday I received a text from a common friend of Boy – Bambi Reyes Javelosa @bambi_linkedge – and so I found out about his condition. First instinct was to ask the family to help raise funds. So I announced it to the family only to get the best advice which was to send him to Dr Sta. Cruz ( because touching the prostate is very dangerous ) and with the help of Jackie @jackie_plomantes1206 saw him immediately that day. Boy was accompanied by his wife and daughter
Dr. Sta. Cruz and his son Dr. Miko was with him for 5 hours doing tests.
Apparently, Dr Sta Cruz is known for non surgical treatment of the prostate. Was it coincidence that Boy’s surgery was postponed that day and moved to June 8? No it’s not! Dr. Sta. Cruz will try to cure him without operating! Alleluia!!!! And he tells me he will help Boy at no cost – because of my Lolo ! I want to cry!!!! All this happened because God worked thru different “channels of blessing” ( Ty to Lills @lilliannmgmailcom for this term ) from Bambi, to me thru my titas, thru lolo and dr Sta Cruz
I told Dr. Sta Cruz I wanted to blog him and just that day his new website was up, visit https://www.drestacruzprostate.com Many people from all over the world go to him for treatment. Almost 20 years ago my Lolo flew him to the States to treat him and he’s living proof of his healing powers. I’m sharing this story as proof of God working through many channels of blessings. We all are and sometimes we unconsciously don’t know that God is using us/you to do things for Him in this world. In small & big ways. That is our mission in life – to do what God has in store for us – our mission – His mission. Celebrating Pentecost today when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a sign for the apostles to continue his mission ! #h2hreligious #H2Hquotes #h2hhealth#H2HChannelofBlessing #h2hrustans#h2hdoctors #H2HPeople
Dr. Sta Cruz can also help couples who have a hard time having a baby

Enjoyed very much our 4 weeks bonding. Our last stop was at the Univ of Pennsylvania. They say that in a marriage it’s “Give & Take” – Heart2Heart says it’s “Give”! 🙂 I believe that it’s more of the giving – the unconditional kind of giving without expecting anything in return- if you want your marriage to work. This was a trip where we were really alone – no kids, no parents, not many socials and commitments, so we had a lot of alone time. We did the laundry together ( haha! ) we cooked and washed dishes and the hubby always helped with chores without me asking – he never let me do it alone. I swam for my exercise & therapy and he swam with me instead of his usual gym. He drove me when I needed a ride, took me to the doctor and he watched my tv show with me without complaining. I let him choose the restaurants, I accompanied him to his seminar and whenever he needed company. We are nearly going to celebrate our 25th anniversary yet there’s still a long way ahead of us and it’s a journey that I want to keep with a lot of LOVE so there will have to be a lot of giving 🙂 – not material things – but unconditional giving from the heart #h2hny #H2HPennsylvania2017#h2hnyc2017 #h2hquotes
EO Dinner at Distrito @distritophl
Distrito is a vibrant celebration of the culture and cuisine of Mexico City with a menu focused on the diverse street foods served in what is known by locals as the Distrito Federal (D.F.). Distrito Tacqueria is our first-floor casual eatery featuring an approachable menu by Chef Jose Garces. Distrito offers a full bar featuring signature margaritas, over 250 tequilas and beer towers festooned with sugar skulls holding over 128 ounces of beer. The second-level dining room is a lively backdrop for Chef Garces’ modern Mexican small plates. Styled in pinks and greens, the restaurant features more than 600 hanging masks of Mexico’s Lucha Libre – and a four seat booth fashioned from an authentic VW Beetle, the official taxi cab of the D.F.
ABOUT CHEF GARCES
Since opening his first restaurant in 2005, Chef Jose Garces has emerged as an enormous talent and one of the nation’s most gifted chefs and restaurateurs. Today, he is the owner and operator of more than a dozen restaurants across the country, plus a thriving event planning division and 40-acre Luna Farm. He is a 2009 winner of the James Beard Foundation’s prestigious “Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic” award and one of only a few chefs in the country to hold the coveted title of Iron Chef. Chef Garces is also the author of two cookbooks, The Latin Road Home (Lake Isle Press, October 2012), a culinary and cultural tour of Ecuador, Spain, Mexico, Cuba and Peru, and his stunning first cookbook, Latin Evolution (Lake Isle Press, Fall 2008).

LONGCHAMP presents the latest version of the PÉNÉLOPE tote, both casual and luxurious.
With its trapezoid shape, raw edging and topstitched handles, the PÉNÉLOPE line features models of rare elegance that fuse the hottest sporty-chic designs with LONGCHAMP’s time-honoured leather craftsmanship. And for a touch of feminine charm, the timeless tote features sophisticated details, contrasted leather in the dual-material version and some darling tassels.

properties – Waterfront Pavilion Hotel & Casino Manila, Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino, Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino, and Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao – assures a comfortable stay in any of its rooms and suites.
All of the well-appointed accommodations are equipped with every manner of creature comfort such as plush beds, handsome furnishing, tasteful details and decor, a large flat-screen TV with cable connection, and free Wi-Fi to provide a most exceptional leisure and business experience.
Correspondingly, Waterfront Hotels is beefing up its in-house food and beverage amenities in all four properties to give gourmets and foodies alike a wide array of culinary choices to indulge the appetite and satisfy cravings for excellent food. 
The properties are likewise equipped with other important facilities such as spacious ballrooms and conventions centers for private functions and business seminars, business centers, executive lounges for those staying the executive suites (at the Waterfront Manila and Cebu hotels), swimming pools for children and adults, and a gym for the health- and fitness-conscious.
Being truly at the “center of it all”, the four Waterfront hotels are conveniently situated in locations that are easily accessible to business, entertainment, leisure and cultural destinations in the cities they are in.
Waterfront Pavilion Hotel & Casino in Manila is located near the central business district of Manila, the US Embassy and government agencies which are easily accessible. It is also a short ride away to the commercial areas of downtown Manila and Chinatown in Ongpin Street. Adjacent to Rizal Park, it is situated close to such historic and cultural destinations as the National Museum and National Library, the walled city of Intramuros, the Cultural Center of
the Philippines complex, and the quaint Malate district. The hotel offers superb international and home-grown culinary treats at Seasons, and mouth-watering pastries and excellent coffee at the Patisserie.
Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino is cradled in a lush garden right at the nerve center of Cebu’s commercial and leisure district. A few minutes away from the Cebu IT Park and Ayala Center, it is an ideal place for business seminars or brief meetings. The hotel boasts of 7 dining outlets that give diners a wide array of scrumptious choices — Uno (international buffet and a la carte menu), Mizu (Japanese), La Gondola (Italian), Tin Gow (Chinese), Treff (bar snacks, spirits and liqueurs), Madeleine (fresh-from-the-oven pastries, coffee and tea) and the Lobby Lounge (local and international a la carte menu). The Pool Aquarius, located at the center of the swimming pool, offers a great assortment of international refreshments and snacks. It also has 9 function rooms and 2 grand Ballrooms.
Just a stone’s throw away from the Cebu International Airport in Mactan, Waterfront Airport Hotel and Casino in Lapu-Lapu City is the perfect hotel for business travelers on the go. Here, they can simply walk out of the airport, hold their meetings or seminars in any of the hotel’s function rooms, and leave on the next flight out. But for those who wish to stay longer and experience the beauty and excitement of Mactan Island, the hotel is the best jump-off point to the numerous white-sand beach resorts lining the coast. It is also near the exclusive Cebu Yacht Club and the Mactan Economic Processing Zone (MEPZ). The hotel serves fine culinary selections at Uno (international buffet and a la carte menu), Lobby Lounge (Filipino and international ala carte menu), and Verandah (light snacks and refreshments, Filipino and international ala carte menu).
Picturesque Waterfront Insular Hotel Davao faces the Davao Gulf and makes an ideal setting for family vacations, reunions, a romantic honeymoon, or even a corporate convention that mixes business with pleasure. It is also just a few minutes away from Davao City’s burgeoning commercial and business district where SM Lanang and the SMX Covention Center are located. In the hotel, guests can have their fill of flavorsome gastronomic delights in the hotel’s many F&B outlets – Café Uno (breakfast and lunch buffet, and all-day ala carte menu)
Pizzaiolo (an array of variations on the pizza, freshly-baked cakes and pastries, and ala carte menu), La Parilla (grilled seafood and barbecues), and Vinta Bar (cocktail drinks and bar).
Evolving and innovating with the changes in the hospitality and tourism industries, and the demands of new lifestyles, the enhanced facilities and services at the 4 Waterfront hotels exemplify a concerted and conscious move to be at the front and center of a luxurious and memorable vacation and business experience.
Super happy to visit our friend Vanessa Villar Viterbo @docv3 who is a Family Medicine doctor in Pennsylvania ! She has her own clinic in a cozy house in Maryland with her partner Bonnie for 12 years already. She loves clowns 🙂 and has a collection of clowns from her patients. I wish we had Family medicine doctors in Manila. They basically are your main doctor and they take care of you and know everything about your health and if needed they will refer you to a specialist if needed. But they will monitor all your medical needs. So if you are in the area, be assured there is a good doctor in the area- super sweet and super nice – Doc triple V – Vanessa ! #H2HPeople#h2hdoctors #H2HHealth#H2HPennsylvania2017
