By | For kids, Sports, Tributes | One Comment

Last February, Javier joined a tennis tournament, the Coach Anthony Tordesillas Cup

Coach Anthony used to teach my nephew, Ramon and my two sons, Jaime and Javier, tennis. ( I am having a hard time looking for the photo with Coach Anthony and the kids )  He was a good friend of my brother in law, Mike.

He passed away a few years ago and this tournament was started by his brother, Roque Tordesillas.  Proceeds from the tournaments goes to a foundation to aid tennis players who cannot afford

Christmas at Educare

By | Educare, Giving Back | No Comments

We had our delayed Christmas gift giving at Educare a few weeks ago.  I normally do it early but  last year was just too hectic.  So better late than never 🙂  

Thank you to my friends, Maritoni and Triccie for the costumes which we gave to the kids

Touring White Plains

By | Green, Homes and Interiors, Shopping | 2 Comments

I had to go to the Katipunan area so I asked my friend, Ginge, for places I could check out on the way there and here are some places I was able to pass by in White plains.  

This place had a lot of Asian furniture and decorative items

The popular Bawai’s from Tagaytay is open in Manila and this is their branch




Further down is Earth Kitchen which Ginge said was quite good

and a Healthy organic store


I would have wanted to go inside this place 🙂  Pan de Amerikana which was an inverted house 🙂

I went to buy Basmati rice.  Tita Rose suggested this to us since Basmati rice apparently has a low glycemic level which is a better alternative for diabetics

One day I went home and Chef Javs let me try this Roast Pork belly.  It was so good!  

He told me that he bought it in Rustan’s San Antonio Plaza, Forbes Park!  So I went to check it out and here it is!!  It is being roasted in this oven

I wanted to see it so they opened the door 🙂

They put it on a plate so I could take a photo!  Only P 279.00 a piece!!!

So yummy! 🙂

Aha!  So this is the secret why we are eating here 🙂  We got 50% off the whole bill because Des had a Peninsula card!  Contact  Grace Saludega tel # 581-3355 or 812-3456 if you would like to apply for this card.  Please mention my friend, Des Torres.  She gets a free halo halo at the lobby for every referral 🙂

Everyone enjoyed the Thai food 🙂  Hotel quality food at half the price!  How can you beat that?

The BFFs, the Beautiful Friends Forever 🙂

I am always checking on what they are wearing and using.  It was an unwritten rule in Rustan’s that my Lola required us to patronise and promote Rustan’s products.  So I was amazed that until now even if most of us do not work in Rustan’s anymore, we still buy from the Rustan Group

Both Det and Lucille using Prada bags

Luzanne was wearing Debenhams but we thought it was Gucci 🙂  Good find Luzanne!  She’s always in good taste
