Sandy continues to be in our hearts and in our lives as she spreads the word about dengue and how to protect ourselves from becoming a victim. Sandy’s family are keeping her spirit alive through their recently launched project – The Sandy Project. Sharing it hear in Heart2Heart and I am asking you to spread this to all your friends and family and especially to children so they can be aware of dengue

Yesterday, Sandy’s school gave a very beautiful tribute for her! I am so glad I took videos! I worked on this quickly so please bear with me. I hope it will still capture the essence of the event. Thank you Peaches for making me a part and making me cry with everyone else! Thank you for allowing me to document this wonderful tribute. You are truly blessed

Here are some photos which I will post as well from the video. It was my first time to visit MGIS Mahatma Gandhi International School. A very nice school with only around 150 students so approximately 10 per level. So almost everyone knows each other here 🙂 It’s an IB school
When I arrived in the school, I saw this poster!! The kids of Peaches are all champions in archery including Sandy!
Everyone gathered in the auditorium
Spearheaded by Headmistress Rebecca Warren
They prepared song numbers, slideshows and planted a beautiful tree in commemoration of Sandy
All the students hung messages for Sandy on the tree

February marks the season of love – what with St. Valentine inviting all of us to celebrate his feast right in the middle of the month. And while Valentine’s Day is not specifically a national holiday in the Philippines like Christmas is, it is evident that just as well, Filipinos enjoy giving gifts to loved ones on the day of hearts.
Be it a simple yet quirky Candy Time watch for a friend or a sibling, a piece of beautiful Meissen home décor for Mom, an exquisite Vacheron Constantin timepiece for Dad, or a stunning Loewe bag for your other half. Rustan’s makes it a point to have the perfect for anyone you have in mind this season of love.
Mom would love flowers, that’s for sure, but maybe not as much as she would love receiving gorgeous crystal and porcelain home accents from Rustan’s Home Department. Witness the exceptional collections from Bernardaud, Lladro, Lalique, Meissen and Crystal de Paris, and beautiful frames to display your loving memories offered by Lenox.
Young love? Or perhaps you just need a fun gift for a special friend? Choose from colorful and useful selections from the Rustan’s Young Contemporary Fashion. Choices are aplenty with brands like Loungefly, Paper Wallet, Candy Time, Manuel Gallardo and U.

The Men’s Department of Rustan’s also boast an impressive selection of gifts for Dad. With handsome accessories to complete his everyday office look from brands like Pedro del Hierro, The Tie Bar, Oleg Cassini and Ascot Chang. There are so much options, you may also decide to select gifts here for your boyfriend or husband.
Women are always the hardest to shop for, but not when you visit the Rustan’s Ladies Department. Necklaces and accessories from Natori, Carolee and GL Group, scarves from Echo and Sinequanone, shoes from Sergio Rossi and Christian Louboutin, and a plethora of handbag choices including picks from Lady Rustan, Coccinelle, Rafe, Rebecca Minkoff, Longchamp, and the newest addition to the Rustan’s family, Loewe.
If you wish to take it a step further, visit the Rustan’s Silver Vault and consider a pair of his and her watches from Bedat & Co., Vacheron Constantin or Piaget. There are also beautiful jewelry from Carrera y Carrera, Damiani, Roberto Coin, Tamara Comolli, Tiffany & Co., and Adami & Martucci. The magnificent collections will definitely bring endless smiles to everyone’s faces.

A year ago today, my batchmate’s daughter passed away because of dengue. Sandy was only 10 years old. Today Heart2Heart remembers Sandy. I wore pink today not only because I like pink but because Sandy liked pink too. When this happened last year, many people were asking me about it, so here is the story from her Father, Clint. And the beautiful wake all in pink
She’s the daughter of Clint and Peaches Martinez Aranas
Sharing the story written by Sandy’s father, Clint, which he shared during the wake last year
They had a beautiful wake for Sandy
Dengue is and has been rampant and we really need to be more aware on how we can prevent this deadly disease. Sharing herewith some tips which my batchmate Tisha shared with us. It’s meant for Austin Texas, but we can apply most of them here in the Philippines
And my tip is to always spray yourself with antimosquito spray and the best out there is Cadentia’s Antimosquito cologne which acts as a repellant at the same time keeps you smelling good and pleasant
