Legazpi Sunday Market

By | Foodie | One Comment

Two weeks ago Mom dragged me with her to the Legazpi market.  We went so early, there were many booths still closed or setting up.  We stayed a short while and I was able to take a few photos

There was a section on the side which was all grilling – I was curious to try this and took home some and my boys said it was good


Very sweet lychees!

 This suman was good – it had leche flan inside – mom bought some for James

Cute aprons 🙂

Julie Mercer stressed the importance of getting the right size for the underband that it should fit snugly around the rib cage

 Plunge bra shape is recommended for Asian women with smaller frames to accentuate their breast shape

Post surgery bra range was recently launched by Marks and Spencer for women who have undergone surgery for their breasts

Happy Birthday DVT

By | Celebrations, Tributes | One Comment

A Heart2Heart favorite, Donnie Tantoco

He’s all over here in Heart2Heart-in our family gatherings, in Rustan’s events, in the look alike feature 🙂

lookalikes4.jpglook-alikes-part-3-07-custom.jpg

Today is his special day and Heart2Heart wants to pay tribute to a very special guy!

A graduate from Northwestern University and when he came back he put up Royal Duty Free Shops in Subic and Clark.  Afterwhich he put up Shopwise with our Lolo.   He now also runs Rustan’s Supermarket and Wellcome.

He is so famous and so successful yet he is so humble and not overbearing and that is what makes him different from many.  He never brags about his accomplishments – and when you congratulate and praise him, he will divert the attention back to you or he will even pass it on and give credit to someone else  

See him in one of the latest issues of Rockwell.      

 happy-birthday-dvt-1.jpghappy-birthday-dvt-2.jpg

He loves his people and they love him back 

dvt-2.jpg

especially the girls! haha!!  

Because he treats them like how he treats us – like his family

I love the latest tribute he made to one of the managers at Shopwise – Bim Generoso – who recently passed away

dvt-4.jpgdvt-on-bim-generoso.jpgbim-generoso-with-dvt.jpg

He is very religious and even if he is so busy, you will see him in Church as a lay minister

In my previous feature of their home, he added this section by their bedroom which I really really love!

He is a loving husband to Crix – Many girls would agree with me and say that Crickette is so lucky to have him! ( and of course vise versa but it’s not Crix bday today haha ).

Father of three wonderful children

Very fit at 47! He does 1,000 (maybe more ) jump ropes everyday 

dvt-3.jpgdonnie-and-twins.JPG

He and Lolo Benny are like bestfriends – like father and son.  They are so alike in many ways.  Aside from having the same name, They are both smart, they are both so generous and kind and they do their best to please everyone….especially the Tantoco women! 🙂

He is known to us as Manong Donnie 🙂 being the eldest grandchild in the family.  Many would think that there is no perfect guy – Intelligent, hardworking, so kind, so generous, so sweet, so handsome, so religious and faithful all rolled into one. But for sure there is one in our family, our Manong Donnie! Happy Birthday to our big brother! We love you!
