Congratulations to my beautiful, smart, loving and sweet hijada, Daniella!  How fast time flies, I can’t believe she is already going to College!  She was accepted in all the schools she applied to and she chose to go to THE Ateneo 🙂 which made her Lolo Jun very happy

My sister, Maricar, is the one now designing all the decors and set ups of the Rustan’s Flower shop.  I love the terrariums, the birdcages and the crystals on the lamps all from Rustan’s Flower Shop

Since I am always the first to arrive at events,  I am able to scout the place 🙂  The cocktails at the Presidential Suite is always so good!

Skin Illumination as Never Before

By | Beauty, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

I attended a workshop of Rustan’s for La Prairie

Organized by the beautiful ladies of the Cosmetics and Toiletries division of Rustan’s – JC Festin and Cessie Colayco.  My Lola made sure that all the managers of Rustan’s were all pretty and presentable to represent the store and for the Cosmetics Division they have to be pretty and have beautiful skin 🙂  Until now that standard is kept

Debra Klaproth from La Prairie flew over to conduct the workshop

Bambee’s Juicer

By | Foodie, Green | 2 Comments

In one of our velada meetings, my good friend, Bambee, introduced me to her Hurom juicer.  She claims that it’s the best juicer in town!  and probably the most expensive too! 🙂

It’s available in Rustan’s department store!

She made one of her juice recipes for us

And here she is about to dunk the first cucumber and very happy to serve us healthy drinks 🙂

It separates the pulp from the juice

The pulp she says she still uses them by making them into cakes or other pastries

Happy Birthday Osquito

By | Celebrations, Foodie | 3 Comments

My friend, Bambi, always invites me and she makes sure she invites me way way in advance that sometimes I actually forget to put it in my calendar.  Yet I know she will not take it against me because she is my true friend 🙂  My hijado Osquito ( named after grandpa Oscar ) was celebrating his  first birthday so Mommy Bambi prepared a feast for the family.  She cooked everything ( except the arroz caldo and lechon)

One of her specialties, lengua!  Wow, this was wiped out the first!  She sent this to us for Christmas too and was much appreciated

Oh plus the lechon which flew in from Bacolod – and she made sure we got first and served us the skin.  Oh boy 🙂

 Bambi’s eldest son, Gigz, with Osquito my cute hijado!  I told her that Gigz is very handsome and is a Gary V in the making 🙂  And true enough she told me that he has been asked already to join showbiz! 🙂
