Build A Classroom Project by AC Batch ’87

By | For kids, Giving Back, Velada 2012 | 3 Comments

In a few months, we will be having our Velada!!  One of our batch initiatives aside from raising money for the school and the mission schools of the school, is to go outside and do our own charity work and with the help of my best friend and our batch mate, Eds Genuino, we were able to get sponsorship from Tito Frank Drilon who built a classroom in our behalf.  Around 6 months ago, we went to Katutubo Elementary school

By | Travel, Yummy! | 3 Comments

Timmy and I got to taste supposedly “THE BEST CHICHARON in PAMPANGA!” 🙂  

laman-chicharon-01.jpglaman-chicharon-02.jpg

This furniture maker gave us some and wow, it had a lot of laman! Deadly but yummy!  I am not a chicharon expert but it was good.  I had our friend deliver some so I could share it with you.  They don’t deliver to Manila so I had 10 packs delivered last night and if you are passing by to pick up some buko sherbet

The Best Buko Sherbet May 31, 2012 

at the store, you might want to try some Pampanga Chicharon! It’s only P 295.00 for the bag you see below.  They sent us a different one with less fat so it won’t be as unhealthy as the other one!

Design For Our Living Room

By | Homes and Interiors | 6 Comments

When we moved into our house last December, we moved all our old furniture and spread it around the house.  We kept everything and used them.  This was our living room when we moved in

img_0825.JPGimg_0826.JPG

Then After Christmas we removed the Christmas Tree and the leather couch and moved it to the basement

We made the living room like a gallery in the meantime that we are searching for the pieces that will fit the living room.  Aside from the expense to put up the whole living room, we are hoping to find the pieces slowly and find the ones we like

This is the photo of the old living room which is Oriental and a Ramon Antonio look in the 70’s

My friend Rachelle insists that the look should be Ralph lauren.  She brought this magazine and told me to go for this theme.  I would also like to get more ideas on what look we should have for our living room…if you have any ideas, please share them with me and email your pegs to ricadejesus@mac.com.  After a few weeks, i will post them here 🙂  I would love to hear from you!!!
