Of course Bea is so pretty, because she is the sister of my good friends, Trina! and  Tisa who is not in the photo.  I kept insisting that we eat here so finally Trina and Paolo took us so we could try it out

Building Global Friendships and the 6 Lessons I Learned When I was 11

By | Education, For kids | 2 Comments

 Heart2Heart is a believer in having as many extra curricular activities for the kids aside from their daily school routine.  Thanks to CISV for expanding the horizons of young children at the age of 11 years old and giving them the experience of travelling, training the kids to be more independent and having the chance to meet people from different parts of the world.  I featured my friends’ kids last January 

Previous entry:   CISV January 18, 2012

And here is a TEDx video of one of the kids, Enrique Chuidian, who talked last December.  Congratulations Enrique!!!!

Breakfast at the Peninsula Hotel

By | Foodie | One Comment

We were jet lagged when we arrived from New York and we were awake at 4am!  We decided to have breakfast at the Manila Peninsula as we figured hotels would be open 24 hours!  We were the only ones in the hotel at that time! 🙂

We arrived a few days before Easter which explains the decoration in the lobby

Mom wanted the Japanese breakfast but they said that the Japanese chef has not yet reported to work. Hmmm…  So she had the Filipino Breakfast
