I have been wanting to try this place eversince I saw it when we ate in Jalapeno ( Jalapeno Cantina Mexicana September 16, 2009 ). They are right beside each other.
Finally, almost a year after, we were in the area and tried it. Love love chicken wings!
Plenty napkins are provided in case you do use your hands 🙂
Signature Buffalo wings
Garlic Parmesan which is Heart2Heart’s favorite!
Sauce oozing 🙂
NY dirty rice – though I still prefer plain rice
The owner, Ed, gave us these Buffalo cheeseburgers, this is the mini version which comes in 3’s for only P 169.00
YUUUUMMMMMMY!!!!!!! Please open a Makati branch!!!

Previous Entry: Angel Brigade December 4, 2009
“Hi, Good evening. My name is Vicky, and I would like to thank you all for attending the Angel Brigade Photo Exhibit and Silent Auction Opening here at Rockwell. The opening remarks will be given by one of the volunteers of Angel brigade who never ceases to amaze me. She is Managing Director of Isdanco, she is a writer, plus she is a wife and she has four sons. She often says
“THE ANGELS ARE WITH US ALWAYS…TIME TO FLY”
And she would know, because she is an angel to many of us. One of the kindest people I know. Tisha Cruz- Bautista
From 5 volunteers to now 1,400!!
There was a display of food items which were the relief goods that were being donated last year
What was interesting was that Gaita turned all these relief goods into very elegant and very delicious cocktails! Gaita is so good at making something so simple and ordinary and making it so delicious and even elegant! Leave it to her to always think out of the box and come up with great ideas!
Tisha said that it was very short notice and of course Gaita is always willing to help a good friend, a good cause and always shares and shares – another ANGEL here on earth!
Gaita even printed the recipes and gave it as a giveaway for the event

The Furla Autumn Winter 2010-2011 collection is for an elegant and worldly woman. She’s an explorer, escaping from everyday life to exotic lands. She develops an emotional attachment, virtual memories of her travels.
Every detail becomes a tile in the mosaic of her mind. From the leopard print coat, to the reptile skin, to the colors of the stones and butterflies, the delicate tanning of leather, and the weaving in the upholstery fabric.
The new collection is comprised of illusions; repetitive digital techniques that create patterns or new surfaces.
In the early 1900’s, one of the great explorers, Freya Stark, sported zippered bags. These elegant silhouettes and feminine forms of yesteryear are transformed in the new collection, updated to be lightweight and functional. Moreover, her old travelling trunks were outlined by a cloth cover. This inspired Furla’s collection to include exterior layers. It’s a decorative and bold look. The virtual safari illuminates. Fluorescent flashes highlight the natural beauty of the deep and intense jewel tones.
Colours: onyx black, sand, clay brown, filler grey, musk green, red earth.
Materials: velvet effect calf leather, crocodile printed buffalo leather, Himalayan leopard printed pony skin, astrakhan.
A new elegance with a contemporary approach presents femininity as lived day by day with irony and cheerfulness.
Elegant silhouettes and feminine shapes designed to be both functional and stylish, plus ease and comfort have inspired Furla’s new shoe collection for autumn/winter 2010-2011.
Understated styles with sophisticated and classic shapes play on cuts and lengths while rubber bands give a modern edge to the shoes.
A casual-chic interpretation is obtained by the use of particular and gritty leathers like velvet effect calf leather, soft nappa leather, Himalayan leopard printed calfskin suede, crust leather and deer printed calfskin.
Sporty models are re-shaped in a sophisticated and feminine way. A tank sole characterizes boots, sandals to wear with stockings and booties in crust leather or deer. Details and astrakhan turn-ups on boots give a touch of frivolity.
Warm colours of the autumn permeate the whole collection and create a metropolitan look with echoes of emotions and memories of remote journeys.
In the Philippines, Furla is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, and Shangri-La Plaza Mall.

At Casa San Miguel is also the home of Elmer and Plet Borlongan. Plet is the sister of Coke
You cannot believe how thrilled we were to actually meet the famous Elmer Borlongan. We were hoping to get a souvenir from the famous couple but we all know that there is a long long waiting list to get Elmer’s works of art. Thank you for allowing me to share your home at Heart2Heart… It is a work of art in itself
A nice tree house under a mango tree!
How can you possibly put a price on these works of art of Elmer?? Even if you want to buy one, he will not sell them. Many beautiful works of art were all over the house, many of them from long ago and in his early days of painting
Love this painting of famous artists
Love love the kitchen!!!!
Cute Dr. Seuss on the couch 🙂
Painting of Plet by the dining room which really brightens up the place
Even the garden is so nice!!!!
Plet’s animal sculptures
Walkway going to the artists studios
Plet and Elmer have their own studios but there is a bridge that connect the two studios
Plet is also an artist! My Mom, my sister and I really really liked her works! Very lively, colorful and fun! Plet is busy preparing for a show which includes her sculptures – women and animals in the nude is her theme
And Elmer’s Studio which was off limits for my camera as he was preparing for his next show – so the works are not allowed to be published
Of course, everyone wants a photo with Elmer and Plet, Thank you for sharing your valuable works of art and your beautiful home with us. Hopefully next time, we can have your work of art as a souvenir 🙂 More power to you both!!
The most important part of the visit to Casa San Miguel ( Casa San Miguel Center for the Arts, Zambales Sept. 21, 2010 ) was to know more about what Coke does. The children of Casa San Miguel performed for us that day in their music hall and we were really all amazed. Do take time out to listen to the kids play. See the 5 videos below on their performance

We went to Subic a few weeks ago and this trip was exciting because Dad and Mom took us to Zambales which is about an hour away from Subic. We visited Casa San Miguel ( Casa San Miguel by Coke Bolipata Sept. 21, 2010 ) where the famous Coke Bolipata lives. Thanks Coke for having us as your guest. You have a beautiful place!
The entrance walls are in mosaic in case it is not seen well in my photo
Artists homes are always so “Artsy” 🙂
It was raining so just took a photo of the balcony from inside…beautiful tiles on the floor which my sister pointed out to me
Cute Kitchen
Thank you Coke for your warm reception and for the delicious merienda you prepared for us
