Congratulations on the christening of Alejandra!!! We are so happy for you Juan Miguel and Pia!! We were so glad to have been part of the celebration, good thing Ninong Suharto could not make it! 🙂
Loved the beautiful set up
Three generations from Tita Kitchi, Pia and Alejandra
Pia’s brother in law, Popoy, prepared 8 flavours of Gourmet ice cream! He even built an ice cream cart for the occasion! He calls it Happy Creamery and he told me that he has experimented and concocted 30 flavours already and he just brings it to the family gatherings. I heard he will be offering this soon to the public!
For the celebration, he had coffee with dark chocolate, Strawberry Manchego cheesecake, Honey Lavender, Vanilla for the kids, Creme Brûlée, Green Tea with dark chocolate, Chocolate truffle and Butterscotch pecan
Toppings buffet!!!
And a dessert buffet
Put together by Michelle Teves of Coco Cakes – most of them she made and the others were taken from other bakers like Mara dela Rama Poblete of for the Gateau de Crepes

I was so happy to celebrate the 13th birthday of Quinto that day. How fast time flies!
Quinto and his friends came from school and they had some snacks at the V & A and just hung out in the courtyard. They will all be graduating and will be going to different boarding schools around the UK
It’s always a prim and proper celebration whether in Manila or in London 🙂
We went to the Brompton Oratory afterwards for prayers and blessings. They had dinner afterwards for some steak 🙂

More collage classes 🙂
Squeeze some creative fun into your life.
THE ART OF COLLAGE
Classes begin on June 7, Saturday.
For info: tootsmagsino@gmail.com; 0920-9647913
My good friend, Toots, is so creative! She is the collage Queen 🙂 She does this as a hobby and a profession as she is an artist 🙂 Collage is not just an art piece, you can apply it to many things like this gift bag for example 🙂 Toots made this for me and gave it to me for my birthday 🙂 It’s so personalised because she knows I like pink. It’s a bag that’s so pretty I used it again and passed it on to another dear friend of mine and I am sure she will reuse it again
Not only does Toots have classes, she can organise a Collage party!!!! What a grand idea!!!
My batch mate Lally, arrived from Canada, so instead of just having a dinner, the get together was made into a Collage party
This is how each of them described the party 🙂 It’s interesting what Art can bring out and what it can do to you. It’s not only a work of art, it’s not only the act of making something, but read on to see what they have to say
According to Clarissa, they each had to explain what their work was about – The Collage they had to make was – Where you are now and where you want to be in the future. Here are the finished works of the group
She even had personalised giveaways for each participant
