Javier Loves The Red Crab

By | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

Javier loves crabs!  And whenever Mom asks him to choose a restaurant, he always chooses RED CRAB!

On his birthday last year, we went here again

They offer so many kinds of ways of cooking for the crab.  They are all YUMMY!!  Problem is they are all fried!  So i asked the waited which one is not fried, and he said that they can just steam one for me so that is what I ordered!

Getting ready for the crab

I actually got some of the garlic from this prawn dish and used it for my crab

Here is my steamed crab which was just as good without all the garnishings!  YUMMY!!  But of course I chose the female which probably negated the healthiness of the steamed crab

Daddy loves crab too!

Thanks Tita Pam for the birthday cake!

Mission Its Possible

By | Celebrations, For kids | 6 Comments

Many years ago, I told janet that she should be a party organizer!  I am so happy that she is one now!

Educare Celebrates Halloween October 20, 2008 

A Wacky Sports Double Birthday Bash  March 8, 2009

Educare Celebrates Easter April 11, 2009 

I recently hired Janet to organize a small party for Javier’s birthday.  He wanted to just spend time with his friends so I thought that something supervised would be better than just them trying to figure out what to do or they might just end up playing videogames. 

mission-its-possible-03.jpg

Janet will work with you on what your kids like and she will create a unique and one of a kind experience for the kids.  She is really amazing!  She is for me a “boutique” party planner because she will really taylor the whole party of your child

I heard she did a 39 Clues party for our friend Nicole so I thought that something similar to that Javier would like because he is very playful and needs to keep moving around!  So we did  a Mission Impossible theme taken from Tom Cruise’s movie 🙂

She even made the invite for me!

While waiting for the kids to arrive, they had some snacks and they had to make it themselves! 🙂 

mission-its-possible-041.jpgmission-its-possible-01.jpgmission-its-possible-02.jpg

Janet turned our basement into a lab!  After eating they did some science experiments which they really enjoyed

Janet’s super loveable and cute son Joshua, helped his Mom and is part of the team!

Then they had to train for the mission.  With the help of Janet’s husband, N.E.D., he was in charge of training the kids and preparing them for the mission

 The kids were grouped by 4s and were sent out on a mission to look for the treasure.  Each clue led to another until they accomplished the mission

The treasure!!!

And were give some gadgets as their giveaways

Chinese New Year 2012 From Dunhill

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

Chinese New Year 2012 – The Year of the Dragon  

Alfred Dunhill present a range of products to mark the Chinese New Year and year of the Dragon.  Those born under this Chinese zodiac symbol are considered to inspire confidence and as such Alfred Dunhill have created pieces with this spirit in mind.  The collection comprises of cufflinks, a key fob and ties.

A polished sterling silver Dragon Key Fob boasts an intricately carved dragon attached to a Alfred Dunhill branded chain with a choice of karabiner or ring clasp.  Exclusively designed by Alfred Dunhill, the authentic Chinese dragon is also depicted on sterling silver cufflinks, each exquisitely detailed and hand finished.  A pure silk tie in bold red, pale blue or pink subtly portrays a repeat dragon motif and is hand stitched from a single piece of silk.

The dragon sign is associated with bravery, honesty, pride and self-sufficiency.  Dragons are irrepressible free spirits and enjoy grand gestures and ambitions.
