Poem written in the note of the father- composed b Troy Bernardo
El sueño de mi corazón
Hay una vez en el corazón de cada niña
cuando un sueño penetra la sombra
y se abre en una flor
tan luminosa como el sol.
Es un sueño donde ella se enamora de la vida
y de los otros sueños que ésta le brinda,
donde puede aferrarse a todo lo que cree
y ganarse su espacio en el mundo,
donde se convierte en la mejor persona que puede ser
y ayuda a los demás a conseguir lo mismo,
alegrándose del triunfo ajeno
y cosechando éxitos por su propio trabajo
y según su propio criterio,
donde tiene la libertad de amar y de ser amada,
donde ella misma puede ser amor,
y luz,
y verdad,
y donde puede vivir esa verdad.
Éste es su sueño.
También es el mío.
Porque ella es mi niña
Y nuestros corazones laten juntos.

The Dream of My Heart
Once in a little girl’s heart, a dream
Coming through the night,
opening up
in full blossom
as bright as the sun.
A dream where she falls in love with life
and the even grander dreams it has to offer.
Where she can stand up for what she believes in
and earn her place in the world.
Where she can be the best person she can be
and help others be the same,
rejoicing in the success of others
and being successful in her own terms,
using her own measure.
Where she is free to love and be loved.
Where she can be love,
be light,
and be her truth,
live her truth.
That is her dream.
It is mine.
For she is my little girl.
And her heart beats with mine.

MI SuEñO: A vision of every bride’s dream
The Philippines’ First Bridal Boutique Introduces
Ready-to-Wear European Designer Gowns
MAKATI CITY, PHILIPPINES – Mi Sueño Bridal Boutique, the country’s first, revolutionizes a new way of dressing the modern Filipino bride. By introducing ready-to-wear bridal fashion, it offers brides an unprecedented benefit: CERTAINTY. Combined with owner Pepper Periquet-Guanio’s unique setting and highly personalized service, Mi Sueño (‘my dream,’ in Spanish) is poised to attract brides who want to leave nothing to chance for their big day.
Brides and their gowns are the focal point of any wedding, and Mi Sueño was conceived to help brides guarantee perfection. Pepper Periquet-Guanio, a bride-to-be in 2006, had the opportunity to visit bridal boutiques in the United States and try on gowns from different designers and labels. “It was a fun and stress-free experience and I felt that the global trend of buying a ready-to-wear gown is an option that should be available to all Filipino brides,” she explains.
The boutique features an exclusive array of wedding gowns from leading European bridal houses in its private penthouse showroom. The imported gowns come in every cut and style imaginable to match each bride’s unique shape, personal style and preference. Details are impeccable, and fabrics are luxurious: Alecon lace, Mikado silk, Morbido tulle, Roman organza, Torino taffeta, and Sofia silk chiffon.
“There is a gown for every bride at Mi Sueño,” says Pepper. With intimate first-hand knowledge of the bride’s journey, Pepper gives each bride her personal attention, equally excited to find “the gown”
Custom-made vs. Ready-made
See, touch, and fit. That’s the advantage that ready-made has over custom-made gowns. Custom-made designs leave brides anxious, crossing their fingers that their gown will turn out as imagined. When it doesn’t, it’s too late to start over.
Mi Sueño gives brides the chance to try on various styles and silhouettes to discover the perfect fit for their figure and personality. “What you see is what you get – there is no second-guessing at Mi Sueño,” shares Pepper. “A bride has the advantage of ensuring how she will look on her big day, giving her a sense of confidence and allowing her to channel her energies to the other details involved in wedding planning.”
Ready-to-wear gowns have gained their popularity around the world because they leverage on ‘balanced proportions.’ These proportions produce visually pleasing and physically flattering silhouettes that work for a woman’s body and helps conceal natural albeit imperfect proportions. With the help of Pepper and her team, a bride’s measurements are taken and plotted against a chart to make sure the right size (from U.S. size 2 to 28) is ordered and the gown is especially made for the bride.
“Buying a ready-to-wear gown is a new concept in the country, but I believe the value of our gowns lies in the creativity of design, the quality of the materials, and workmanship,” says Pepper.
Launch Collection
Mi Sueño officially launches its concept boutique with a premier collection by Pronovias, the world’s leading bridal house and pioneer of bridal prêt-a-porter fashion. The Spanish brand is present in 75 countries around the world, and has featured collections from the likes of Valentino, Elie Saab, and Manuel Mota.
Pronovias gowns are crafted in Barcelona, Spain, and each collection is designed to appeal to classic and modern brides alike. Personalities that have donned Pronovias bridal gowns include American Idol’s Katherine McPhee, Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster, and Victoria Secret’s Doutzen Kroes.
Mi Sueño will also carry Atelier Diagonal, another label from the Pronovias Fashion Group, by first quarter 2012, expanding its collection for brides on slimmer budgets. Pronovias bridal gowns range from P65,000 – P185,000, while Atelier Diagonal gowns range from P40,000 – P70,000.
Mi Sueño allows viewing and fitting by appointment only, to ensure that the experience is personal and fun for each bride, her family, and friends. This also enables the Mi Sueño team to give each bride undivided attention, as the bride discovers which gown is her dream come true.
Mi Sueño Bridal Boutique is located at the Penthouse, The Athenaeum Building, 160 L.P. Leviste Street, Salcedo Village, Makati City. For appointments, please call telephone number 632-848-7277 to 78, or mobile +63917-81-SUENO (78366).
