Congratulations Richwell Trading on the opening of the first Barbie Store in the Philippines!  It was a private event for special friends and customers. I have such high respects for Mrs. Yao and her family who I met while I was still working in Rustan’s department store.  And now her daughters are slowly taking over and running the business – Mae who I just met and Liza who I have known for a long time.  More power to you!!!

Happy Birthday Iya

By | Celebrations, Fashion, Foodie | 5 Comments

Happy Birthday Christina!! I watched this girl grow up for almost 20 years!  She has had a few names since then – Chrissy and now Iya but I cannot seem to get used to calling her Iya

Christina is the daughter of one of my good friends, and one of our most loyal managers, Brenda, who has been working with the family

Chrissy celebrated with her close friends and family

A cute giveaway which is a scent which she created – she wants to one day have her line of beauty products and fragrances

 A very strong lady – a go getter!  She told me a long time ago that she wanted to be a model – she was still in high school then

Pursuing Her Dreams

By | Beauty, Fashion | No Comments

 During the launch of SM Aura, I bumped into Mariza as she was modelling for a perfume brand in SM

Previous Entry:  Launch of SM Aura May 17, 2013 

 You could not miss her as she really stood out!  She was standing by the ribbon cutting ceremony and waiting for Sarah Jessica Parker to arrive 🙂

 I featured her several times here in Heart2Heart and through those years she has grown up so much and has had plenty experience.

VDay is also Family Day Feb 14, 2011 

Pictorial Session December 15, 2009 

Mariza, Mig, Nic and Iya April 28, 2009 

Now she has been so busy modelling all over the place! She told me several years back that she wanted to be a model.  Many young girls want and dream to be models and nowadays it is very competitive with many many pretty young girls out there.  

Mariza pursued that dream and is now one! I am so happy and proud of her!
