Last year, I had the chance to meet Cat Ilacad! Apparently she is a reader of Heart2Heart and it makes me happy 🙂 Cat is the owner and founder of Posh Nails which she started 11 years ago. She is successful now with 25 branches. This lady is AMAZING! She is also the daughter of the movie producer, Orly Ilacad.
She now started a new business concentrating on foot massage. She told me that many of her clients at Posh nails like to have foot massages 🙂 Her concept is a boutique hotel type place with different rooms which can accommodate groups and individual.
More power to you Cat!!!

Heart2Heart is so happy to meet Tita Carla Abreu-Lim of Sunny Bakeshop! I visited her at the Corinthian Gardens Clubhouse. Thank you Tita Reggie Aguinaldo Young for introducing Heart2Heart to Sunny Bakeshop and Tita Carla!
Tita Carla told me the story about how her mom, Lulu Campos Abreu, who started Sunny bakeshop in 1960! Her mom used to love baking and took baking lessons at the same time learned a lot from her mother in law. Tita Carla said that her Mom always had a bubbly and “sunny” disposition hence the name SUNNY Bakeshop 🙂 In the mid 80’s she closed the store in Dian St. and continued to sell from her home to friends and family. When Lulu Campos passed away, Tita Carla decided to continue the business. She told me that she believes in keeping the heritage and culture alive so as not to lose one’s identity. If she did not continue what her Mom was doing, she would have lost everything that was good and created by her Mom
The bakeshop is a very cute corner in the clubhouse of the Corinthian Gardens Village in Quezon City. It is a gated village but don’t worry, the guards will let you in the gate if you say you are picking up something from Sunny Bakeshop
This is like their commissary as well since all the baking is done here. There is no dining area but just a place to pick up the goodies. What a cute place!
Tita Carla pointed out that weighing scale on top of the shelf which is the one that her Mom used before
Articles on Sunny bakeshop all displayed on the wall
The original Mango Tarts which everyone tried copying. My mom keeps asking me about the pineapple stars! 🙂
One of their bestsellers, Vienna Wafers made out of casuy. The casuy they use comes from a livelihood for women in El Nido. It’s a foundation that gives back so not only are you eating yummy vienna wafers, you are helping the women of Palawan.
Tita Carla said that aside from all the original recipes of Sunny Bakeshop, she added the salty food items 🙂
Chorimada – Chorizo ensaymada in bite sizes. They also have the original ensaymada
This is my FAVORITE!!! Cheesesticks!! I buy these in boxes from New York and now I can have them fresh and made in the Philippines!!! YUM! I highly recommend this very yummy cheese breadstick
It’s made out of Pecorino cheese!
Garlic Ham rolls! They used to make this with spam but now they replaced it with ham and garlic for a better alternative. Beside it is the mini chorizo rolls! YUMMY TOO!!
There were no cinnamon rolls available that day I visited so I just took a photo! But they are known for this too!!!
Always best to call in advance for your orders so they are freshly made 🙂 You can have a party already by just ordering everything from Sunny Bakeshop!
Have a SUNNY DAY!! and ALWAYS KEEP SMILING:-)

We were so happy to meet up with Raul, cousin of James! He was also in the USA helping his daughter settle down for school. We accompanied him to buy the mattress which Mia wanted. So Raul came from Brooklyn and we met up. Mia wanted a specific mattress – futon – which was available only in Miya Shoji in New York! [wp_youtube]XmO1kaNi3as[/wp_youtube]
The shop really sells furniture- Japanese chests, tatami and tables and Japanese screens. Happy to meet the owners- Father Hisao and son Zui. Miya Shoji means temple carpenter so they make furniture using the old Japanese way without any nails! They assemble the furniture without nails Petrified Wood Coffee table US$ 12,000 If I am not mistaken this is a 300 year old stone – US$ 8,000 for this one! US$ 80,000 for this beautiful table More beautiful pieces of wood ready to be made into furniture Futon is just an accessory they sell with the tatami. Papa Raul happy to grant the request of Mia and make sure she sleeps comfortably 🙂 Click below to go to their website for more info [email_link]
Ana is so lucky to have friends like these!!! It’s amazing what they have done for her – such true and wonderful friends! I was not able to go to the event last Saturday but thank you to Sari Reyes Jorge for sharing the photos! Sari told me that Ana still needs all the prayers she can get especially today as she will be undergoing surgery, hopefully to avoid having a liver transplant. Please please continue to pray for Ana! Thank you to all those who helped in small and big ways! From Sari Reyes Jorge Well done to everyone who helped support Ana’s fundraiser! We can’t thank everyone enough. The funds that are raised can help Ana worry about getting healthy – spiritually and physically – Thank you Pastor Jonathan for leading our prayers for healing! [email_link]
