Thank you to Arnold and Ginge for inviting us and for allowing Heart2Heart to share your beautiful home. Ginge told me that their family business is furniture making. So they can make any furniture to your specifications. Your parents did a good job in building your home….It’s beautiful. It is perfect for a perfect and beautiful family whom we admire. Though you guys live so far from us, we hope to spend more time with you…as we enjoy your company.

Family Room
Master Bedroom – Ginge told me that she put the computers in their room so they can monitor their children- she calls it a call center 🙂
There is a glass window in their room where Daddy can look down by the entrance of the house and see the guys dating his three girls…so when they take the girls home, he can check and make sure that the guys cannot go beyond that area 🙂 
Girls room
Marco’s room, more of his playroom because he sleeps with Daddy and Mommy 🙂
And their own home gym! WOW!! This is really a room dedicated for workouts and it is used daily by Arnold and Ginge
What a clean and organized garage! Doc, you must be OC! and why are you covering your car? 🙂
This proves that Doc Arnold is a very neat person not only at home but in the operating room 🙂

We have not been to Newton and Michelle’s house in a long time – only because they live quite far from us. But it was so nice to visit again their beautiful home. It is nine years old but has been maintained very well.
Newton’s abode….TV room, bar and party room 🙂
This is the newest part of the house and is now my favorite part of the house. This used to be garden but they added this living room and put a pond with koi. Nice!

A few years back, Mike and Gloria invited us to see the beautiful home of the sister of Gloria in Tagaytay. I wish I had taken more photos.

Thank you to Lucille for preparing a wonderful lunch in celebration of your birthday.
We your cooking and the company. Happy Birthday Lucille!!
Taking you behind the scenes of that sumptuos lunch……Lucille is a serious chef which is why she has two kitchens. Her regular kitchen…..
……….and her “serious” kitchen where she does all her “serious” cooking and baking.
For now she does it as a hobby but maybe later on she would like to conduct cooking classes for some friends. What a beautiful kitchen!
With Lucille’s permission, Heart2Heart is also featuring her beautiful home. It is a five year old home designed by Maja Olivares-Co. The house is classic and timeless. Everything was in order and very clean. It is a three storey house with an attic. Lucille showed me her collection of paintings- Isabel Diaz being one of her favorites – and many of the beautiful things she bought from Rustan’s while we were still officemates around 15 years ago – framed Cartier scarves, Tiffany dinnerware, Tiffany ginger urn and an MMA ( Metropolitan Museum of Arts) vase. I particularly like the fact that she has an altar with a beautiful Mother in Child made out of ivory tusk in the middle of the rooms. The Christmas decors were elegantly done by Rustan’s flower shop. No wonder Lucille worked in Rustan’s…she loves Rustan’s just like me 🙂
There is this beautiful house in Baguio which we pass by all the time. The land is nice because it is flat and it is surrounded by tall trees. In the center is a beautiful lawn and driveway. This house looks like a house from a storybook. For many years it has been there and for a time they had a sign saying that it was not for sale, probably because they have received inquiries from many people. One day, I will try to enter and visit the inside of the house and to meet the owners….anyway, we are neighbors 🙂
I visited Tita Monique one afternoon to do a photo shoot for Town and Country. She took my photo and I took photos of her house. With her permission, here are some photos of her beautiful living room which she designed herself. Being a photographer, you will notice many of her photos on the wall.
[email_link]I visited one Saturday afternoon…….Another house to admire as they both did the interiors themselves. They are very artistic!!! Not only is the house done well, but there is something about the house…..it is very peaceful and it had a very relaxing atmosphere. All the drapes were tied because it was raining that afternoon, the wind was cool, it was quiet, and that feeling of peace was really nice. It was such a nice ambience just hanging out there….I guess when a house is filled with love… it shows…….
