ELEGANT and BEAUTIFUL! Beautiful living room…This is proof of UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES!! as long as you are creative and always look out of the box…..I could never imagine a living room this high and yet it exists. The lighting all around the house, inside and out, is done really well. Beautiful works of art….and there is more. Hope to be able to take photos of the other rooms when it is completely finished.

Housewarming by Ronnie and Lau

No wonder Ronnie and Lau enjoy lounging in their new home. It’s like you are not in the city but some beautiful resort in Bali. The personalized touches are the many antique pieces which the couple bought on their many trips to Asia. Thank you to Ronnie and Lau for hosting us in your beautiful house. We wish you more love and happiness together!!

Manoling and Sandie

As always, a warm reception by Manoling and Sandie. I always tell them that their house looks like a museum and indeed it is because aside from looking like one, inside are many beautiful works of art.
With their permission, sharing with you their beautiful home by Ed Calma and the friends we had dinner with….

House with a personalized Touch

By | Homes and Interiors | One Comment
I saw my friends house evolve from the very beginning (December ’06) and what strikes me the most is how they chose every single piece and the way they put things together. They were their own interior decorators and slowly they kept adding more details little by little. There is so much more meaning when the people living in the house put their heart and soul into furnishing their home. It reflects their sense of beauty, style and taste. I am glad they patronized Filipino made items and blended in their purchases from Europe. Looking forward to its continous evolution through the years…… Thanks to Suharto and Rina for always sharing their home with us and making us part of their lives. It is in this house that they host their many friends who cherish their friendship and their kind hospitality.

I finally got to see Xevi in person and at the same time visit the beautiful home of my cousins, Paolo and Katrina. Thanks for your kind hospitality and for letting me spend a few minutes with your good natured and adorable angel.

Mother’s Day

By | Celebrations, Foodie, Homes and Interiors | One Comment

We treated Mom to breakfast for Mother’s day as breakfast is her favorite meal of the day. We were not complete since some members of the family could not make it- Quito, M. Jun Jun & family and Javier….but it was all in all a nice celebration. We served Mom her favorite breakfast dish…. eggs benedict.
With permission of M. Noey & Krie, I am also sharing photos of their super nice apartment in Rockwell where we had the celebration. I love it because it is colorful, bright and so alive. It’s so “artsy” and I love the paintings and all the little details, from the bag hooks to the hand towels. It is the little details that bring out the personalities of the owners. They have many unique rooms- kitchen, bathrooms and staff room. Thanks for sharing your home!

Visiting the Dotson’s

By | Homes and Interiors | No Comments

We were so amazed when we visited Greg and Junie in their beautiful home in San Mateo. We knew it would be “artsy” since both of them are artists, but it was much more than we expected. We felt we were like in a restaurant or store in SOHO. It was UNIQUE, beautiful, full of color and life and so cozy.

Derick’s pad in SF

By | Homes and Interiors | No Comments

I enjoy visiting friends and family and seeing where and how they live. It is always a great honor to always be invited into someone’s home….to me it means, inviting you into their lives. Each one’s home is unique and reflects the personality of the people who live in it. So, you learn a lot about a person when you see how they live and the way they furnish and decorate their house. 

It was so nice to see our friend Derick, who we met in London more than 10 years ago. He is the cousin of our best friend Rina Silang Reyes. We always make it a point to meet up with him when we are in the States or when he is in the Philippines. Derick is a retail consultant and has worked with the biggest brands in the retail world- Polo Ralph Lauren, Reebok, Gap, and many more. We treasure our encounters with Derick as we always have many new things to learn from him – trends in fashion and anything in general, places to go to, developments in the retail industry and many more. We consult with him on almost anything as he is so smart. We always enjoy his company and friendship. He can talk and talk and we would never get bored. James said he instantly got along with Derick because of their common passion – CARS!
We had the chance to finally see his apartment in SF and we really loved it. He is mostly travelling to meet his clients but likes having his own home to go to.
