Maja Olivares Co and Rama Co for the Philippine Daily Inquirer

By | For kids, Hot Off the Press | One Comment

 Heart2Heart was so thrilled to learn that Rama Co, the 15 year old son of our friends,  Rombit and Maja Co, writes for the Philippine Daily Inquirer!  I am sharing here, two articles which he wrote and you will see and read for yourself the talent he has!

Rama even has his own viewpoint on the Pork Barrel scam!

It’s no surprise where he gets his talent, from Mommy Maja who also writes very well!  Sharing here three articles among many that she has written.  Her column is called BEST OF CLASS talking about the Best of anything 🙂

The Vain Mama

By | Beauty, Hot Off the Press | No Comments

This Mama must be really vain to look so fresh and pretty all the time! 🙂  But dont be deceived, this girl is not only beauty but brains too!  She’s a tough one when it comes to business which explains why she’s doing very well with her online business! She told me that she is even the one who carries the boxes of the products because she is so “OC” and wants things done in a certain way! Funny girl 😉  

Previous entry:  SeektheUniq by Vanessa Santos and Mikka Padua September 12, 2013    


She not only sells beauty products but she also writes about beauty.  She has a column in a blog called Glamomamas which is a website by Amanda Griffin together with other contributing Mommy writers.  Here is the Vain Mama’s latest post ( click below to go to the blog )

Invitation House

By | Hot Off the Press, Shopping | 2 Comments

Heart2Heart can never get enough of stationary items!!!!  I had recently discovered Invitation House though it has been in existence for three years already and they have been in Rustan’s department store selling notepads and gift cards.  

 36047_156091071094649_2522809_n.jpg

I saw their store in Alabang Town Center

And recently visited their Greenbelt 5 branch and went crazy!!

It was so nice to meet the owner, Cory Marquez

about-invitation-house.jpg

Cory told me that she had asked for a small space only but they gave her this space which she was able to fill up anyway with many things that you can just go crazy about

Invitations

Notebooks

Notecards

Love these monogrammed notecards!

monogram-cards-invitation-house.jpg

I have so many kinds of notepads, yet I would still buy one of each design! I just love them!  

Gift tags!

They have so many designs for Christmas!!  I suggest you order them early to avoid rushing with many others ordering

christmas-tags-invitation-house1.jpg

I love the letters!!!!!!

Here’s mine 🙂

Oh my gosh! I love these!!!  Small bags and straws for parties and party favors!  Again I would just buy one of each! LOVE!

Since the store is big, Cory was able to put accessories

You can even have personalised fragrances made

And this is something that would be a nice gift – Photo block letters

To make it even more personalized, you can put your photos as the background of the blocks!

Photo greeting cards

Discarded Romance by Mike Stilkey

By | Arts and Culture, Hot Off the Press | One Comment

Last June 6, I was able to stop by Fully Booked to meet Mike Stilkey as he was installing his artwork!  

Previous entry:  Mike Stilkey at Fully Booked on June 7 and 8

He has brought this to Times Square Hong Kong and not in Manila.  This will already be a permanent installation in Fully Booked

dsc_0721.jpgdsc_0722.JPG

And here he is!  🙂  What a pleasure to meet the artist.  For many years he wanted to be a professional skateboarder but because he kept getting hurt, this dream sort of changed and he began to draw.  Catch him today at 3pm for a Dialogue and book signing!  

dsc_0729.jpgdsc_0743.JPGmike-stilkey-cv.jpg

Chris Daez was there too!! 

dsc_0724.JPGdsc_0735.jpg

Mike will have some artworks for sale – on Books and on Paper with a price range of around P 50,000 to P 150,000.00 which is very reasonable for the work that he does

ON BOOKS
