Of course, I invited myself over to Ria’s home 🙂 I am glad she said yes!
She has a saying ” No more arte arte” Which is also applicable to me too which I will adapt 🙂 Hope others will do too.
I love the location of her house because it’s isolated and you will only pass here if you live in this street
And my dream is to live in a Victorian home!! She is living my dream!!! 🙂 She is so lucky! She is renting this home and she is also very lucky her landlord renovated the house before they moved in!! It’s beautiful!! It’s a 144 year old house!
As you enter 🙂 Someone loves to bike 🙂 Victorian homes are very narrow and they go up several floors – so it is a vertical home 🙂
WOW!! The living room! Ria told me that she moved all her furniture and things from Singapore where she lived for 13 years! Jonathan Matti was her Interior designer in Singapore. This time, she just fixed this herself!
Antique pottery
She has a mixture of Asian Art
The living room is connected to the dining room which is nice because it becomes more spacious and not too enclosed compared to the other Victorian homes I have seen
Love the dining room!!!! Table by Kenneth Cobonpue and dining chairs by Roland Laurena
Ang Kiukok paintings
Bencab
Ria has been living in London for a year already and she told me that ever since she moved from Singapore, she had to learn how to cook! And I heard she cooks very well!
The kitchen leads to a patio! Love! 🙂

John Santos!!!
It’s really hard to find renovated Victorian homes. So having a bathroom like this is precious 🙂
Second Floor – Kids room 🙂
Third floor should be another bedroom but Ria turned it into the study/play room of the kids!!
Ronald Ventura!!!
Fourth level is an attic type room which she made into the guest room! Lucky houseguest 🙂
Oops another bike 🙂

Heart2Heart through the request of a friend, Ned, is helping spread the word to help the family of two month old Alessandra raise money for her needed heart surgery.
They need to raise P 1m for this. A Facebook page was set up for this initiative ( Click below to go to the page )
They will be doing many fund raisers and one of them is you can simply make a donation in cash and deposit it to BPI Account of James H. Deakin 3779 0574 44
Another way is this very interesting offer from James Deakin.
The boys will probably know more about this so for the lady readers out there you might want to inform your husbands of this offer or maybe bid for them 🙂 Read below for more information or click on the photo to go to the website
Another generous friend, Elbert Cuenca, threw in a free steak dinner for two at Elbert’s Steak Room, A premium bottle of champagne and an overnight stay in Resorts World. Please click below to post your bid for this package
I should never have ridden that heli, I am enjoying it too much! 🙂 A friend, Archi Po, owner of Lionair, offered us a round trip ride, so we took the opportunity to take it to Subic!
James asked me to accompany him to a car show in Danville. We drove about an hour away from San Mateo. I love the small town of Danville!
Just in the parking lot, there were already many nice cars parked
Entrance to the show, they closed the street for the event
How nice! It was a fund raiser for Team Fox!
It’s nice because in the street are nice coffee shops and quaint vintage stores! I was so worried I would get bored, but I enjoyed it and wished we had more time to hang around
She closed all the curtains! We watched clippings from the movie AVATAR! 🙂 AMAZING with all the sounds and with the room vibrating! LOVE IT!!! Reminds me of my daddy who loves these things!!!
All the controls
After that, we went down to the basement,
I was already having many thoughts as to what was behind that door!!
MY GOSH!! My Dad will even love this more!!! And you thought Jack just loved to cook! 🙂
Jack’s speakers are Von Schweikert VR9s, Lamm amplifiers, Valvet phono and line stages, Von Schweikert cables, TW Acoustic and Townsend turntables. And all these, Jack is a distributor of in the Philippines!!
See this video I took, of course the sounds will never justify the actual audio features when you are in the room

WOW! A turntable! Hard to see this anymore nowadays!
