Time of Your Life

By | Tributes, What's New at Starbucks? | 2 Comments

Whenever I hear and see my cousin, Jaime, sing, I want to cry…… it just happens when he comes out and starts to sing……. it’s because he has such a great singing voice… I am so proud to be his cousin…… the songs he chooses to sing are my type of songs and he changes the lyrics to fit the occassion and the person or whoever he is composing the song for so there is so much more meaning…………..I am your fan Jaims!  I will listen to you anytime!

TIME OF YOUR LIFE  

(original lyrics & music by Billie Joe Armstrong – rewritten lyrics by Jaime T. Pineda for the Starbucks pioneer partners 10th anniv dinner celebration) 872128267503_0_bg.jpg 

Ten years gone by so fast, ten years down by the road/Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go/

You’ ve made the best / of these years, so don’t ask why/

It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time/ 

You started it as pioneers, /and now you’re still alright./

You know you’ve had the time /of your life./

 So take experience and knowledge in your mind/

They’ve helped you grow with pride in good health and good time/

People and memories all changing with style /For what it’s worth / it was worth all the while/ 

You started it as pioneers, and now you’re still alright./

You know you’ve had the time /of your life./ (2x)

The Beginning of the Next 50 Years!

By | Great Achievements, Tributes | 5 Comments

Happy 51st Anniversary to Tito Oscar and Tita Connie!! And it is only the beginning….

couple.jpg

What a beautiful gift from Tita Cedie who worked so hard to fill up and tie each of the 27 photo frames with the photos of the 27 grandchildren hanging on this beautiful silver tree. Not only is it a beautiful gift, it symbolizes the MEANING and VALUE of FAMILY!972226817503_0_alb.jpg  799716817503_0_alb.jpgAside from being a successful couple in the Philippine industry,  Tito Oscar and Tita Connie are successful at raising a wonderful family. Achievements can be measured in many ways but having a family that you love is PRICELESS.  I heard that Tito Oscar would bring the whole family on vacation trips and would even hire a bus to transport all the 27 grandchildren…..WOW!!!  That’s something my Dad would do!  🙂 No matter what…the grandchildren are always included.  Success would not mean anything if you did not have a loving family to go home to and share your success with.  Heart2Heart pays tribute to a great and wonderful couple that we admire and look up to.Here’s to the beginning of the next 50 more years of togetherness!

Thank you very much for inviting our family to celebrate this special celebration at your beautiful Baguio home…. which of course Tito Oscar and Tita Connie made sure would fit the whole family including the 27 grandchildren!

 Just their family alone was a party in itself….plus a few friends and us……   Thank you for the wonderful food ( from Le Souffle )  which you shared with us….  and the GREAT entertainment from the family and guests……..   [email_link]

Everyone probably knows the famous dancing cop….. he stands by the intersection of Mc Kinley Parkway and 5th Avenue as you enter the Fort.  Heart2Heart was able to take a few photos of him a few months ago….and is paying tribute to him for inspiring many to find joy in whatever job you are doing at the same time making people happy.  Anyone who makes people smile has to be part of  Heart2Heart.

Peachy, Thank you very much for inviting me to your Book launch…. I definitely found myself in your book and I am sure many mothers can relate to your book too.   What a loving idea to document this very important moment in a mother’s life.  It is a great act of love for a mother to write about this experience and to express ones love for their children.  Heart2Heart is really proud to feature you and your book.  Congratulations !!!

Remembering Lola Glecy

By | Tributes | One Comment

We remember a great woman- Lola Glecy, GRT, Mommy, Glecy, Gliceria.  She will always be known as the entrepreneur that pioneered the retailing industry in the Philippines. No one will ever compare to her.Though we miss her, she is always in our hearts and is very much alive in our daily lives. 
I felt that she believed in me, she always encouraged me to do my best….. to do what is right. She was always proud of my work and told me many of her trade secrets.  She was my mentor.  I really wish I had more time to spend with her and learn from her. I will always be proud to be her grandaughter………I love you Lola.  Your spirit will live on forever!

Two Worlds by Nicole

On one occassion, I received a book from my cousins, M. Donnie and Crix. It was a beautiful compilation of poems by my hijada, Nicole. 

105574773503_0_bg.jpg
When I read her poems, I was very shocked that I had not experienced my hijada who had grown up so fast.  I hardly know anyone who can express herself so well at that age.  Many describe it as “deep” and “dark” but I guess that is what adolescents go through and it just so happens that Nicole can express it through her literary talents.  Atleast she has a way of venting her thoughts and her emotions……. and now she has shared it through her book. I am so proud of her.

When you know you look good, you feel good…..

“I love it when someone tells me I look pretty. I think every woman loves hearing this compliment. Beauty and pretty is something anyone can posses. Makeup is not about having perfectly painted, caked makeup to give the illusion of flawless, but to have it on because it is smooth, natural and healthy looking. My goal is to help women appreciate and enhance their own natural beauty. I want women to develop her own sense of style, and learn to love the way they look.” Sabs Hernandez, Professional Makeup Artist

Carla ( Sabs ) is the sister of my sister in law, Margs( bride in photo ).  I am glad to have met the sisters who are both very simple and remind me of the closeness me and my sister, Maricar, have. 

 

946164773503_0_bg.jpg 

 I am particularly inspired by what Carla has to say about beauty and make up………
 
“If you aren’t in the habit of regularly wearing makeup…you should. University studies have found that there is a direct correlation between makeup and emotional well being. Additionally, they noted that self confidence, self esteem, social anxiety, and even satisfaction with one’s looks, were all higher in women who regularly used makeup. It’s sort-of like secretly wearing a red thong that women sear make them feel sexier, and more womanly.
Wearing makeup enhances your natural beauty. It accentuates your features by adding an extra bit of refined radiance. Walking out the door knowing that you’re looking extra good will have a major impact on your emotional well being.
You’ll feel an extra bounce of confidence, energy, and a desire to be seen. At its simplest, it comes down to this…when you know you look good…you feel good. Makeup can provide you with a psychological edge each and every time you use it. By becoming a regular user of makeup, you’ll see a beneficial impact in every aspect of your life.”


For every face Sabs does, a donation will be made to the Animal Kingdom Foundation Inc.
