The Timbang Family from Tarlac have a rare genetic form of inherited congenital cataract that has left three generations partially blind. In 25 years, the Fred Hollows Foundation has never had a case like this, with so many members of a family affected.
Like any grandmother, Lola Iluminada Timbang wants only the best for her children and grandchildren. But unfortunately, seven of her children had cataracts, who in turn passed it on to their children. “The kids are lucky if they can finish grade 6 because they can’t even see the blackboard,” Lola said. Theirs is a hazy world and sunlight is unbearable.
“I approached several doctors, but it was too expensive, between 50,000 and 70,000 pesos,we just couldn’t afford it,” said Layla Jake Timbang, mother of 10-year-old Marlon Jake. She worked as a housekeeper in Jordan for two years but could not save enough money for the operation. For Layla, her husband’s family history of cataracts came as a surprise. “I didn’t realise at first, because it was always night when he courted me, so he didn’t squint,” she laughed. “It was only after I got married that I found out about the family’s eye problems.”
With help from the Fred Hollows Foundation and the Tarlac Provincial Hospital Eye Center, 18 of the Timbang children had their eyes fixed on a weekend. After just a few hours, the patches came off and their blurry world is now clear.
For seven-year-old Maia Janella Garcia, it’s a revelation. She can see clearly and wants to use that opportunity to help others. Her cousin, Danielle Joshua Pagco, also seven, wants to be an astronaut and travel to his favorite planet, Jupiter. As her grandchildren open a new chapter in their lives, Lola Iluminada’s vision for future generations of the Timbang family is now a lot closer to what she always wanted.

Stradivarius presents its woman trends for autumn–winter 2018, which are established by the 80’s and 2000’s influences, the slightly deconstructed aesthetic and the rise of the feminine silhouette.
This season, the retro style and tailoring gain importance, while utilitarian, sportive, and urban themes reinvent themselves to provide novelty.
ATHLEISURE UTILITY
This fashion extracts from the high-performance sports that will reset your winter wardrobe, and it couldn’t be more tempting.
The sportive trend that we’ve seen the last years evolve from a technical and utilitarian perspective: it is all about mountain sports now.
Gorpcore: This trend is based on mixing trekking and hiking items with urban clothes. Windbreakers, puffers, cargo pants, and mountain boots, are some of the key items of this movement.
Ski: The après-ski style runs down the mountains and settles in the cities, generating a new trend that goes beyond the traditional winter looks. Oversized volumes, multi-layering, and track suits become relevant.
HYPER-VINTAGE
Vintage has never been this fashionable: back to boho with a young and funny attitude. This trend is an irreversible cocktail that brings back the urban style of the 90’s, the volume of the 80’s and the sartorial style of the 70’s.
Retro Academy: Get your uniform ready, find some pads and get into an 80’s corduroy suit. Tartan checks appear everywhere; applied to all kind of clothes, from miniskirts and trousers to jacket. Always with a touch of color to make it more youthful.
Retro Boheme: This feminine style transports us to the bohemian world of the 80’s, where floral prints are mixed with checks to get a more renovated image of this ambient. The cozy coat becomes indispensable for winter, emphasizing those made of fur and double-sided.
SARTORIAL UTILITY
The sartorial trend seen in previous seasons evolve to a more 80’s aesthetic, where the shapes and volumes gain importance, without missing the sporty touch.
The track suit is the protagonist of this urban atmosphere, where the color charts get invaded of natural tones and the silhouettes are defined by adding layers and more layers of clothes and accessories.
Oversize suits and coats become relevant, as well as tight tricots with neck zip, and belt bags to get a sporty touch.
DENIM
Denim recovers the urban inspiration of the 90’s in its purest essence. Volumes get wider, cuts are more refined and the carpenter pockets invade all items redefining the workwear style.
We incorporate new fits this season: wide leg, straight and mom, being the coolest basics for this winter.

The Kennedy Center, located on the banks of the Potomac River near the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., opened to the public in September 1971. But its roots date back to 1958, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed bipartisan legislation creating a National Cultural Center. To honor Eisenhower’s vision for such a facility, one of the Kennedy Center’s theaters is named for him. (website) #hamiltonmusical#thekennedycenter #h2hwashingtondc#h2hentertainment

The last few years, she has been giving family & friends her rich & delicious Bacon Carbonara as gifts. Both adults and children kept raving about how good it was each and every time, without fail. One night a few months ago, while my Mom, my brother Anthony & my cousin Paulo Reyes and I were hanging out at Mama V Restaurant, Paulo was sharing how he managed to finish half a box of Bacon Carbonara in one sitting (half a kilo of pasta). A lightbulb went off inside my head. Why not bring the Party Tray-Family Style Mama V food to people’s homes, gatherings, parties and special occasions? Being in a one-location restaurant in a school district (St. Scho, College of St. Benilde & De La Salle University) limits your audience, especially with the traffic in Manila. Mama V Delicious, Delicious Meals To-Go was born that evening. Delicious Delivered To Your Doorstep.
