I was so happy to witness my friend’s mom, Tita Margot Perez, who is a high level ikebana teacher and she is a Director of the Sogetsu Chapter of Ikebana in Manila. She told me that her daughter Marianne, my friend, was only 6 years old ( 1977 ) only and she has been doing Ikebana already. It’s so nice to see how beautiful flowers can look in its most simple form and design in a beautiful vase like Lalique.
Starbucks Boracay @starbucksph opened last Oct. 26 and now even bigger 🙂 Watch out for the guard there who even made pagpag my shoe which was wet and sandy 😉 and the store manager Manylyn who gave me so much tissue to wipe my feet due to the rain, There is also a Starbucks in the new ( but temporary) departure airport #starbucksph #h2hstarbucks#h2hboracay

Celebrating at Tina Tinio’s @tinatimeofficial Annual Christmas party in her Mom’s place. 
Every year her mom changes her xmas decor. This year it’s Japanese – all her Japanese things she collected through the years which she put on the tree and garlands #h2hxmas#Nisekrew







Special #nisekrew#morokrew Christmas dinner at the cozy home of Chef Noel @nrdelarama
Xmas lunch with the Gumamelas ! @maritinaromulo@maritonitordesillas @lauralimrodrigo@bbtambunting @tlacson @bearevloc@gillcab at Epicurious @epicuriousph in @shangrilaplazaofficial East Wing mall to support #h2hacbatch87 batchmate Joey @johannarcarpo ! It’s a nice place – quiet and wholesome. They have meals to go, deli items, cheese, a cooking school and you can choose anything and they can cook it for you for a small fee. It was good.

So happy to have Triccie home for the holidays with her two beautiful daughters Karina and Sara
You can’t imagine the planning we had before today on what theme or what color to wear ! haha!! Its a good thing it fell into place and after thinking of where we were going to take the photo – no problem – so many photogenic spaces in Rustan’s @rustansph in @shangrilaplazaofficial We saw a sign in front that Pottery Barn @potterybarnphwas in the 3rd floor – so what cozier spot than there!! We took photos in 3 areas. We LOVE taking photos but really to us the fun part is the planning and the photo sessions itself. Super fun, super funny and just altogether fun! We have not been complete since we were 2nd year highschool – so this is a major event for the Gumamelas ! @maritinaromulo@maritonitordesillas @gillcab @bearevloc@bbtambunting @lauralimrodrigo We waited for Triccie @tlacson to arrive from the States and so the 8 Gumamelas are complete for xmas !! #h2hrustans#h2hgumamelas #h2hxmas
What a production today !! I make sure no one has an excuse not to be in theme – back up wardrobe haha!! Each xmas celebration a unique one ! The crazy baboons 🙂 #h2hgroups #h2hbaboons #h2hxmas
