Heart2Heart doesn’t usually post wakes but this is a different kind of wake. It’s a happy wake. As soon as I entered, the vibes of the kapilya was not heavy, it was not sad. Apparently Jojo was like that – he always had good vibes. I even heard that on the last night his friend played some music and friends were dancing and celebrating his journey to heaven. I noticed nowadays it’s becoming more like this and it’s nice because it helps everyone accept the fact that we will all go one day and we have to think of it as a milestone in our life where we can celebrate just like other milestones. And imagine it’s the milestone where we will go back to our creator – a celebration indeed. Yes we will miss them but they will forever be in our hearts. To the family of our #Nisekrew friend Carmina @thecrazycook_ph and Raffy @dondurian our deepest condolences – Jojo’s definitely in a better place #h2hquotes #H2HG?d #H2HTribute

Family photo shoot today. I asked my beautiful 20 year old hijada Danni @dltiangco to put make up on me because she’s so amazing!!! Thank you Laura Mercier @lauramercier @rustansthebeautysource for my Master Class Color Essentials Collection 2nd edition ? #RustansPh #rustansbeautysource #rustansbeautyaddict #LauraMercierPh #H2HRustans

One of the best cheesecakes in the world!!! Fromage Double ( cheesecake ) from Le Tao @letao_ph has arrived in the Philippines ! Now opened in Uptown BGC and Greenbelt 5!!! LOVE Le Tao because this is the official cheesecake of the #Nisekrew gang. Le Tao is based in Hokkaido and we went to Hokkaido last February. It brings back memories and at the same time it’s really yummy!! Thank you Bryan Tiu @tiubryan for bringing this in. For reservations or info call 0916 568 3362 #H2HCheese #h2hdessertfinds #H2HDesserts #LeTaoPh

Thank you to these 2 handsome 🙂 gentlemen – Bryan Tiu @tiubryan and Dominic Hernandez @chadominic for bringing in LeTAO @letao_ph and Tokyo Milkcheese Factory @tokyomilkcheesefactoryph ( sister companies ) to the Philippines. There’s another one coming soon according to Bryan and Heart2Heart is also excited #LeTaoPh #H2HPeople #tokyomilkcheesefactoryph
We had a nice afternoon tea at Chef Jessie in Rockwell Club 



LeTAO @letao_ph cheesecake is the official cheesecake of the #Nisekrew Last year we went to Hokkaido and we all love LeTAO. We were also able to go to Otaru where it originated. Japanese cheesecake is different from American cheesecake so it’s lighter, cheesy in a different way ( not too salty, a bit sweet) and it doesn’t give a guilty or heavy feeling. So to us this is the best cheesecake. It’s Double Fromage with 2 layers – the top layer is a no bake cheesecake made of mascarpone cheese from Italy and the lower layer is a baked cheesecake. Around the cheesecake is grated cheesecake ( like the lower layer) which is like snow. Like the snow in Hokkaido, like the cheesecake that melts in your mouth ! I’m so happy it’s now in the Philippines only as a pop up in Uptown BGC mall and in Greenbelt 5 until March. The real store will open in October! So make sure to get your cheesecakes now #LeTaoPh #H2HCheese #h2hdessertfinds #H2HCakes #nisekrewdiscoveries
Now I know why Le Tao is in the Philippines!!! Berna told Bryan to bring it in!!! YAY!!!!!

My 2 companions today who I love and who I connect with LeTAO . Cherina @cheriris shared with me her valuable stash of LeTAO cheesecake and sent it to my hotel room in Sapporo with fresh Japanese strawberries pa. I tasted it and that’s how I fell in love with it. So I will never forget that. Berna on the other hand also tried it during her visit to Hokkaido last year and also loved it. So we are the LeTAO girls haha!! Happy to eat it together today #LeTaoPh #H2HCakes #h2hdessertfinds #H2HCheese #nisekrewdiscoveries
