Livewell Cleaning Solutions

By | Household Tips | One Comment

Thank you Denise and Lawrence for coming over and introducing to us your services!!  I think it was so timely since my cleaning gadget has been broken for several months now.  When Denise emailed me, I was expecting someone my age or even older so when I saw them arrive- I was so shocked to see that they were so young!  I love seeing young entrepreneurs trying to start a business, it reminds me of myself when I was their age and getting into many kinds of businesses 🙂

Supportive sisters of Denise, Angeli and Monique, who came over to watch and take photos and videos

 It’s like a Rainbow but this is another brand from Germany

These two ladies were so shy- it was so hard to take a photo – but anyway two of them came over

They demonstrated and cleaned my sofa in the living room

She was so good! She cleaned each and every corner

Then the pillows

Dirt from that small sofa

Then I asked them to clean this carpet which I bought 16 years ago from our trip to Turkey

It’s a different gadget for the carpet and she told me that they won’t stop cleaning until they see the water is clear

OH MY GOSH!!!! That was from that small carpet.  That is already like mud!  They took quite some time to clean it but it was worth it.  What a relief and I am so glad I chose to have that carpet cleaned.livewell-cleaning-solutions-8.JPG

They said that they do not guarantee to revive an old carpet but they will do what they can and they did a good job with mine.  The top part is the cleaned part and the bottom was done after I took the photo.  Now my carpet looks very clean and almost like new 🙂  This carpet has sentimental value to us since it was from our trip to Turkey and our experience in the carpet store which was really unforgettable

They have very reasonable prices.  Lawrence said it is the lowest in the market.  You get the results of a very good machine and you do not have to purchase it ( which costs more than P 100,000.00 ) to benefit from it.  Just call them and they will service your cleaning needs.  The beauty of it also is their staff is trained to use it already.  The problem I had was that I felt my household staff did not really use my gadget to its maximum capabilities -either they were just not thorough enough or they just forget how to use it completely.   By hiring Livewell, be assured that the staff is trained well

I love eating in the Raintree group restaurants because you will find dishes that are unique and cannot be found elsewhere – I love looking at their presentation and of course trying all their delicious concoctions

Nice also to dine at their themed restaurants – with very interesting interiors and fun accents inside their restos

Trying to be healthy and choosing an alternative – I ordered the Blueberry Granola Yogurt.  It was less the calories but still has cream in it 🙂  delicious of course

Very very easy to prepare.  Michele said that even if you defrost it a few hours before it is still okay.  It only takes 10 minutes to prepare!  So imagine you can have instant crispy pata at home just like that!!

Who You Gonna Call?

Heart2Heart has featured Father Frias in some events

92nd Birthday Celebration of Lolo Benny May 8, 2013 

Father Frias says mass in Lolo’s house regularly, in the Rustan’s stores, he blesses some Starbucks stores and recently blessed the first FamilyMart store in the Philippines 🙂  And in the blessing, my cousin Crickette told me that he is a “Ghostbuster.”  Which confirmed what my Mom told me.  She said that Fr. Frias can go to your house or to any place and he can send away the spirits and ghosts.  That is if you believe in ghosts 🙂  Mom said that Fr. says they like hiding in spaces that are messy, in cabinets that are cluttered and not being opened, enclosed spaces that have no air circulation and in dark areas.  But Father said that when he goes there and does his ghostbuster stunts, they all leave with him when he leaves.  He told me that some religious people are against what he is doing but he said that God may has given him this gift and he is just using what gift he has – in fact he said he has been getting many calls that he wants to do this full time 🙂

So whether you believe this or not – or in case you might be having some incidents of ghosts – WHO YOU GONNA CALL??

92nd Birthday Celebration of Lolo Benny

By | Celebrations, Tributes | 3 Comments

We had a beautiful family celebration for Lolo’s 92nd birthday!  This was a very special birthday for Lolo because his birthday fell on the Feast of the Divine Mercy.  For Lolo this was such a blessing for him and this made him very very happy to celebrate on this special day

He only invited the family and his pilgrimage group and a very select few friends.  The theme was Moroccan though he insisted we order Japanese food from Sugi! 🙂

Thank you Gabby and Jia Estrella

dsc_1947.jpg

for lending us your beautiful Majorelle furniture and accessories.  It was amazing how they transformed the place and brightened it up with the Moroccan touch! Jia told me that she went to Morocco and collaborated with her sister in law, Malou Jaidi and they worked closely with the suppliers there.  They provided the colors and designs and the manufacturers executed it.  Obviously they have good taste!  The merchandise is truly beautiful – Made in Morocco but made especially for the Philippine market – all available at Rustan’s

Propagation of the Devotion to the Divine Mercy

By | Celebrations, Tributes | 2 Comments

One of Lolo’s legacy to the family is  THE FAMILY!  Lolo is making sure that the family is strong and united as he wants to see this while he is still alive and long after he is gone.  Another one of his legacies is his devotion to the Lord – whether it be in the form of the Twin Sacred Hearts or the Divine Mercy.  The family and the Rustan Group of companies have always been devoted to the Sacred Heart – weekly masses and stores are all dedicated to the Sacred Heart enthroned in every blessing.  

After Lolo’s pilgrimage to Krakow, he is now propagating the Divine Mercy.
