My Lolo is so strong and alert because he is very active! And he really makes an effort to keep himself healthy. It’s never a dull day with Lolo!! I enjoy spending time with him, I learn and discover a lot from being with him
First thing is breakfast and then his exercise with Ned his personal trainer who comes three times a week
Lolo always feeds the birds and his pets and visits them – if he has free time, he walks in Luneta Park, Bonifacio High Street or in Powerplant Mall
That morning, I went with him to the Metropolitan Museum where they had an exhibit of Claudio Bravo! It was beautiful! Photos are not allowed so I was not able to take photos of the beautiful portraits
After we went to have lunch in Seaside in Roxas Boulevard
Tita Tess knows exactly what Lolo likes, she chose the seafood
Last stop is the vegetables
Then the restaurant
You bring the seafood you bought to the counter and tell them how you want it cooked from the menu and then you pay 🙂
I met someone who instead of collecting paintings, collects a different type of art – PRINTS! 🙂 He had many many prints all over and at the same time in storage- all of them very rare and valuable. He was very passionate explaining the different prints that he has collected
I bought 6 prints from him and Timmy helped us hang it in our room. I like that she hung it in a different way – since we like curtains all around the room – we still managed to put art works over them 🙂
On Saturday, March 16, 2013, from 2 pm to 12 midnight Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village, Makati City will once bustle with excitement at the Museum Foundation’s annual affordable art fair, Art In The Park.

Originally envisioned as a way to introduce wider audiences to Philippine contemporary art by providing them with an occasion to view art in a relaxed setting, Art In The Park has become much more than that. It has become a community activity where people come initially to peruse the stalls with the intent of purchasing art; but end up lingering because of the atmosphere – the food, the drinks, the conversations and the friends.
Of course the main attraction of the fair is the art. Where else can you go to see more than 40 galleries all offering art for P30,000 or less? There is something for everyone. There are illustrations, paintings and drawings for children, and there are collectible toys for the young at heart. There are wonderful still lifes and landscapes, sculpture and photography, and the most cutting edge of contemporary art. Artfully repurposed furniture, pottery and jewellery are also available to those who like to be able to use their art pieces. The galleries are there for those who want to buy and browse and there are art installations all over the park for those who just want a nice afternoon in the park.
One of the greatest draws to the fair is the opportunity to pick up reasonably priced artworks by artists that are so in demand that there are waiting lists for those who want to buy their works as soon as their exhibitions open. They have seen what Art In The Park is about and they support it. They are happy to make new works that fall under the price cap of the fair – it gives them an opportunity to work with different materials, perhaps make smaller more intimate pieces. This is what is great about Art in the Park, it is a day that buyers, artists and gallerists all look forward to. It’s not just about the selling but providing people with a friendly experience of art. Some galleries even create special themes for their booths, and commission their artists to make new works for it.
It is perhaps the best, most accessible cultural event of the year, where artists, writers, cultural workers, photographers, musicians, art students, fashion students and families who just want an interesting afternoon and evening out, all congregate. As the sun sets, the frenzied buying of the early afternoon calms down and people settle down to listen to live music, have cocktails, catch up with each other and talk about their finds of the day. It is a most delightful way to spend one Saturday every year; definitely something for everyone to look forward to.

As I was organizing an activity for my foundation, I receive an email from my friend, Pauli! She offered to hold an etiquette class for the kids and moms at Educare!! What a blessing!!! God really knows even before I ask! I got so excited I immediately accepted and coordinated with Pauli because I thought it was such a great idea. I wish we could give classes to as many people as we can. I took video clips and put them together here, watch Coach Pauli from Etiquette de Manille

Sino si Isa Cojuangco Suntay?
Doktor na may pusong matulungin! Sino lang ang doktor na nag-pakadalubhasa sa medisina sa Harvard Medical School sa Amerika na matiyagang lumilibot sa lahat ng 18 bayan at syudad ng Tarlac upang buong -pusong nanggagamot ng mga mahihirap simula pa noong 2007? Sino lang ang doktor na dating iskolar ng Unibersidad ng Pilipinas na buong pusong humaharap at nag-bibigay lunas sa mga may malubhang sakit, tulad ng ketong, gamit ang sarili niyang pondo? Wala ng iba kundi si — Isa Cojuangco Suntay. Tunay si Isa ay may pusong matulungin at mapag-silbi, lalo na sa mga kapos-palad ng Tarlac. Sa pamamagitan ng proyekto ni Isa na Tarlac Community Skin Clinic, at sa tulong ng mga kaibigan niyang kapwa espesyalista sa St. Luke’s Medical Center, mahigit 5,000 mamamayan sa buong Tarlac na ang nabigyan ng libreng konsultasyon at gamot. Dahil sa kanyang pusong matulungin at mapagbigay, ang kanyang proyektong Tarlac Community Skin Clinic ay nagwagi ng tanyag na L’Oreal Galderma International Award for Social Responsibility in Dermatology sa World Congress of Dermatology noong Mayo 2011. Walang inuurungan, basta matutulungan!
Pag-dating sa pagtulong sa Tarlac, si Isa Cojuangco Suntay ay walang inuurungan. Kaya nga kahit abutin ng hating gabi o madaling araw at kahit mataas ang tubig sa mga binahang baranggay sa Moncada, Camiling, Mayantoc, Paniqui, Anao at Sta. Ignacia, si Isa ay pumunta, sakay sa isang trak, at mamigay ng relief goods sa mga biktima ng bagyong Pedring noong Setyembre 2011, at bagyong Quiel noong Oktubre 2011. Kahit sa mga liblib na bundok ng Iba, San Jose, si Isa ay pumunta rin, kahit abutin ng gabi, upang magbigay tulong sa mga katutubo sa kanilang pag-ani ng kanilang palay. Todo sipag, maaasahan! Kahit siya ay isa lang pribadong indibidual, at kahit walang suporta ng gobyerno, buong sipag at tiyaga na sinimulan at pinamunuan ni Isa Cojuangco Suntay ang maraming matagumpay na proyekto sa Tarlac, tulad Belenismo sa Tarlac, na nag-patanyag sa Tarlac bilang Belen Capital of the Philippines. Maliban sa nabanggit na proyekto, tinaguyod din ni Isa ang Hardin ng Lunas, kung saan daan daang mamayan ang nakinabang sa libreng pag-aaral sa pagtanim ng gulay, at nakatanggap ng libreng punlang gulay, Isabel Cojuangco Suntay Youth Leadership Award, kung saan ang mga matatalino ng kapus palad na mga mag-aaral ng Tarlac College of Agriculture (TCA) ay nabigyan ng tulong pinansyal, at Goat Dispersal Project, kung saan, siya ay namahagi ng libreng imported na kambing para mapalaganap ang mas malalaki at malulusog na kambing para sa mga bayan ng Tarlac. Sa kanyang sipag at tiyaga, bilib tuloy ang ating President na si Benigno S. Aquino III kaya noong Oktubre 2012 sa paglungsad ng Hardin ng Lunas sinabi nya: “Hindi ko na maisip kung saan pa niya hinuhugot ang lakas at panahon para maipagsabay ang kanyang trabaho at mga adbokasiya.
Bilib po talaga tayo sa kanya.” Simple, hindi pulitiko, at hindi pasikat! Sa pag-libot niya sa lahat ng bayan ng Tarlac, siya ay simple lang at hindi nag-papapansin o nagbibida sa media. Mula katutubo sa bundok ng San Jose, magsasaka sa Camiling o Paniqui, pulis sa Mayantoc, empleyadong gobyerno sa Moncada, tricycle driver sa Pura, tindera sa palengke – lahat ay madaling nakakalapit kay Isa, dahil sya ay simple lang at hindi mayabang. Malinis, mapagkakatiwalaan at di magnanakaw. Si Isa Cojuangco Suntay ay walang bahid ng anomalya at kontrobersiya sa gobyerno. Kaya nais rin niya na ang Pamahalaan ng Probinsya ng Tarlac ay maging malinis at may integridad. “Hindi ako mag-nanakaw. Hindi ko hahayaan ang pagnanakaw sa gobyerno. Ako ay magsisilbi, hindi ako ang mag-papasilbi. Babaguhin ko ang pulitika sa Tarlac. Ang mananaig: sipag sa serbisyo, malinis na gobyerno,” yan po ang simpleng mensahe ni Isa para sa Tarlac.
Isa Cojuangco Suntay Integridad. Serbisyo. Aksyon.
