Charriol Saint-Tropez Collection
People love the sparkling, sun-drenched
On October 12, Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and Charriol will host an exclusive, one-night only event to celebrate the collection. No less than French entrepreneur Philippe Charriol and his son Alexander Charriol will fly to
The new collection comprises models adorned with diamonds set in mother-of-pearl, a first in the Charriol range. Dubbed as summer’s ‘It’ watch, the St-Tropez Infinite Summer jewelry watch has a cable bracelet and adjustable chain that shines beneath an unusual sapphire crystal.
Thanks to its sophisticated case construction, the latter covers not only the dial but also the bezel. Behind this show window, the hour and minute hands sweep across the mother-of-pearl dial base embellished by its sunburst motif, which features beams radiating out from the small seconds sub-dial.
The collection also features innovative cable motif rubber straps in black or white which afford a casual touch and is destined to appeal to younger wearers. Imbued with a truly refreshing appeal, its 30 mm-diameter cases come in natural steel; pink gold-plated or yellow gold-plated versions with white or black mother-of-pearl bezels, polished or set with diamonds.
In the Philippines, Charriol is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) with shops located at Greenbelt 4, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Tower, Gateway Mall, SM Mall of Asia, 158 Designers’ Boulevard Alabang Town Center, TriNoma, Robinsons Midtown, Newport Resorts World, The Podium, Rustan’s Ayala Cebu, Abreeza Davao and Limketkai Cagayan de Oro.
We went nearby to scout the places for catholic churches for Jaime to go to. This was one of them
The church was closed so we were trying to get access to the office so we could talk to someone and we stumbled into this instead!
They were using the church as a temporary venue for their feeding since they are renovating their building
This is their stock of food which is being donated by individuals or food stores for them to use to cook food. They feed around 80 to 100 people a day
Dining area
Here is Liza and her friend Carol who are the ones cooking. Liza told me they cook everyday the whole year except for Christmas day. WOW!!! They are amazing!!!
Donations as well where anyone can just get if it fits them 🙂
Cute, they even have a kids corner
More donations
This is the founder and owner of the Friendly Kitchen! Liza gave me a poster:-)

They are building their feeding center! I wish I could do this one day!

The kids told us about their favorite ice cream place, so we decided to go and get some before leaving!!!
Love this 🙂
Oh my! Choices choices choices 🙂
The kids were telling us about this!! Named after Sesame Street’s Cookie Monster! It does look like the cookie he eats in the show! 🙂

Okay! It’s the favorite flavor of the kids! 🙂
James of course had a peanut butter flavor- Reese’s Peanut butter cup

So so happy we saw Rainier twice! Now on the way back 🙂 And this time with the kids! It’s a good thing we waited for them to get back from school so we could see them
We are so spoiled by Rainier and Josie!! We want to do this all the time! 🙂
Wow!! Josie prepared all of this for us!! I only requested for ADOBO! 🙂 Thank you for hosting our lunch Rainier!!
Rainier is such a health buff, he only ate this! A vegetarian dish!
Rainier is trying to convince us to turn vegetarian, click below a link from Rainier
Rainier was one of the producers of this Broadway play!
The beautiful and smart young Reyes ladies 🙂 with Josie who takes care of them all and is part of the family 🙂
So happy to see Ral too who came a little later than the girls from school. We missed Ben who is # 5 and the youngest

Tina and Gia consigned their items here at Heart2Heart’s store! So we have a few new items from Trader Joe’s! I just love their products!!!
And I brought a few snacks back from the States!! Because it is Halloween, they have a new M&M flavor – CANDY CORN!!!! Heart2Heart loves CANDY CORN AND LOVES WHITE CHOCOLATE! This is now my favorite M&M flavor! I hope they will keep this and make it a regular flavor
And OH MY GOSH! 4 CHEESE PRINGLES!!!! I hope they keep this also as a regular flavor!!!Come and get them!
The kids are assigned to a house ( dorm )
Common areas
We arrived early and had a headstart in organizing the room
This is it! 🙂



We decided to rearrange the room to give each of the kids fair chance of having their own bed space so no one has to be on top of the double deck. So this is what we changed it to ( though I heard they already rearranged it after living there for a few weeks, I am still waiting for the photo 🙂 )
More storage space on top of the room
Roomates space
Jaime’s big brother, Chris 🙂
Thanks to some friends who helped us out an gave us a list of all the things we would need in the dorm. We were guided so well in buying the things. Even the stores were very prepared, they already have printed checklists which you can grab in the front of the store and use it as a guide. It’s so common in the States that they are such experts at dorm living!

Wow, i wish I made my dorm room in college PINK! haha 🙂
The boys brought all the things up!! And let Mommy do the unpacking!!! Oh my! 🙂 They went to do other things that were needed – books, etc etc
For comfort since the mattresses could be quite old. I want my son to have a good rest at night after all he will be studying very very hard! 🙂
I bought this pen so I could mark all his things!! in case it gets misplaced!
I bought dymo tape that you can iron on clothes
Name stickers to stick on school supplies
FOOD!!! In case of emergency! 🙂
For his few valuables
Attached to his bed
Tote to bring to the shower plus all the toiletries
School supplies from Staples
Bed lamp for reading
For all devices!
Phone with a very very long cord!
We bought those portable plastic drawers to put under the bed for additional storage – plenty bottled water, drinks, food and toiletries. We figured it would be best to stock up so he does not have to go out of campus just to buy little things
After 3 hours, Mommy was tired!!! And this was the room
The closet 🙂
Still some space left which I am sure will get full as time goes by
Thanks to Lola Menchu for remembering to pack these!
After around 2 hours of me fixing, the roomate arrived

with 6 other family members!! WOW!! It was a family affair 🙂 and he was lucky he had a lot of help – they finished unpacking even before me!
We were so happy to know that his roomate had a good family background! They even invited him already for Christmas to stay over! 🙂
Soon after lunch, they already had activities!! Jaime was kicking us out already!! He was so excited!
Oh my! Mess already – we had not even left yet! 🙂
We went down to see what they were doing- they were already having dorm activities and last we saw was they were passing a football around – hmmm…

During the parents’ meeting, they served us snacks. I took note of this station which I wish I had!!
So many choices!!!
Love 🙂
