Yaya Nenita

By | Tributes | One Comment

Last July 9, Yaya Nenita celebrated her 60th birthday!  I saw this post by my cousin, Marie and remembered Yaya Nenita as a kid!  391540_10151253976594418_556988980_n.jpg

I remember her as the Yaya of Marie ( I love this photo! ) But she was Yaya to Dino and Jaime and everyone else!

559092_10151253990439418_600066845_n.jpg

Yaya Nenita was a staple in all our gatherings and I remember her when we used to stay in Tita Merl’s house when Dad and Mom would go on trips abroad.  

35 years ago,  June 11, 1977 to be exact, Yaya Nenita worked with Tita Merl and till today she is the yaya of Dino’s daughter, Sofie. She is part of the family!!…and yes a second mother to the Pinedas!  This kind of loyalty and dedication is very rare nowadays!  

Happy 60th to our 2nd mom, our walking&talking memory bank, our resident history buff, movie musical lover, and natural remedies guru! Yaya nenita 4ever!!!!!!

 yaya-nenita-1.jpgyaya-nenita-2.jpg

Special mention as well are Conchita and Yaya Sion who have been with my Lolo and Lola til this day.  Conchita was the Yaya of my lola around 50 years ago! and Yaya Sion around 41 years ago since 1971.  She was the yaya of Tita Tess and when she moved to Rome with my Lolo and Lola, she learned how to cook Italian and from then on cooked for the family!  

We love all the Yayas who have been with our family since forever till today!!!

I was supposed to have a Diamond peel but they noticed that my skin was sensitive, so they refrained from doing the procedure.  

ultimate-diamond-facial-peel-the-spa.jpgskin-ultimate-diamond-facial-2.jpg

I had a facial instead which was really very relaxing at the same time very healthy for my skin!  signature-facial-at-the-spa-skin-center.jpg

 My oatmeal mask which was so refreshing!!!

They give it to you after so you can use it again one or two time within the next 24 hours

Refreshing ginger tea before and after the facial- what a relaxing experience!!

An Evening with Peter Allison

By | Animals and Pets, Travel | One Comment

I attended this talk by Peter Allison organized by A to A Safaris 

Previous entry:  Asia to Africa Safaris January 3, 2012

peter-allison-a-to-a.jpg

Everyone here has either been to a safari like Jay Lopez and Tito Manny and Tita Ina Dizon….

peter-allison-01.jpgpeter-allison-010.jpg

…..or has been to a safari and wants to go again on another adventure like Tessa Valdes and Malou Gamboa, and Chie Gatchalian and her husband

 peter-allison-02.jpgpeter-allison-022.jpg

planning to go to a safari like Aileen Anastacio, Chip Syyap and Mia Florencio   

peter-allison-03.jpgpeter-allison-06.jpgpeter-allison-05.jpgpeter-allison-04.jpgpeter-allison-026.jpg

or maybe some just dreaming to go to one one day, that’s me 🙂  maybe with my bestfriend Eds or with Steve and Cherina 🙂

peter-allison-023.jpgpeter-allison-024.jpg

And here is Peter Allison!  I actually find him cute 🙂 When he starts to talk he reminds me of Crocodile Dundee.  He told me that he lives in Cape Town behind the mountains with 4 horses and he just jumps on one when he wants to go somewhere 🙂  He goes around the mountain to get to work which is around 20 minutes away

peter-allison-07.jpgpeter-allison-011.jpgpeter-allison-014.jpgpeter-allison-012.jpg

I love this slide which I saw in the last presentation of A to A 

peter-allison-013.jpgpeter-allison-015.jpg

Peter’s talk was not the usual sales or marketing talk, but he showed us photos from his safari adventures!  It was very interesting because he knows about animal behavior.  We probably will not be able to tell what animals are doing when we take their photos, but Peter knows and has a story behind every photo he takes 

peter-allison-016.jpgpeter-allison-017.jpgpeter-allison-018.jpgpeter-allison-019.jpgpeter-allison-021.jpg

One day, I am going to take my own photos and tell my own African Safari story….. one day! 🙂 and who knows, maybe Peter Allison will be my safari guide!  Woohoo!

 Peter is also a famous author

San Antonio Village

By | Homes and Interiors | One Comment

A few months ago we saw this very interesting building in San Antonio village, a few meters away from where VP Binay lives 

san-antonio-village-01.jpeg

We saw this sign so we decided to look and inquire just to see how the inside looks.  Notice the stairs leading up high- apparently it gets flooded in the area 

 san-antonio-village-02.jpeg

What a unique structure 🙂 

san-antonio-village-012.jpegsan-antonio-village-013.jpeg

Altar in the ground floor, I assume this is already the lobby of the building 

san-antonio-village-014.jpeg

Entrance to a unit which is a studio 

san-antonio-village-05.jpeg

Kitchen to your right 

san-antonio-village-03.jpeg

2 Bathrooms to your left – one for the toilet and one for the shower- it is just a wooden sliding door 

san-antonio-village-04.jpeg

The living room and bedroom 

san-antonio-village-06.jpeg

Another unit

san-antonio-village-07.jpeg

2 bedroom which looks like a gigantic bunkbed with two levels 🙂 

san-antonio-village-011.jpegsan-antonio-village-09.jpegsan-antonio-village-010.jpegsan-antonio-village-08.jpeg

Another residential building across the street

With a cute bakeshop
