Heart2Heart loves real life models 🙂 I spotted three cute little girls ( Kenzie, Tanya and a little girl I saw at a bday party ) wearing the latest DVF for Gap Kids. This seems to be a popular design 🙂

After coming back from Korea during the Christmas season, I was inspired to have Korean food and this is what i prepared for Sunday family lunch with a mixture of other Asian dishes
Chapchae
Yum Yum Melona! The green melon is still the best but still bought others to try!
No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.
No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
Money is not yours until you spend it.
When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Can you get it back? It is too late.
How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs. Hoarding wealth without a capacity to enjoy is like a bald man collecting combs.
No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.
I like always planning ahead and working in advance. I think that planning for Christmas is always an advantage for me so I do not panic and stress out during the busy holiday. One of them is ordering cards and gift tags. I know some printers give discounts and specials if you order before the Christmas season, so take advantage
Last year we received these cute Christmas cards from our friend, Michelle Rufino- Bartolome
Apparently she has a personalized printing business called Carousel with her partner, Ana de Borja-Araneta
She is always adding things to fill up her gigantic home
Nice old dinnerware in her collection
Bulgin’s books
They are so religious!
Wifi in their house
All their kids are named after characters from the bible- Daniel, Joshua and now the latest Luke
Lills prepared a birthday lunch for our dear friend, Rachelle, since she knew she would not be able to make it to Rachelle’s birthday celebration. It’s a good thing I joined because I could not make it as well! Happy birthday to our dear friend, Rachelle
Rachelle requested for Filipino food. What a good idea! We even took home what was left over 🙂 Thanks Lills!
Of course Lills always starts out with a prayer – and she loves me because she had a special intention for me that day 🙂 She prays that i will be able to manage my busy schedule haha!!
Birthday celebrant, Rachelle ate a lot!! 🙂
Lills’ cook, Arnel! Arnel prepared our meal and in full chef uniform 🙂 Lills is lucky to have Arnel

Tod’s celebrates the Salone del Mobile, renewing its collaboration with the world of art and design.
“Looking at Tod’s”, the project where world famous architects interpret the shop windows and the brand’s philosophy of excellence, continues with a new concept,exclusively developed for this edition of the Furniture Fair in Milan by Studio Nendo, winner of the Wallpaper Design Awards 2012.
With the new window concept for Tod’s Milan Boutique in Via della Spiga, renowned architect Oki Sato captures the simplicity of the purest design and the elegance of the materials used, creating the magic of a language that has no need of stylistic devices to charm and surprise.
For the architect Tod’s values, strongly linked to the tradition of craftsmanship and of Made in Italy, and the constant research on styles and materials, become a challenge and a philosophy to be shared. As Oki Sato states: “Tod’s is a brand that truly respects the traditional techniques of the skilled craftsman. At the same time, they are open to new challenges and different ways of thinking. This gave us the freedom to explore new ideas respecting the Tod’s philosophy, which was both exciting and relaxing at the same time”.
The result is a shop window that, throughout the materials such as the classic vacchetta leather and steel, both symbols of the brand and common to all the Tod’s boutiques worldwide, celebrates beauty in its simplest shapes with a strong effectthat revealsand enhances the Tod’s Spring/Summer 2012 collection, including Tod’s iconic D Bag in an array of fresh colors for the new season.
Diego Della Valle, President of the Tod’s Group, celebrated the event hosting an exclusive cocktail party at Tod’s Boutique in Milan.
Among the guests who enjoyed the event personalities from cinema, economy and entertainment, such as Diego, Andrea and Emanuele Della Valle, actors Daniela Virgilio and Edoardo Natoli, tv personality Cristina Parodi, photographer Giovanni Gastel, entrepreneur Luigi Abete, fashion icon Anna Dello Russo, photographer and blogger Micol Sabbadini, socialites Virginia Galateri di Genola, Valentina Scambia, Federico Floriani and Talitha Puri Negri, designers Oki Sato and Felice Limosani, and many others.

Mart and Sam had a great idea to have dinner at Casa Roces by Malacañang Palace. Heart2Heart loves adventures and trying new places!
They have private dining rooms which were the rooms of the old house and converted to dining rooms. I forgot to ask if they have a different menu for this area
And they have Kape Chino on the ground floor

MICHAEL KORS OPENS FIRST FREESTANDING STORE IN SPAIN
NEW YORK, May 24th, 2012 – Michael Kors is pleased to announce the opening of its inaugural store in Spain. The glamorous single-level space is located on Serrano, Madrid’s most prestigious shopping boulevard, an ideal setting for the Michael Kors brand to reach its jetset clientele.
The 2,700-square-foot shop, at Serrano 32, features both the Michael Kors and MICHAEL Michael Kors ready-to-wear labels and Michael Kors and MICHAEL Michael Kors accessories, including handbags, small leather goods, footwear, eyewear, watches and fragrance. The signature Michael Kors collection, known globally for its luxe sensibility, has been specially situated in its own exclusive area overlooking a beautiful garden. The boutique, designed by the company’s in-house interior design team, will maintain the same chic aesthetic—clear acrylic nesting tables, zebra benches, polished metal finishes, mirrored surfaces and large-scale vintage artwork—found in the company’s other stores worldwide.
“Madrid is a fantastic city and I’m so glad to be a part of it,” says Michael Kors. “It’s got fabulous culture, great food, and the nights go on forever. Our clothes and accessories are perfect for the lifestyle—classic and cool, sexy and energetic. I can’t wait to see how our clients here will mix Michael Kors into their wardrobes.”
“We knew that when the time was right to open in Spain it would have to be in Madrid,” says John D. Idol, CEO of Michael Kors. “It was just a matter of finding the right location. We’re well-situated in an area renowned for its great variety of luxury shopping and the Michael Kors brand will be a strong addition to that mix.”

NEW YORK May 3, 2012 – Michael Kors is pleased to announce the opening of its first Michael Kors Lifestyle boutique in Taiwan in Taipei 101 Mall. Located in a landmark skyscraper in the XinYi district—the heart of Taipei’s luxury shopping and dining area—the new store is in an ideal setting for the Michael Kors brand to serve its jetset clientele.
The 2,800-square-foot shop features accessories from both Michael Kors and MICHAEL Michael Kors labels and ready to wear from the MICHAEL Michael Kors collection.

Of course Taiwan is an essential part of any growth strategy in this region of the world so we’re thrilled to be opening our doors here.”
