Justine Handbag by Jimmy Choo

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Seventies cinematic icons continue to inspire the Jimmy Choo Spring Summer ’12 Collection. Think AnoukAimée from the film Justine with her sultry glamour and insouciant style. The direction is decidedly sporty, loose and manifests in ‘Justine’, a new bag with unstructured slouch appeal. 

The craftsmanship of Justine reveals an attentive hand, with traditional artisanal stitching and piece work with each bag requiring more than two weeks to finish. The subtle “bombé” padding technique around the flap is a luxurious detail that softens the edges and creates texture while drawing attention to the distinctive hardware, a slip-lock inspired by a gold lipstick case.

The Justine bag is designed with an unzipped front pocket, variations of which expose a hidden flash of textured python in bright colors of yellow, coral and emerald. Other more opulent options are made entirely in matt and shiny crocodile in Klein blue, acid yellow and violet.

A French Carnaval for Alessi

By | Celebrations, For kids | 4 Comments

Another breathtaking party by my good friend, Grace!  This girl is truly amazing in organizing and creating memorable occassions!!  How she transformed the ballroom and how she put together all the details of her party.  The contents of the Patisserie were even bought abroad and she put them all together to come up with the theme.  All the moms ( especially me )  were the ones raiding the Patisserie of Alessi 🙂

Happy Birthday to the little Princess, Alessi!

A Gifted Man

By | Entertainment | One Comment

I saw this TV series this morning and loved it instantly!  I have only seen the first episode.

I was a Grey’s Anatomy addict and for those that fell in love with Mc Dreamy, I think you will love Dr. Holt even more! I don’t really watch too much shows and TV, but I will be following this.  I predict transformations happening to this very handsome doctor 🙂

Javier Loves The Red Crab

By | Celebrations, Foodie | One Comment

Javier loves crabs!  And whenever Mom asks him to choose a restaurant, he always chooses RED CRAB!

Good thing I captured those moments as proof 🙂

red-crab-birthday-030.jpgred-crab-birthday-028.jpgred-crab-birthday-029.jpg

On his birthday last year, we went here again

and he discovered the chicharon bulaklak which he likes too

red-crab-birthday-032.jpgred-crab-birthday-033.jpgred-crab-birthday-034.jpg

OH GOSH!

This year, he chose Red Crab again

They offer so many kinds of ways of cooking for the crab.  They are all YUMMY!!  Problem is they are all fried!  So i asked the waited which one is not fried, and he said that they can just steam one for me so that is what I ordered!

Getting ready for the crab

I actually got some of the garlic from this prawn dish and used it for my crab

red-crab-birthday-021.jpg

Here is my steamed crab which was just as good without all the garnishings!  YUMMY!!  But of course I chose the female which probably negated the healthiness of the steamed crab

Daddy loves crab too!

Thanks Tita Pam for the birthday cake!

Your Baby’s Cord Blood The Gift of a Lifetime

By | For kids, Great Inventions, Health and Fitness | No Comments

 I wish they had this technology when I had my two sons.  My sister told me about this when she had her third daughter and she enrolled 7 years ago.  In fact, her storage is still in Singapore and I had mentioned to her that they already have  storage facilities here.  She says they will fly it over if ever.  For future Moms, I highly recommend this

Mission Its Possible

By | Celebrations, For kids | 6 Comments

Many years ago, I told janet that she should be a party organizer!  I am so happy that she is one now! 

Previous entry:  ( Click to go to link )  Christiana is 1 and Joshua’s  4 March 17, 2008 

Educare Celebrates Halloween October 20, 2008 

A Wacky Sports Double Birthday Bash  March 8, 2009

Educare Celebrates Easter April 11, 2009 

I recently hired Janet to organize a small party for Javier’s birthday.  He wanted to just spend time with his friends so I thought that something supervised would be better than just them trying to figure out what to do or they might just end up playing videogames. 

mission-its-possible-03.jpg

Janet will work with you on what your kids like and she will create a unique and one of a kind experience for the kids.  She is really amazing!  She is for me a “boutique” party planner because she will really taylor the whole party of your child

I heard she did a 39 Clues party for our friend Nicole so I thought that something similar to that Javier would like because he is very playful and needs to keep moving around!  So we did  a Mission Impossible theme taken from Tom Cruise’s movie 🙂

 220px-missionimpossibleposter.jpg

She even made the invite for me! 

mission-its-possible-invitation.jpg

While waiting for the kids to arrive, they had some snacks and they had to make it themselves! 🙂 

mission-its-possible-041.jpgmission-its-possible-01.jpgmission-its-possible-02.jpg

Janet turned our basement into a lab!  After eating they did some science experiments which they really enjoyed

Janet’s super loveable and cute son Joshua, helped his Mom and is part of the team! 

mission-its-possible-040.jpg

Then they had to train for the mission.  With the help of Janet’s husband, N.E.D., he was in charge of training the kids and preparing them for the mission

 The kids were grouped by 4s and were sent out on a mission to look for the treasure.  Each clue led to another until they accomplished the mission

The treasure!!!

And were give some gadgets as their giveaways

Star Pressure Wash

By | Great Inventions, Homes and Interiors | 7 Comments

About 10 days ago, I went out of the house, looked at our driveway and called my husband and asked him if our driveway will ever go back to the way it was before we renovated.  There were cement in between the bricks and it was very very dirty from the construction. I was feeling bad because I thought the driveway was beautiful.  

About 3 days after I had mentioned it, I received a message from Charry Tulio.  She told me she and her husband, Roy, had a new business which she wanted to promote.  Oh my gosh!  This is a true story and this is proof of God answering my prayers 🙂  

After a few days, Roy came over and worked on the driveway for maybe 2 to 3 hours!  This is Roy!  He himself is the one doing the cleaning with his gadget! 

star-pressure-wash-024.jpg

Here is Roy working so hard and scrubbing away 🙂 I had to leave him that morning to go to work

When I got back from work, I could not believe it!!!  This year is definitely a year of TRANSFORMATION!!
