I am trying to help my friend, Winny, meet more clients because I think that he is very talented. Winny trained in Rever Academy in Hong Kong and was awarded Outstanding in Men’s cut and Ladies cut and double exposure. He used to work in Sensei Salon in Manila Hilton and among his clients were Melanie Marquez, Maria Resa and Korina Sanchez. He then tried to have his own parlor with a partner but it did not work out so now he only does home service. He can do hair and make up. I have not tried the make up yet but he has been cutting my hair for the past 2 years already. And Winny is a very very kind and soft spoke person, I really like him.
He charges only P 500.00 for home service but of course will appreciate additional tips if you like his service. What I do is I try to gather as many people like my sons or my Mom so his trip is more worth it.
If you want to try Winny Kitalig, give him a call +63-929-622-8479. He will be so happy. I told him to expect calls from my friends 🙂
I treated Mom to a haircut by Winny and she is of course a better model than me 🙂 And Mom is happy, this is her second cut already by Winny since I introduced them to each other

A TRIBUTE TO “LA PISCINE” – DAZZLING SUNLIGHT AND RARIFIED SENSUALITY
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO PRESENTS SPRING/SUMMER 2011 ADV CAMPAIGN
BY MIKAEL JANSSON
For the Spring Summer 2011 advertising campaign, Ferragamo reiterates its link with the Big Screen through images shot photographer Mikael Jansson that reinterpret the seduction and bohemian spirit from the classic French film, “La Piscine”, the source of inspiration for the season’s collections.
The story is told through a series of poolside images that convey sensuality and seduction. Dominated by summer sunlight, the photos evoke the type of languid, luxurious summer holiday expected of the Salvatore Ferragamo jet-set couple.
Just as in Jacques Deray’s 1968 film starring Alain Delon, Jane Birkin, and Romy Schneider, the campaign shots describe a sophisticated poolside seduction, with the natural allure of the protagonists’ tanned bodies, the lazy spontaneity of utter relaxation, the casual elegance of a cocktail at sunset and embraces in evening attire before a part on the beach. The feeling of this refines summer holiday is distinctive through elegant details and looks pit together with nonchalance and ease.
Supporting roles are played by Ferragamo accessories; bags with natural textures, sandals in leather and raffia, ultra-flat slave sandals, bijoux like talismans, exclusive wristwatches and stylish sunglasses, icons of the Brand. Impeccable summer elegance in ivory and white with touches of navy blue for him, while she favors an eclectic style that combines bohemian elements with ultra-chic pieces – crocheted knits, silk mini-shorts, safari jackets, gossamer-fine flounced dresses and knotted headscarves.
Stylist Anastasia Barbieri worked with Mikael Jansson on the campaign, shot in
“Mikael’s images exactly mirror the inspiration for the collection: a sophisticated woman with the natural taste for luxury,” said Massimiliano Giornetti, Creative Director of Salvatore Ferragamo. “A fascinating man near a swimming pool where the characters play out their lives…the flawless blue of the sky and the vitreous colors of summer… Slow, relaxed movement… The search for beauty without compromise…Rarified moments of timeless elegance interpreted magnificently by Daria Werbowy e Clement Chabernaud, and impeccably captured by Mikael.”

Javs and I have found OUR place 🙂 I hardly have the chance to pick up Javs from school so last week when I did, I took him for merienda. Mike has been telling us about this place for so long and finally we got to try it. Though it took the place of Healthy Kitchen which we also enjoyed
Previous Entry: Healthy Kitchen December 3, 2008
It’s a very casual place, also very small and can sit a few only
My cute date 🙂
The condiments on the table plus hand sanitizer to disinfect your hands before holding your sandwich 🙂
We asked the waiter what the bestsellers are and he said, The Pilgrim, The Buffy, Roast Beef and Reuben
We chose the roast beef to share, this is how it came. You can upgrade your chips to double fried french fries and a soda for P 95.00 so that is what we did
Up Close! The ciabatta was super fresh, crunchy and so so good!! We really really enjoyed our Roast beef sandwich.
We actually preferred the homemade potato chips…make sure to dip it in the garlic sauce and chuck’s sauce. Since Chuck’s sauce is spicy, I mix it with the garlic sauce to tone it down- goes perfectly with the sandwich and with the chips!!
After our merienda, we suggested to take Dad here to try the sandwiches, so a few days after we were back! We took up half of the restaurant already 🙂 It’s a good thing there are many choices to cater to each one’s taste
The Philly Cheese Steak was Tammy’s favorite while James and I prefer our bread to be heated and a bit crunchy, Chuck’s hoagie was soft
We got to try the burger also
and the onion rings
The Reuben was what Mike recommended and some of us liked it too! YUM!!
Ramon ordered The Buffy. It looked so spicy for me, but Ramon said it was not but it was very rich according to him
Since Ramon ordered only 1/2 slab, he did not take the Challenge 🙂
James ordered a caramel milkshake and he said it was really good!! He told us already after the meal! So, hopefully we get to try it next time
We did not get to try the desserts anymore
