Great Deals at Rustan’s Supermarket and Shopwise!

By | What's New at Rustan's, What's new at Shopwise? | One Comment

I find myself going back to the store almost 4 times a week just to check out the great deals!!  And they are not the BUY ONE TAKE ONE deals on slow moving or non interesting stuff.  The items on promotion are really GOOD items that we really use at home!!  So I am busy throughout the week going to Shopwise Pasong Tamo, Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Expresslane.  I found out that San Antonio Express lane has different promotions just for their store.  So you can imagine me making my rounds among these three stores and hoarding them to take advantage of the great deals!!! I GO CRAZY!!! 🙂

An Evening of Music

By | Entertainment | One Comment

Suharto and Manoling organized an evening of music … I thought it was a great idea!!! Imagine we had our own private music /entertainment!  A nice way to spend time and enjoy with friends! Thanks to Manoling for providing the venue and the drinks

 Before everyone arrived, it was just Nikki, Juan Miguel and us and Juan Miguel asked me if I knew how to play the piano and sing – he made me sit there and test the sounds and piano….only to find out that he is the one who knows how to sing and play the piano!  It was a revelation to us that evening 🙂 So he warmed up the evening…..Juan Miguel reminds me of Martin Nievera a bit when he sings and moves 🙂

Suharto brought Kate Torralba to sing…apparently she is a very good musician aside from being a fashion designer!

The Brazo Bomb

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | 2 Comments

I am so happy that there is a Vargas Kitchen now in Rustan’s Supermarket Rockwell and Makati!  I see a lot of people tempted to have something and they do not even think twice and just pass by to get their slice of buttercake or take out a whole cake! It is strategically located at Makati store since it is right after the checkout so you can get some before going home

p1110208.jpgp1110210.jpg

My all time favorite Brazo de Mercedez in the whole wide world is from Vargas Kitchen.  I have been eating that since i was a kid when Lola Mameng would serve it!

So when I saw this, I immediately bought a piece and tried it! YUMMY!!!!!!!!

This is Fe, the one who prepared our dinner with her assistant Mary.  I made sure she came out so we could meet the person behind the very good dinner.  James was teasing Newton the whole night that he will pirate Fe already!  🙂

Lotte Ice Cream

By | What's New at Rustan's, Yummy! | 5 Comments

Oh my gosh!! I got excited when I saw this new freezer in Rustan’s supermarket!!!! I memorize almost everything in Rustan’s supermarket that when I see something changed or something new in a section- I KNOW!

I saw the brand Lotte which to me is Japanese but the characters looked Korean- apparently there are some made in Korea.  I was not able to buy any as I was in a hurry but will definitely try them next grocery trip.

They are priced cheaper than the frozen delights in the Japanese groceries which are around P 66 or P 88 or even morep1110187a.jpglotteprices.jpg

New Balance Power Run

By | Giving Back, Sports | One Comment

Another one of our friends who always makes sure to give back to society…Anton Gonzales!  I noticed that every year he has something to benefit an organization.  Heart2Heart admires people like this and will definitely always support worthy causes!  Thanks Anton!!

From Anton:

It is on its 8th year now and we wanted to do something very substantial this year to assist the three Cancer organizations the best way possible.  If you recall, we have had fun runs for Carewell the past few years.  This year, our big run will benefit them directly along with our other two cancer beneficiaries.
