The Ice Cream Bar by Fruits in Ice Cream ( FIC )

By | Foodie, What's New at Power Plant Mall | One Comment

A few weeks ago Heart2Heart had to have her favorite QUEZO ice cream!  So, it was a good time to try it at the new Ice Cream Bar of FIC.  Aside from ice cream, they have snack food too.  Need to go back to try the whole experience.

Serge’s Gardens

By | Hobbies, Toys for the Big Boys | 3 Comments

Have you ever wondered what the Ex-Senator has been doing lately?  

  dsc_4957.JPG

We were so surprised to discover his new found hobby and passion.  GARDENS!  The highlight of which was the English Garden in front of his house. I have never seen any like it in Manila.  It was so beautiful with all the flowers.  Tito Serge researched and worked very hard to create this garden.  Majority of us probably appreciate gardens but we normally just hire landscapers to do it.  But Tito Serge is different, he really chose each flower and plant and designed all his gardens himself.  Amazing!! 

Thank you Tito for sharing with us the beauty of nature through your gardens!  

Heart2Heart is so proud to feature and share this new found hobby of Tito Serge.

Tito Serge showed me all his books on gardening.  He has 45 books! I was so amused because he was so excited to show his books.  I overheard him saying that his gardens are his therapy.  He feels relaxed whenever he looks at his gardens.

By | Hot Off the Press | 7 Comments

Thank you Tita Lina for sending me a copy of your beautiful book.  This is the second book on Victoria Lopez de Araneta written by her family. How I wish I had met her!  She must have been a great woman.  

What a grand gesture to dedicate and document the lives of the people who we love and admire.  

I am so proud to say that I am part of this family…..  We all share the same value of LOVE for GOD, FAMILY and for our COUNTRY!  We really need to live up to our family who have been great examples to others.  

Tita Lina, I hope that your book will inspire many others and many future generations.

Sakura

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Whenever in Subic with Dad and Mom, Sakura is a definite stop.   They have good japanese food and an extensive menu. They have a branch in Araneta Coliseum near Starbucks but it is called Sachi.   (Taken from the website of Araneta Coliseum):    

sachi.jpg

Sachiko Hirano’s Sakura Restaurant at Times Square in Subic, has a good following despite its distance from Metro Manila. It attracts people who seek authentic Japanese cuisine at its finest. Recognizing this, Hirano decided to put up a branch at the heart of Quezon City, Araneta Center. “Same quality, same management”, Hirano says. Like its Subic counterpart, Sachi at the Coliseum Circle offers excellent wasyoku or traditional Japanese cuisine, like sushi, sashimi, tempura, gohanmono (rice with topping), noodles, agemono (deep-fried items), yakimono (grilled foods), nimono (simmered dishes), teppanyaki (dishes grilled on hot iron plate), nabermono (one pot dishes like sukiyaki and shabu-shabu), Japanese style steaks, desserts and other house specials prepared by executive chef Tadashi Noda and his staff.

My Best Buy from Royal Subic

By | Finds, What's new at Shopwise? | No Comments

For the plastic organizer addicts out there, I found some great plastic containers at Royal Subic.  They only cost US$ 1.10 ( 4 pack rectangular ), US$ 1.15 ( 2 pack large size ) and US$ 1.35 ( 4 pack square).  That is much much cheaper than the organizers in the Japan Home store where everything is P 88.00 and these come in packs of 2 and 4!  They come in different colors, if I remember correctly – they had orange and neon green aside from the black, white and pink that I bought. I am going back to BUY MORE!!! I am obsessed with these things even if my things are still messy and maybe might not even have things to put in them 🙂
