Colegio Del Buen Consejo Batch 1988 with our dear teachers It's been almost two weeks, but I can still feel the excitement in my nerves.  Last July 14 our Batch celebrated our 30th year.  I really consider this a once in a lifetime event, maybe my other batch mates feel the same way also.  Some of my classmates even flew to the Philippines just to attend our reunion. The Backstory: The reunion was supposed to be in April of 2018, but since we all wanted to accommodate the requests of some of our batch mates now based abroad (who wanted to attend the event) : it was moved to July. Initial talks about the reunion began last February (2018) during the Grand Alumni Homecoming of our school - Colegio Del Buen Consejo. The first committee meeting was held in May 2018. The Committee: The reunion committee was headed by Gretel Garcia-Yadao, our Overall Batch Director and Alumni Coordinator and Liza Paulino - President, Batch 1988 Pearl Anniversary R...

We often pass by this place on our way home... the parking is always full.  All the while I thought they only offer crepes.. (because of it's name).  But one Sunday after mass when we passed by their resto in White Plains, there is still a couple of parking slots left so we decided to have our breaky there. :) Wasn't able to take a photo of the facade of the building because it was drizzling outside but when we entered the restaurant... it was lovely!♥ Love the concept... As I browse their menu... they don't just offer crepes. What we had... Chicken Caesar Salad Paysanne Angus beef savory crepe Chicken Tocino Boneless Bangus Baked Sole with Dijon Mustard Baked Salmon Pork Zurochoise Pesto Cream Carbonara They don't only serve authentic French savory crepes: they also offer all-day Filipino breakfast, salad and pasta dishes.  And our faves were: Pesto Cream Carbonara - yes we are a ...

Hello everyone! It's been more than a month since my last post..  Yes, I am busy again as usual I have two events in line : one of which was 10 days ago. It's a milestone... my parents celebrated their 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary.  We (my siblings and I) wanted to surprise our parents with a simple and intimate get together with our immediate relatives only. And yes it was a success!  We were able to pull off the surprise! (*wink!) Upon months of searching for the right venue: first and foremost it must be homey, cozy - and Conti's Katipunan was a perfect choice. It was a couple of kilometers away from our place... And of course food is superb... (which honestly did not disappoint our guests). Charlie's Pritchon The CAKE: of course it must be Estrels♥  Me and my sister did the styling My niece helped us paint the mason jars... well its was really a DIY table center pieces... Truly a labor of love of my parents...

source: Google It's been a while since my last post... Yes, I hibernated for a while, been busy with my work and online boutique.  But with this recent collaboration got me jumping and can't wait to share my thoughts about it, so grabbed my laptop and started writing. (I drool..) I do love handbags and of course Hello Kitty so with Furla's new collection: made my heart skipped a beat.  (I can't purchase a new bag at this point in time... I recently got a new ride and I can't... oh my.. sigh).  I am sure all those who love bags and Hello Kitty would be totally excited about this collection as much as I do. The collection consists of bag charms/key rings, cosmetic pouches, coin purses, card holders and their iconic Furla Metropolis mini bag with Hello Kitty patterns.  To view the whole collection you may visit:  https://www.furla.com/hellokitty I am loving everything... but my picks are the Furla Kitty crossbody Toni petalo and Toni Ruby;...

It's been a while since I posted an entry... I've been busy during the holidays but I won't miss sharing this.  High school was really one of the best times in our lives.  Yesterday was our school's Grand Alumni Homecoming hosted by Batch 78.  2018 is also memorable to our batch because it marks our 30th year. Nostalgic!  Seeing old friends , classmates, batch mates, teachers and mentors you grew up it.  We all enjoyed catching up with each other, dancing and singing our hearts out as the band played our favorite songs.   It was an endless day of smiles and laughter... Good hormones, good vibes and positivity flying everywhere...♥ Kudos to Gretel, Abei and President Siops for the effort!  It was a success! Everyone went home smiling!♥ See you on our 30th...
