Here are some highlights from the May 25 event. A big thank you to Ayala Malls' Greenbelt 5 for donating the venue and to Margarita Fores' Cibo for sponsoring the food. I didn't bring a camera so most of my photos are from my phone. The smaller shots are from the official photographer of UNICEF ( Read more... )

Last Wednesday I put on my high heels and left suburbia to attend the launch of a new credit card -- Blue from American Express®. I have to admit, it was my first time in Republiq. Okay laugh now. You all know I'm not a night owl. But I made an exception for this as I am always on the lookout for credit cards that give a little love in return (I ( Read more... )

Last night I made the effort of going out. I have to say that I have been very lazy and preoccupied the past four months.... since Christmas. Social events were and still are a big effort for me. I think that's the effect of living in the south. And I'm not even in the far south. But last night, Ingrid and I committed to attending the Forever 21 ( Read more... )

Last Sunday, after hearing this I had to continue with my work as planned. Literally, the show had to go on. I thank my friends Miriam Quiambao and Xeng Zulueta for the company and comforting words. It's good to be working with friends.

Thanks for appreciating one of my Daphne chairs. A few people have asked me about the size of the chair. This photo basically shows the scale. It's technically not a slipper chair but it has a smaller dimension than a regular dining chair. I would use it as an accent piece even in the most modern room.

Event season has started, at least for me (did it ever take a break?). Since I got back I've hosted two big events. I've been invited to a few more but missed them. One the LV Trunks & Toys Cocktails, I missed because we had no light and water at home so we upped and checked into the Marriott. The other events, I simply can't keep up (read: I have ( Read more... )
