The Enrique Zobel field at the Manila Polo Club was all aplomb with Manila society’s best of the best to celebrate with Paul and Shark and La Confrérie de la Chaine des Rôtisseurs first Polo Cup. I was honored to have been invited to be part of this wondrous event plus I got to live my...

I had a wonderful “date” yesterday with the PR and Communications manager of Brand Gateway (Rudy Project’s mother company in the Philippines), Shauna Popple. She also gave me such a wonderful gift which I totally melted for! See, I didn’t know that Rudy Project also...

  There is no greater teacher in life than the experience of traveling. Whenever I travel, I’m presented with the gift of learning, exploration and epiphanies about myself, other people and the world in general. To make a point, my latest epiphany is to never push travel plans when...

You know those quotes na madalas pino-post ng mga taong “inlab” pero medyo nawawala na ang “lab”? Yung tipong mga quotes na feeling nila eh inaaffirm ang mga kagagahan, ma-martiran at ka-ululan ng mga tao sa lovelife nilang medyo on the rocks? Eto ang isang example:...

Summer has officially started and it’s pretty evident with the heat we’re feeling in the city. This also means that we may want to lay off the heavy lotions that were our staple during the cold spell last year but that doesn’t mean we lay off it completely! I personally...

We all have our own dragons to slay – dragons that haunt, terrorize and make our hearts beat out of our chests for fear that one day, they may just actually come out from their lairs and consume us whole. We also have our demons to contend with. The dark vessels of evil that whisper...

A couple of years ago I was called up by my very good friend Pam Miras and asked if I wanted to be part of her new movie, which was the silliest question because anything she wants me to be part of, I am so there! I’ve known Pam for ages and we’ve been through a lot together...

Let it be said that I absolutely adore shoes. If I had a bigger closet, I would rather have less clothing and more shoes. With the influx of more shoe brands here in the Philippines, we are finally seeing beautiful shoes on display that are not just footwear but are also pieces of art....

It’s inevitable. Being a true blue Pangasinanse means that I am woven into the fabric that is Pangasinan and all its beauty, legends and splendor. I have long been fascinated by the stories my grandmother and great aunt used to tell me about the santelmo, kapre and other legends. I was...

When it comes to swim wear, Speedo has always been the first choice and this year’s Spring/Summer collection shows exactly why they’re the top brand for fashion and athletic swimwear! The fashion show had real swimmers from the Philippine team strutting the runway along with...

Fresh from their success of their very first movie together, Xian and Kim light up the silver screen once again with the romantic comedy Bride for Rent. When I saw them onscreen together for the first time, I told Kim that she should be doing more comedic roles. Her timing is impeccable and...

How often do you find yourself in a situation where your expectations weren’t met and you “settled”? I often found myself in these situations before where I’d just shut up, eat what was served and think to myself “andyan na yan eh” Don’t get me wrong,...

My ten year old daughter has painted toenails. Dark velvet blue for one foot and a stark bright yellow on the other. She got the inspiration from me when I had contrasting colors on my toenails as well. Toenails that were lovingly painted by my youngest son. This same daughter who pours all...

So, what does a 38 year old single mom do everyday? Same thing that she does every single day: She takes care of business, her family and does it while she is looking absolutely fierce and fabulous. Just this weekend, I organized and coordinated a birthday party for a really good college...

This is the start – another year for each one of us to make new changes and hope that this time we won’t screw up as badly as last year. I had my fair share of troubles and despair last year and though it was really tough, I’m still grateful that everything happened when...

It’s a running joke between my family and friends that every time I have a birthday, there’s something catastrophic that happens. There was that birthday when the jellyfish attacked a power plant, an earthquake, a typhoon, hospitalization – you name it, it happened. So, I...

This post is sooo late, I don’t even know where to begin. But it’s here now and I’m more than excited to talk about Sandbox. About a couple of months ago, I joined a raffle contest on Ms. Daphne Paez’s blog and I was one of the lucky ones to have won the Sandbox prize!...

I’ve always loved hosting events and especially kids’ events. I think after being a mom, I loved it more. I was always the “fun” cousin with my younger cousins every holidays and now, with my own kids, it’s even more of a passion. I recently hosted the Robinsons...

It’s that time of the year again! Soon enough we’ll have people asking if you collect stickers and if you’ve got your planner yet. It’s almost like a tradition now to have a Starbucks planner and have a taste of their holiday specialty drinks when Christmas comes...
