I woke up bright and early today and was really psyched to have an excellent day! It is Palm Sunday and we all decided to hear the 7am mass. When I travel to a new destination, all my senses are on a high level. I try to take everything in and generally get inspired.
We walked to the church and the weather was so wonderful! Think sunny skies but with a gentle breeze to accompany it. Let me show you how I started my day.
Wandered about the hotel and saw the breakfast room. Simple, quaint and lovely.

I came accross this video of a live-mix-acoustic medley of Lady GAGA hits by this guy called Sam Tsui. I think it is brilliant! He should audition for American Idol! I LOVE IT! I want to watch Lady GAGA again! I hear she will be back in March, but this time in Japan! Time to save up!
Enjoy the video! It made me clap at the end of it!
HUGS! RAJO!

I never thought that one day I could actually say “EAT ME!” and actually have someone literally do it! I have been blessed by the fact that I get so many presents during the Christmas season but this gift coming from my bride Anna Sandejas was too cool for words! She had my face from my blog printed on tiny white M&M‘S!!! How cool is that! I was beyond thrilled! It came with my name and my company name of some candy as well! This gift really made my day! TEE HEE!

HUGS!

What I love about Christmas is that so many friends from all over the world come home to celebrate Christmas. There is nothing like a Filipino Christmas! We just know how to celebrate this important holiday like no other race on the planet!
I recently had the pleasure to join a super chic homecoming dinner for one of our dearest friends Noel de la Rama! Noel has not been home for more than a decade. He resides in New York and is a personal chef for super famous people. Currently, he is the personal chef of Mr. Dustin Hoffman! Noel is like my own personal Zagat guide, giving me tips on the latest, hottest, best eats in New York City! Apart from that, Noel is really one great guy! We all love him!
He decided to surprise his best friend Junie Rodriquez with his home coming! Tita Fe (Junie’s Mom) was in cahoots with the whole surprise! The evening was an immense success! The meal was lovingly prepared amidst the most chic environment! Tita Fe & Junie are really my personal lifestyle heroes!
The Rodriguez's Christmas tree!
Junie was visually surprised with Noel's arrival.

Each year I look forward to Divine Lee’s Christmas Party! I love going to her Christmas parties because it is always fancy dress up and everyone, as in, EVERYONE is game!
This year, the theme was Cowboys and Indians! It was a riot! Divine and her angels transformed her apartment into the wild wild West! OMG! The details were incredible, cactus plants, play horses and a gigantic TEEPEE! I came in as Boss Hoggs from the Dukes of Hazzard while Nix came as an Indian Chief!
Divine as the ultimate Bingo girl! Here she is channeling a modern version of Mae West! LOL!
Indians and Cowboys galore!

I recently had the opportunity to have dinner with Mr. Ernest Escaler. He is one of my personal idols and I was more than happy to comply to his invitation. The dinner was in honor of our friends Artus Concepcion and his partner Jonathan Richter. They are spending the holidays in the Philippines.
Ernest is our Chairman of the Asian Cultural Council. I sit on the board and he has really influenced my thoughts on philanthropy and art appreciation. He prepared a sumptuous meal composed of ingredients that he grew himself! How many of us can say that? After the meal, he toured us around his beautiful home filled with the most incredible art. I really enjoyed the evening, as it was one of those super intimate dinners. Hope you’re all doing well!
Ernest is in the center being flanked by Artus, Nix and Jonathan.
We started the evening by enjoying the cool breeze of the Philippine december air. I wish it was the weather was always this agreeable.

My goodness! It’s like I am on a party overdrive! LOL! I certainly love the holidays, it seems you never run out of parties to go too!
My most recent one was an Asian Cultural Council Christmas cocktail party hosted by Patrick Reyno. It is always such a joy to visit Patrick’s pad, as it is like going to a museum! LOL! No wall is left bare! Every available surface is decked with the most modern voices in the South East Asian art scene. Patrick is one serious collector! I am just happy to be invited! Just being there ignites my creative juices. The party was short and sweet as we all had other affairs that evening! No rest for the wicked!
LOL!
Jon-Jon and Manny! I like Manny's shirt, wonder what it is?
Anton, Mia and NIx!

Ever since I started blogging, I have been slowly following other blogs. One of my favorite blog/magazines is called “The Swank Style“! I just wanted to share this with all of you as the articles they produce are very smart and super interesting! They give me a heads up on the local art world and this is always good. I suggest you all pay it a visit and be inspired!
HUGS!
