Martin and Leica’s Wedding in the Tatler!
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011Leica and Martin’s wedding is in the new Philippine Tatler! I just have to share this with all of you because there is this photo inside that is just too precious! It is the one where the flower girls are all looking in one direction. I think it is just really heartwarming. I miss my dear friend Leica and I cannot wait to see her again. So having this come out is timely because it brings back so many memories. Enjoy the pics!

The Welcome Dinner!
Wednesday, November 17th, 2010If you have been following my blog for a few days now, you know that the reason I am in France right now is for the wedding of my dearest friend and muse Leica Carpo. Since friends and family flew in from all over the world to be here, Leica and her fiance’ Martin Argosino, hosted a welcome dinner in one of the most cinematic restaurants I have ever been to!
.

Raymond drove all the way from Italy with his wife Anna, coming back alive but with some seriously scary getting lost stories. Here he is with me and Amanda!

We went back to the hotel and started the floral committee ! This was more or less of a do it yourself wedding and we actually did most of the stuff ourselves! Ana was amazing as she did the best floral bouquets!

The store has a lot of really elegant things!

Bumped into my Fitness guru Wawa Feliciano her husband and the lady who owns the store Mrs. Sally Navarro.

Leica’s Wedding Meeting 1
Monday, May 10th, 2010My dear friend/muse Leica Carpo is getting married this year and I, for one, am so excited for this! We recently had our first “bridal”meeting in my studio and had so much fun in choosing her colors and theme.

Nix joined our meeting and all of them tried on some hats that we will be giving out to the guests. Just the ladies of course! LOL!
PASINAYA!
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The weather that day was wonderful! The sun was out and the breeze was strong; a really excellent way to spend a Sunday!

Bright colorful ribbons decorated the entrance of the CCP; it lent a fiesta feel to the event.


Loving this slogan! I wish the CCP could have the PASINAYA twice a year!

Leica came with me and I had to make her pose with the streamers! She is such an AMAZON I tell you as earlier that day she ran a 42K marathon! Jeesh! I was like you can still come out after that? I would have DIED!

Outside the Nicanor Abelardo lobby you could watch several dance troupes perform. I believe this one was the Lahing Kayumanggi Laguna dance troupe.

I could not dare miss the Madrigal Singers perform that day. They performed song numbers requested on their website. It was RIOT, I tell you! I could not imagine how they could sing "Noboby-Nobody But You" with such elan and elegance! I detest that song but the Madz made it passable! LOL! They are the best chamber singers we have in the land!

The main lobby also had dancers performing the whole day from 8am to closing time! The whole CCP was alive that day and it felt so wonderful just being there.

A full house indeed!

Costumes were on display. This one I believe is from the Ramon Obusan collection.

We then proceeded to the Bulwagang Juan Luna where they had the BAKAS exhibit. An exhibition showing 40 years of work by the Print-makers Association of the Philippines!

I loved this! Mona Lisa with the Panuelo and Kamisa!

This one really moved me! I want to make this into a print for my clothes.

A close up of an Olazo print that moved me.

The BAKAS exhibit is still ongoing till a few more days so please come and catch it.

An early print by JOYA. The date says 1958, which was the year he was a grantee of the ACCP! He was one of the first grantees from the Philippines!

Then we went to see some student art projects from the 2009 PAEA children's exhibit.

I want this one really bad! I am reserving this na! It is made by the students of Xavier. They were all done by 8-year olds!

Close up shots! It is so inspiring!

I took a person beside it for scale!

I really really really really really want this one!

More student art work! Impressive, no?

More work from the students! This is so cool!

Then we went to see the Labfest excerpt at the Tanghalang Huseng Batute. An excerpt from the play "Ang Huling Lektyur ni Misis Reyes."

The character Misis Reyes was so good. I had a teacher like her in High School! I mean she got it down 100%, from the hair-do all the way to the pant suit! The excerpt was really amusing!
Loving LU!
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009My girls Leica, Kitty and Amanda decided to have a long Sunday brunch. I took this opportunity to finally try out LU at Rockwell! I was so excited because a couple of my readers (NAKS!) wrote me their suggestions on what to order.
When I walked in, I saw that the place was abuzz with customers and we were led to our table. The owner Luis Terry was there to greet us and gave us a big hug! I really appreciate it when the owners of restaurants are their because this really makes a huge difference. After Luis explained the menu, we decided to have a bottle of bubbly to celebrate the holidays! (As if we needed any other reason?! LOL!)

The menu was well conceived and very tempting! It's all like foreplay!

We started wit this yummy appetizer sampler plate which was really good! The hummus with the eggplant was divine!
A Day with Leica!
Monday, November 9th, 2009One of my best girl friends Leica Carpo was going to be with me in NYC ,but it was just for the day. I had to fly out to California first thing in the morning so we only had one day to bond. I love traveling with Leica and have done so for the last 5 or 6 years. She has so much energy and she simply inspires me. We started out in the meat packing district to meet up in one of our favorite stores, Jeffrey. We both love this store as the merchandising is really excellent, one just has to scan the racks and you can really feel the best of the season is right there for the taking. LOL! We then headed to the Martin Margiela store which is always so inspiring. I love the way this brand thinks, it’s one of the most intelligent designer brands out there, bar none.
After that we took a cab to Soho to check on more stores and have a cocktail at the Mercer Hotel. I have so many sweet memories of this hotel as I stayed there once. My super highlight of the trip was taking a photo of Leica and Nix with none other than… JOHN GALLIANO!!!! OMG!! He was having cocktails there too and Nix ran to me and nervously said, “It’s John Paul Gaultier!” John heard him and he said, “Actually, it’s Mr. Galliano!” LOL! Jahe level 98! Good thing Mr. Galliano was in a good mood and he gamely posed for a photo with them.
I really love the Mercer hotel, you see so many wonderful people there! If you’re here in the city, have a meal or a drink at this hotel. I guarantee a celebrity sighting! PROMISE!

I love this shot! Here we are around the west village.

It was a really lovely day!
