Midnight Mercato Centrale

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

For those nocturnal creatures out there, there is something super exciting that will surely whet your palette and fill your bellies with love!  I am talking about the most fascinating  night market to hit our metropolis!  This is called Midnight Mercato Centrale!  The weekend day market now has spread its wings to include those who can’t wake up too early!  LOL! Brought to us by the great minds of RJ Ledesma and Anton Diaz is a food market like no other.  I, myself ,have been lured to its labyrinth of luscious  goodies that I could hardly say no when asked to be one of the people to cut the opening ribbon.

I arrived just in time, as minutes later, the cutting ribbon “crew” all line up to welcome everyone to the special opening!  It was quite funny how the cutting ribbon crew was like sooooo long!  I mean it was almost  long enough to vie for a Guiness book worthy world record!  LOL!

The longest cutting ribbon line I have every seen!

I mean everyone was represented!  Showbiz, Politics, Fashion, The Diplomatic core,  Socialites, Glamazons!  They were all there!  I mean you have to leave it to Rj and his super Mom the forever youthful Fortune Ledesma to gather everyone there!  It was amazing!

THE ACCP AUCTION!

Monday, February 8th, 2010

This weekend for me was all about art and culture!  It all began with the setting up of our Asian Cultural Council of the Philippines (ACCP) Art Auction!  This was the very first time that we putting something like this up so we were all very anxious and exctied!  The whole event was quite difficult to mount but all these challenges are really super worth it as the benefits are really immeasurable.

We had the auction at the Finale Art Gallery! I love this space!  I want to live there! LOL!
