Ever since I can remember, Hong Kong has been my party town! Because it was so close to Manila, my grandparents would take us here on quick trips and have the best time! They did not have Disneyland then but they did have the Ocean Park! LOL! I think I may even have those photos of me in the cable cars! Gosh, I think I even have those dreaded plate photos that everyone has but secretly detests! I swear if I see mine, I will definitely hide this in the deepest crevices of our bodega banished as evidence of bad taste and or judgement.

My best friends Robby Carmona and Bob McCubbing decided to join me and Nix in HK. An extended weekend of my birthday party and to get some retail action! We all had a great time! Although I wish that I could have slept more because towards the end of the weekend, I was already running of fumes so to speak. Anyhoo! here are some great shots of us while still “fresh” LOL!

The last part of the segment was from Russia! This time Bench tapped the designer Michael Cinco to design the clothes and costumes for this part of the show. Michael Cinco is very famous for his use of beautiful crystals and I for one was so excited to see his show for the first time! The segment opened with some high priests and then some real Russian (ballerina) dancers who were a bit weak for me, but none the less they looked great!
The Russian segment opened with some high priests.
then some Ballerinas came in.
I am still reeling from all the exitement, energy and JOY from the BENCH UNCUT show last night! I have seen all the major shows of BENCH and I can definitely say that this was the ABSOLUTE BEST SHOW that BENCH has ever ever ever had! The show’s theme was “A bold look at the future”, in a sense it was what Bench would be like in 10 years. Globalization was where Mr. Ben Chan , who is actually one of my personal idols in the industry, would be taking his company!
These were the hardest tickets to get. The Stage this year was made so big that there were far less seats than the years before. These were literally like golden tickets! I was really so blessed and fortunate to get one.
I woke up to this view! I was happy that the sun was out!
When I was planning my trip to Singapore, I asked my friends for some tips on what is new and what is cool to do. A lot of them told me that I should try the Tippling Club. It is a what I would describe as a Gastro-Pub/restaurant/food laborarory. I was checked out their website www.tipplingclub.com and I got really excited and booked a table. I asked my dear friend Scho Parpan-Richardson to join us. I have known Scho for more than 10 years and she is really one of my favorite girls in the planet!
I like the graphics they use.
There is always something about high tea and jewelry that just go perfectly together. For the launch of my ring collection for F&C Jewelry, we decided to have high tea at Restaurant CiÇou. CiÇou is a beautiful french restaurant located at the boutique hotel Celeste. I invited members of the press and a bevy of my girl friends for a really fun afternoon of tea, jewelry and well, cute boys! Teehee! I presented the rings together with the cutest and hottest models we have in Manila! I thought that it would be a really novel idea.
High tea food! YUM! Everything felt so ladylike!
The gracious host of the evening, Mrs. Mary Ruffino, whose aunt Chito Madrigal-Collantes founded Karilagan. Together with one of the most loved fashion designers of our time, Aureo "Tatang" Alonzo.
