A Whole Lot of Sweetness!
Valentine's Day usually spells out headache, disaster, empty pockets and road rage for my family, based on experience.
This is what I wanted to avoid. Taken on Feb. 12, Friday.
So I decided that for VDD (Valentine's Day Dinner), we have it at home, potluck style! Valentine's Day is not only about lovers, to me, it is purely about LOVE and cheesy as that sounds, the night surely radiated a lot of it.
Ginny and I decided to do the styling of the party place so early in the afternoon, we went to MACRO. It wasn't full and the lines to the cashier was short but this really bugged the hell out of me! I don't know why they have to check each and every single one that you buy after you have paid for it. It sucks MAJORLY!!!
The whole afternoon was spent by making MANDO the staff on what to do. We are so good at that. BWA HA HA!! (semi-evil laugh). This is how it turned out.
We set up the projector so that we have a dine-in movie.
The flower pots were our giveaways to the ladies.
AG and I were in charge of, what else, desserts. He made cheesecake, chocolate dacquiose with raspeberry and banana topping, chocolate brownies and mango pannacota. I bought choconut, cookie crunches and fruity bubble gum. Chef Arno added the finishing touches. I had 2 Austrian Pastry Chef's work on the dessert. How can you beat that? Let me answer..............you can't.
Here's what our corner looked like.
Here's my sweet delicious weapon.
In my Facebook, I told everyone to wear slippers and house clothes because I wanted it to be comfortable and easy but of course, I ended up wearing my AMcQueen shoes!
The very first guests were Macky, Bernard and Cara. They were super on time. They brought super delicious paella. I didn't take photos of the food because I was busy entertaining. Hay sayang.
Justine and Webster came next. She made seafood pasta in olive oil. YUMMY!
Anne demanded a kiss from JC. Now that's what I call unconditional love!
Cedric and Dennis arrived together but Dennis got really passionate with someone else. He wouldn't leave his side. He even went under the table while Dennis was eating dessert!!!! SHOCKING!!!
We tried to stop him but it didn't matter. He wanted to get kinky with Dennis no matter what!
Here's the BEST part of dessert!
Check out the video on my next post!!
LOVE TO ALL!!!

Jul B. Dizon on Lifestyle Asia.
My family is so touched. We were looking through this months' issue of Lifestyle Asia and we were all teary eyed. Whenever I see her photos with her smiling, I just hurt so badly.
Thank you to Anna Sobrepena for this feature.
Missing you Mumsy!!

Farewell to Alexander McQueen.
40??? That is way too young for someone to leave this world, especially on purpose.
Read about it here:

Glad I was able to buy these shoes a week before this incident.
Farewell Alexander.

Calling All Oessie! (Part 2)
A few things that caught my attention were this chocolate bar with "I LOVE YOU" on it. With Valentine's being so near, I asked AG to give me one and lo and behold, this funny packaging holds the creamiest Belgian chocolate with hazelnut! It's not cheap (P115) but splurging on a bar of chocolate is allowed once in a while.
A shot of schnapps which all the whiteys took before leaving was fun. They were dancing and singing this song and then down the drink went. Since it is a farewell shot, it is free!!
The coasters! As we got settled and were talking amongst each other, it always felt like someone was staring at us.
These are flowers that the kids picked up from the ground. I have never seen anything like it and it made really cute shapes! Love the color too!
And now, the speise (food)!
So after Chateau Hestia, we went to Cliffhouse to have dessert. We met up with CJ and Lucille who couldn't make it to our early dinner at the Chateau. We talked about how beautiful the place was and so after dessert, we went back to the Austrian restaurant for more beers and wine! AG was more than happy to give them a tour.
If we loved it during the day, we equally love it at night when the stars were all so close and bright. The weather was even more perfect and the ambiance was uber romantic.
Johannes and wife, Maria, were more than happy to see us even stating that it is the first time it has happened. A return customer in less than 3 hours.
CJ loved the beer so much that he bought the whole keg! Put it in the car and told us to take care of it as if it were his newborn!
Austrian owner of Chateau Hestia Johannes Zehethofer.
CHEERS to good friends, family and the Austrians!
Open Wednesdays to Sundays
