Back to the Rebranding Event.

So for our rebranding event, I decided to work with 8 of the country's top designers. 

Martin Bautista

JC Buendia

Eric delos Santos

Jun Escario

Dennis Lustico

Rajo Laurel

James Reyes

Vania Romoff

They made gowns of all gold and all green. Here's what they came up with. 

I love all of them and I do thank you all for being so generous of your time, talent and support. Your friendship means a lot to me. 

For the hair and make up, I went to Jing Monis Salon. I have not had the chance to work with Jing before but a few models gave me their input about how they love to work with him. I am so glad that I did because they were so professional and got exactly what I wanted for the models. A special thanks to Mafae who coordinated with me for this event. 

Here's what the models rocked their hair and make up. 

Watch their campaign ad here. 

Sneakers of MK.

I only have one pair of sneakers. I really don't know how to wear them. I feel so short when I do. 

I know only one person who's obsessed with them. I follow her on Instagram and she has about a dozen pairs. To me, they all look a like but when she describes them, you know how much passion she has for them. I do wonder if she already has Michael Kors sneakers. 

Anyway, Ann Jacobe, this one's for you because it reminded me of your love for sneakers.

I am attracted to all things shiny and gold. Maybe it's the jeweler in me. 

When I checked out the YouTube feature on MK sneakers, I thought that they were pretty darn cute. If only I had that model's height and weight then everything would be easy as pie. 

This is something I can really wear.

Michael Kors is available at Rustan's Department Store. 

Peninsula Moments.

When Steffie asked if Liam could be part of the page boys for Peninsula Moments, I instantly said yes. 

I knew for a fact that Liam would not be a problem to work with. In fact, he loved his page boy uniform so much that he didn't want to take it off and even wore it the very next morning to show to his Lolo. 

But of course, as a stage "mama," I realized that it's quite expensive to be a manager. You see, I was the one who took care of everything to make this picture perfect. 

I went to Podium to get his hair cut. Robby Carmona told me that BenchFix is a good salon so I wanted to try it out. Unfortunately, when they opened at 11 am, the hair cutter/stylist is not there yet so the only place that was available was David's Salon where Liam was given a K-POP hair style.

After the hair cut, I was informed that he needed to be in black school shoes. Liam isn't in school yet so he doesn't have one. So off we went to the mall to buy him one. But yaya forgot his favorite toy at home and he cried until I promised him another toy which escalated my expenses even more. 

Sigh.......

At the end of the day, I am so happy that Liam did everything perfectly. He behaved and was so adorable in that uniform, perhaps so adorable that Anne Curtis even posed with him for a photo! 

Now about Peninsula Moments..... 

Watch what it's all about here. 

A pool party was thrown for loyal friends and clients of Peninsula Manila. The set was amazing. 

Half of the pool was covered by the stage where ribbon twirlers and Ms. Bituin Escalante performed. It is also where 30 page men, women, boys and girls came on to accompany Ms. Sonja Vodusek, GM of The Peninsula Manila.

The food came pouring in and so did the happy liquid. I was happy with my virgin mojito that Mr. Javi Testa got for me. Thank you for always taking care of me. 

The seafood delight was all over the area but I was too excited for Liam to even eat anything. 

But of course, I had to have this. Your very own cold cut platter with cheese. 

But before you even get to the poolside, this is how the guests were welcomed. I truly love the green carpet and the lined up page boys.

Sonja Vodusek-Vecchio and her loving husband, Anthony welcomed Mother Naty Pappas, Dennis Lustico and yours truly to the party.

Loved the coordinated purple patterns of Anthony! 

Mother wore the most beautiful jade necklace I ever made. 

Anne Curtis also wore her own Jul Dizon necklace perfectly.

Mr. Bryan Yap and your bloggerina pose for a photo! 

5 Layers of Goodness.

Janina wanted a 5 tier cake with all her favorite cakes so Andreas Vienna Pastry Art did exactly that. In addition to her choice of flavors, Chef Andreas put on each cake milestone photos of the couple and the kids on edible chocolate! 

The great thing about the cakes? It's beautiful, delicious AND no styrofoam!! Haha.

Goody, The Spa and Beyond Yoga.

When Jenna Sy of Goody offered me and a few friends of mine, a day of relaxation at The Spa. I was so happy. Bonding with my Joy Luck Club while getting a massage? What could be better? 

Well there's something that makes it better.... Beyond Yoga asked me to invite a few friends of mine for a complimentary ZUMBA class!! Isn't that perfect? First we get our bodies extremely painful from the Zumba class and then get a massage afterwards. Perfect.

Beyond Yoga has 2 brances. One at QC and one at the Fort, where we went. 

Before the torturing started, we posed for a photo with Sharon Yu, the Zumba instructor who is licensed to make a dancer out of a rock. 

Goody prepared a Zumba kit for all of us. How awesome is that?

Yeah, we tried to follow her steps and movements but only 3 were truly successful, which is why they got a prize from Goody!!! 

Cassandra Yap, best student. 

Ylaine Co, best learner.

Best of the best, my daughter, Jacqueline.

After an hour of hip hop, cha cha and the mambo, we were too tired to stand up for a photo. 

And so our aching bodies (but in a good way) walked over to heaven called The Spa Wellness. 

They were ready for us. 

My Joy Luck Club with my 2 girls are so happy with their own Quikstyle brushes from Goody.

After a delicious snack fest given by Jenna Sy, we had a game. The prizes were too good so it was game on for all of us.

Grouped into 3, the game was to style the hair of a group member without using a brush. Guess who won? With this magnificent hair style, of course this would win first prize!! Just so happens that I did it. Ahem ahem.

And then it was off to lalaland. 

Thank you so much Jenna Sy of Goody, Monica Eleazar for Beyond Yoga and Linda Tan for The Spa. You sure know how to spoil the spoiled brats. Hihi.
