Another world-acclaimed musical is put on a spotlight at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila with the staging of "The King & I." We were able to watch a preview of the show last Saturday and here's why it's a must-see when it opens on September 15: - all star, talented cast led by Miss Saigon veterans Monique Wilson and Leo Valdez essaying the roles of Anna and the King - fantastic costumes designed by Rajo Laurel - fabulous stage and set designs. Here's a picture I got from from that day's press preview. Not so close up because we ... Continue Reading...
Swiss food festival at The Peninsula Manila slated on August 2 to 11
I have a confession to make: the lobby of The Peninsula in Makati is my favorite of all the hotel lobbies in Manila. It may not be the newest or the grandest (because the threat of something grander than the other will always come along), but there's just something about it which takes me to another world. Something here which makes me want to spend afternoon tea with my closest friend.

Pnoy SONA 2012: all ready
Everything's set for President Aquino's report to the nation later.Storm Ferdie exited the country already, but there will still be no classes in some Quezon City public schools which are in close proximity to Batasang Pambansa, the venue of the President's speech. This annual event is such a big deal, and even fashion watchers regularly await what the women legislators are wearing ( related question: will Shalani Soledad show up?) The State of the Nation speech is still a mystery up to its time of delivery but there are already some things to expect. According to ... Continue Reading...
’tis the season for polka dots
Polka dots is something I associate with the New Year. In the past, silly old me would end up with a top or dress (make it a frumpy house dress) with polka dots in them, along with jingling coins in my pocket at the stroke of 12:01. As the oldies would say, no harm in wishing yourself good luck. Now it seems polka dots are no longer a New Year thing as designers go in full gear to make them the trend this season. Starting with Yayoi Kusama for Louis Vuitton. Dropping by the Newport Mall this week, I was lusting after the Furla bon bon bag. I like Furla ... Continue Reading...
