Fresh from our SKETCH afternoon tea in London comes another opportunity to have a tea date with my lovely princesses back in good ol’ Manila. We love family dates but girl time is also important because we get to share silly secrets & squeal delightedly without inhibition -you know, with the boys frowning at us in the background because of all the giggles & ruckus we make! 😛

Off to tea & twinning with my lovely mini-me! Sayang wala akong K mag off-shoulder! Hanggang off-neck lang umabot, trololol. Ano sa palagay nyo, ibaba ko na ba ang bandera??

When it comes to taste & ambience, nothing beats afternoon tea at the Writer’s Bar of Raffles Makati. Sketch was a once-in-a-lifetime experience because, betcha by golly wow, it was SO expensive! To be honest, Raffles Hotel Makati delivers the same thing at fraction of the cost. And right in your own backyard too! 😉 Hindi na kailangang mamasahe papuntang London.

Happy girls are the prettiest. Off to a good start. In great company at the Writer’s Bar, Raffles Makati surrounded by all things lovely & beautiful. Tea with these 2 is always a good idea. <3
Color of the day: Tiffany Blue on my ring finger. 😉
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but these 2 are my forever bestest! <3

Good news for blushing brides these romantic months of August & September! Raffles Makati and Tiffany & Co. join hands to present the perfect wedding experience for would-be couples in a series of initiatives themed “Will You?”.

Extending the collaboration, a luxurious “Will You?” Bridal Afternoon Tea has been specially created and will be offered exclusively to couples who purchase a classic Tiffany® Setting engagement ring and a Raffles Bridal Package from August 1 to September 30. The couple will be able to invite 8 guests to experience the bespoke “Will You?” Bridal Afternoon Tea which offers beautifully delectable bridal and Tiffany-inspired sweet and savoury treats along with freshly baked scones served with a glass of Champagne.
The timing for this partnership is perfect as Tiffany & Co. celebrates the 130th anniversary of its classic Tiffany® Setting engagement ring this year while Raffles Makati launches its new and elegant bridal packages.
As a couple culminates their romantic journey from engagement to a celebration of matrimony, Raffles Makati proposes bridal packages that are in keeping with the elegance and stature of the iconic hotel brand. Raffles has a storied history with its first property opening over a century ago. Three Bridal Packages are offered to choose from, namely: the Classic, Deluxe and the Prestige. A wedding at the Raffles Makati incorporates pre-wedding preparations from food tastings to overnight stays to photo shoots. On the big day, a Raffles wedding reception includes special additions such as the bridal car, floral arrangements, stage design, string quartet, photo booth, dedicated butler, special wedding cake, indoor confetti, among many other interesting services and amenities aimed to personalize each bridal affair.

Meanwhile, malayo-layo pa ang tanong na “Will You?” ng panganay ko. I want her to focus on med school first, so no Tiffany & Co. ring for you muna Ate – unless it’s coming from me! 😉

That’s right, single blessedness first before double happiness. 😛 You still have plenty of time for that, Ate. My sweetness deserves nothing, and no other, but the very best, so make sure the prince who will sweep you off your feet can give you not just a beautiful wedding, but more importantly, a Godly & love-filled marriage that will last you a lifetime -and then some. 😉

Last month, just before your Euro trip, I stumbled upon your blog while googling. I couldn’t stop reading, and back reading at that! Immensely readable, relatable, funny, informative, and yes, heartfelt – all your posts have these qualities. The Euro trip posts have definitely the Pinoy flavor and flair – kuha mo kiliti at Pinoy humor, pramis! Medyo mahaba na back read, but I am almost done; and updated too with your new posts. I have been meaning to try the Raffle’s Writer’s Bar ever since it opened, but it is hours away in traffic arggh. At pwedeng-pwede talagang ibaba ang bandera! At dahil sa posts nyo, feeling kilala ko na talaga your pretty/handsome, charming, life-loving fambam, the GOppets!!!
There are only 2 Pinoy blogs that I check most of the time, yours and one professional writer. The one thing that makes you different from others is that you make us, your readers, want to meet and be friends with you.
Keep on writing please. I know you put in time and work on your blog. Your blog is also therapeutic to me, so thank you for also making my world a fun and healing place.
July 31, 2016 at 4:46 amI am from Q.C., and will only make one of our seldom trips to your side of town today, Sunday, for our daughter’s football tournament at the Country Club. I hope to meet you one of these days, di naman ngayon (as in now na! jowk). I do a lot of writing also, mostly professionally, but I have an old blog that I hardly update. Thanks again for your posts!
Oh wow! <3 Happiness naman itong comment mo Gilda huhu. Nakakataba sa mataba ko nang puso, pramis. Thank you for making my Sunday! I live for comments like this. At least alam kong may nagbabasa at natutuwa naman pala sa pagsusunog ko ng kilay gabi-gabi lol. May kausap naman pala ako, thank you for confirming hehe. And please, do email me when you're coming to the south again. I'm not a member of ACC BUT! Dakilang social climber ako kaya makakaharbat ako ng ride-on for our snackage & coffee. I would love, love, LOVE to meet you & thank you personally for making me happy! :-* Kiliggity talaga ako. Hope we can be friends, you seem genuinely nice. Mwah!
July 31, 2016 at 6:52 pmSuper love your photo with your twinnie! AND the staircase, too!
August 2, 2016 at 9:51 amThank you meding. :-* Ang sikreto para hindi malaglag.. KAPIT, BAYAN!
August 2, 2016 at 10:23 amThank you for acknowledging and replying to my comment. Ayan, tagal ko naman mag comment ulit, apologies. I had to concentrate on some submission deadlines. Finishing my back read of your posts is way more fun than laboring on written arguments, but huhu tumambak work kasi. The ACC multi-purpose field is humongous! We were there for the Ceres-La Salle Umbro Football Cup, quarterly daw, parang nakakapagod yata. Yes, am back to enjoy your posts!
August 13, 2016 at 9:50 amYehey quarterly!! So babalik ka. Please mesage me naman so I can meet you & your daughter. 5 tumbling lang kami from ACC haha. Have a nice weekend, wag masyadong subsob sa trabaho. 🙂
August 13, 2016 at 11:04 amYes, will do inform you. Happy weekend din kahit maulan.
