Manny & Jinkee & Paris & Charice

Posted on May 9, 2011 by CVS

For once I didn’t feel like getting into Manny Pacquiao’s fight at all. Isn’t it a given he’s gonna win?
It was Mother’s Day and my son’s birthday.
Had lunch at Nanten and a really nice bowl of tendon.

Followed Manny’s fight on Twitter until it was done.
Hardly anyone tweeted about Charice singing the national anthem. She sang it flawlessly, thank God, while her dress was sort of pumi-Pippa Middleton. Like her makeup.

And then there was Paris Hilton who tweeted tons about her excitement to be there. It makes you wonder what her motives are and who paid her.

She came with her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Watts

But was she really into the fight?
Chanel gloves

Lip gloss

Out of body experience

Many tweeted how Jinkee was glowing that night.
Candy Dizon took note of her jewellery while Rhett Eala took note of her Azzedine Alaïa dress.

After the fight and Manny’s victory, there were many photo ops with Paris Hilton and we can honestly say Jinkee looks better than Paris

Nicky Hilton looks better than Paris

Now the question is: What was the motivation?

Cute lang how she stoops down for the picture.

Mango season!

Posted on May 7, 2011 by CVS

I love fruits, but I’m not always lucky when I buy them in the supermarket.
Especially mangoes. I used to buy them because they look gorgeous and yellow. But they don’t always turn out as expected and go to waste.
Turns out our cook Lydia used to be a mango vendor in the market. She said people in general don’t want to buy green mangoes, so they have this method to make them turn yellow fast, in order to sell them. The yellow mangoes are a disappointment because they’re not sweet.
My friend Lorraine sells mangoes from Zambales. They come in a box of 16 and you can pick them up in the San Juan area for Php 550/box. The same product sells at S&R for Php 700+.

You have to wait for the green mangoes to ripen and soften before you put them in the chiller.
So instead of drinking Coke on these hot summer days, I have a mango for breakfast and merienda. It keeps me from eating chips and soda. Plus my kids love them!

To order, text 0922-818-0606.

Lindsay Lohan and Sale at Kira Plastinina

Posted on May 7, 2011 by CVS

Young Russian designer Kira Plastinina recently launched her Spring Summer 2011 collaboration with actress Lindsay Lohan called Kira Plastinina for Lindsay Lohan.

“I perceive Lindsay as one of the most stylish and vivid It girls of Hollywood. I feel like we have a lot in common in terms of fashion,” said Plastinina.
The designer was so inspired by the partnership that the line ended up being much bigger then originally planned.
The line is targeted at active young women who are not afraid to be at the center of attention.

Lohan said, “The line is definitely something I would love to wear. I was really impressed by the way Kira expresses herself through her designs. I love styles that underline femininity but still leave enough space for self-expression. She is obviously a very talented designer and I am very pleased that I took part in the creative process.”

After styling the ad campaign, Kira remarked, “I think Lindsay is an amazing actress with a great personality. After working together I can tell you for sure that Lindsay Lohan is a very hard-working professional.”

Kira Plastinina for Lindsay Lohan will be out tomorrow, while the Spring collection goes on sale.
Take 30%, 50% and 70% off sale items.
Kira Plastinina is on the 3rd level, Shangri-La Plaza Mall and 2nd level, SM Megamall B.
