Congratulations to Ton Concepcion on another successful race!!  Ton told me that last year there were around 2,000 plus  participants, this year it almost tripled to around 6,500. WOW!!! I could not recognize anyone in the crowd due to the thousands of people running!  And I apologize for the poor photos as I had a hard time shooting against the sun so i had to edit some photos and then they became blurred. I gave up for awhile but then went back to the finish line to meet the 21k runners who i thought deserved to be greeted in the finish line!  Congratulations to everyone who joined and helped make this a successful event!

Tired of the usual offerings of the metro? Looking for something hip with a slice of posh? If you’re craving for a sumptuous dinner over good conversation, then Aquaknox restaurant in Makati is the place to go.  With their delectable array of seafood cuisine well renowned in Beverly Hills, you can have a taste of 90210 right in Makati.  They had just opened two weeks ago and have recently started opening for lunch a few days ago.  

Thanks to Danny Vu and Natasha Morse who decided to bring one-of-a-kind Vietnamese concoctions savored by Filipinos here and abroad.  Their signature dishes, “Cua Rang Moui Toi” and Bong’s Vietnamese garlic pasta are sure to be hits among diners.

 “I’m pretty confident that seafood lovers in Manila will savor our uniquely sumptuous dishes and fall in love with it,” says Danny Vu, Executive chef and managing partner of Aquaknox  restaurant.

Another brand of frozen yogurt!! I saw it while driving down Ortigas Ave. last year and then now they have a branch in Paseo Center.  This is my sister Margs’ favorite brand because she says it is more tangy…Two months ago, I went to get some and even took home some

Of course I bought a pair of GB sandals during Walk the Green Mile to support Haribon Foundation and the event….

…and because I loved the sandals and flip flops of the whole line! Hmmm…..it was hard to choose which one I wanted…they were all nice  

Then finally I decided, I wanted this!!

because I wanted to feel like I was Giselle :-)  

But it was not yet available, so I got this which I truly truly love…the fit and I still sort of feel like Giselle..so I guess it’s okay :-) Perfect for the summer…will buy another pair for me and my Mom
