I remember Bulgin and Lils house being behind walls and I could not even see where the house was, so when we went back a year later, we definitely did not miss the house. BEAUTIFUL! I told them it reminded me of a Palm Springs home The architect is Franklin Mariano who is the uncle of Lils….. …but everything inside is done by Lils. She told me that she picked each and every single thing inside the house and took charge of every single detail that was done inside the house A beautiful and very valuable vintage Baccarat chandelier Den Bulgin’s Burago car collection Master Bedroom Two Bedrooms Stairs leading to the attic Which is Bulgin’s playroom :-) More height!! The dining room window facing the pool My favorite part of the house Pool area..soon we will be having wood bricked oven pizza by the pool…watch out for that here in a few months! :-) 
Heart2Heart loves colognes and is so happy that we have many choices nowadays and even locally made!
Remember my friend, Michelle?
If there is one thing we have in common…it is our love for colognes!! So as soon as she released her product, of course I bought some immediately!! My favorite is Hierbas and Hoja
She is the creative person behind Nueve Colognes, she formulates them and she designs everything for the product

We celebrated Tito Totoy’s Birthday! This is the 77th already and looking forward to more and more! So far, we have not missed one every year since 2007. Thanks for always making us a part of your family. We love you all!
We admire Tito Totoy for being a very simple gentleman!
He was so happy and proud he was wearing a vintage Tag Heur watch 
Apparently, it was a watch James sold to Suharto twenty years ago when we were still in London. Then somehow Suharto sold it to his brother who sold it to his father ( Tito Totoy ) Looking at it now, it would be nice to buy that watch back - but Tito Totoy will probably not sell it because he loves it!
We had Korean food this time in one of the popular restaurants since we can remember - Korea Garden. Still YUMMY as ever!

BANANA REPUBLIC FALL 2010 ESSENTIALS Cool down then warm up with Banana Republic this fall season, as we anticipate the transition from warm summer months to cooler times ahead. Women can set themselves up for great fall pieces, in a range of browns and neutrals set in steely and soft blues. Key items include embellished tops and essential skirts that are effortlessly modern and easy to outfit around. A soft print of painterly geometrics and watercolor florals dominate the collection and serve as the identifying look of the season.
Men can update their wardrobe with short-sleeve tops knits and novelty wovens in cooler, transitional colors – pieces are grounded blacks and denim, accented by navys and cool blues. Pieces for him then warm up with long sleeve mock neck and full-zip sweaters. Graphic and logo printed tees round out the collection, all in deep burgundy tones and Tabasco hues.
BANANA REPUBLIC FALL 2010 COLLECTION Effortless strength. Understated cool. These artful juxtapositions inform the fall 2010 collection which revolves around contrasting textures, thoughtful tailoring and effortless modernity. With each piece possessing enduring versatility and limitless opportunities for mixing, the line creates the perfect canvas to display one’s own individual style. “Today there‘s no separation between what we wear to work, to play, to unwind,” notes Creative Director and EVP of Design, Simon Kneen. “For fall, a series of opposing pairings—masculine shapes with feminine details, utilitarian essentials with tailored finery, romantic touches with military classics—creates a modern energy that suits every time and place.” This multifaceted vision is evident at every angle, from the alluringly tactile materials to the fluid palette and inviting silhouettes. Cargo and military shapes are reduced for her, transformed into lean, graceful shapes. Each piece complements the next: skinny pants and sleek leggings give comforting pieces a citified finish while textured wools warm up cool silk separates. Elongated cardigans drape close to the body and softly structured skirts graze the thigh, while jersey blazers layer with ease. Lithe belts, leopard accents and suede boots add playful punctuation. With the same refreshing approach, fits for men have been cleverly mixed, pared down and transformed into softly structured shapes. Formal slim stretch wool pant paired with casual washed cotton woven shirts serve as the ideal foundation for autumnal essentials including the tailored item blazer, dapper sweaters and smart wool coats. Suiting is trim in fit and primed for layering. Utilitarian classics like the cargo pant, desert boot and cadet jacket are elevated to timeless designs when reinvented and rendered in the soothing hues of olive, grey and deep charcoal.
Banana Republic is exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Casual Clothing Specialists, Inc. (CCSI), a subsidiary of Stores Specialists, Inc., and is available at Greenbelt 5 and Rustan’s Department Store Makati.
