When I was diagnosed to have acid reflux (Health is Wealth  November 29, 2011 ), I discovered from many friends and family that they had the same problem!  It is such a common thing now which is probably due to the kind of foods available now and the lifestyle we have.  Mostly everyone would recommend Nexium, Motilium, Tums, Zantac etc etc

Then I stumbled into this article of Tita Bettina and was happy to hear about a natural means to treating acid reflux!

To all my friends who have acid reflux, there is another solution you might want to try!

Congratulations to Ron and Lau on the birth of their second daughter, Reese.   Looking forward to the third which will hopefully be a boy

 Love her name, Reese, which I thought you named after Reese Witherspoon and Ralph Lauren!   And super love the theme of your party!  Reese is adorable!!

And to the birth of your other baby, the Active Fun Building!  :-)  The baptism celebration was held here at their latest business venture which is located in their building off Fort Bonifacio High Street

There are different floors and there are seven (7) function rooms where you can hold your private parties

Pao and Trina called us to come visit them over at the Maxim’s Hotel at Resorts World!   So we did!  We wanted to see the hotel and of course be with them too

We went to Opus for some drinks.  It was a Tuesday so it was 80’s night with Boyet Almazan.  We were early so not that many people yet which was good for us. I love this Faberge egg looking chairs 

Since I don’t drink, I tried their boneless buffalo wings and Trina had iced tea!  We get along

My third request from James and another investment aside from

Previous entry:  Sub Zero December 5, 2011

Previous Entry:  Mattress from the Four Seasons Hotel January 6, 2012

was the garden.  As we were rushing to move into the house after 18 months renovation already, I requested James that if we move in, I wanted the garden to be finished.  And it was a good thing I insisted on this because it makes a world of difference!  We don’t have green thumbs and don’t really know about gardening, but it was important to us that we have a nice garden that will surround us.  Thank you to Timmy

and Marcia ( with her Chihuahua in pink  ) who put together our garden!

To appreciate more how it was transformed, I am showing photos of the before and after

Front of the house - I heard that our neighbor put these trees so that it would match their frontage

We removed it and then changed it to Buddha belly bamboos.  I like it because it gives some sort of privacy instead of placing a wall

Side of the house

Changed to this

Another view, I found it a bit messy having different kinds of trees in one area

Now

The other side

Now

The main garden from the Balcony of the living room

And now  It’s just so soothing for me to come home and see this

Another view BEFORE

AFTER

Close up on the wall. James had them remove everything.  At first we were thinking of just adding, but then James just removed everything and started from scratch

We are waiting for the bamboo to grow more leaves so that we can have full privacy from the neighbors

This was the wall before we stripped off all the plants

The back garden BEFORE

AFTER!

I love the pink flowers growing on the tree.  And take note of the round balls around the garden.  So beautiful when they are lit at night.  James wanted those capiz balls hanging on the trees, it’s a good thing Timmy found this for us!  Very unique yet so simple and elegant
