Style Scene: Penshoppe Summer Launch

Yesterday at Dusit Hotel, the afternoon was hotter than usual because of a guy named Aki.



Joining him is the equally gorgeous Penshoppe model and summer goddess, Bea Soriano:



She's the epitome of summer fresh! Is she even wearing makeup?

And of course, our fashion bloggers *wink*

My Seattle's Best Coffee Slam Book

Like Cristalle Belo, my favorite cup at Seattle's Best is their Chai Tea Latte.

When I saw Cristalle's Seattle's Best Coffee tarp at The Philippine Stock Exchange Building, I gave Chai Tea Latte in the Philippines another chance.



Joyce's SBC tarpaulin.

I've been desperate in finding hot milk tea that compares to the one I had at Chulalongkorn Uni.



Eric, Alvin with Doz.

I just think that tea, mixed with a little milk won't make me fat and even help me burn some.



Joyce with Alvin and Eric.

I've been a fan ever since and can only wish I can have my own SBC tarp too!



"Hi I am Lace, 25 years old. Been drinking SBC for (can't remember). My favorite drink is Chai Tea Latte, served hot. When I am bored and need a break.

For a quick snack/break I eat Big Breakfast number 3!"



Soft scrambled eggs, meaty sausages, crispy bacon, wheat bread, and pancakes served with butter and marmalade.



Continuing my Seattle's Best Slam Book now, when I want to talk I ask my husband and/or fellow mommy bloggers to come along.



I actually ate 2 Breakfasts at SBC that morning with them, I can't remember what number this is except for it has two sunny side up eggs. That's all that matters.



Brought our flip along to document the commotion. I forgot to have my SBC Christmas card stamped though.



Love how coffee shops know how to dust some holiday spirit.

Style Scene: Ashton's Baptism Party @ Lancaster Hotel Manila

What a wonderful day September 28 was! The solemn baptism of my son, Ashton at EDSA Shrine was celebrated thereafter at Lancaster Hotel Manila. Both places were almost just across each other and doing the ceremony and celebrations in these spots was a great idea.



Our celebration was held at The Peak, 41st floor of Lancaster. View from the top:



Just imagine the 360 view with the evening skies.

Spotted at American Rag @ Robinsons Starmills Pampanga

At Robinsons Starmills Pampanga, outlets are everywhere like this shop American Rag which also houses items from Terranova!



I went there with Lavern who toured me around the mall.



With us is Jane of Betweenbites



Lauren, and Lizz



Of all the items, my eyes feasted on these nice floral prints. They just look so easy and fresh :) Above a floral polo shirt, and below a flowery print on a pair of shorts.



Could you guess how much the polo shirt is?



From P 5,198 to just P 999.00, unbelievable!
