It feels like only yesterday when I was frantically planning the opening of my new salon branch in Las Vegas. Would you believe it has been two years since that day?
I’m deeply humbled by this milestone. I feel very fortunate that despite the unfortunate economic climate, we continue to receive the patronage and support of the people of Las Vegas.
Lastweekend, the Fil-Am entertainment scene was all abuzz about the historical tandem of two concert giants Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera.
When Starmedia Entertainment first announced this unique, powerhouse offering in Los Angeles, there was irrepressible excitement among live concert-goers!
Tickets to the concert were sold out in a flash and people who could not get tickets were really clamoring for it.
On concert night last Oct. 17, the crowd did not disappoint. The venue, Pasadena Civic Center, was jam-packed from the outside all the way in.
When you treat your hair well, it usually returns the favor. This means, making sure your hair gets the nourishment needed according to demands of each season.
Now in the middle of fall and in preparation for the winter months, it’s a good idea to get started on upping the hair’s moisture levels.

As of this writing, the devastating aftermath of the worst disaster to hit our country continues. Watching the news update, I saw tons of garbage and waste piling up all over our country. The challenge of rebuilding, cleaning and picking up the pieces is overwhelming.
"Pumipila kami para sa isang supot na bigas at tatlong sardinas," just to survive each day, according to my brothers, relatives and friends. And they all say one thing -- why? It feels like God had forsaken them. I could only say that it is not just there in the Philippines, it can happen anywhere at anytime. God gives trials to all of us.Trials that we can overcome by believing and reaffirming our faith.
Last weekend, will be sadly remembered as the weekend when the worst devastation hit the Philippines. One that it hasn’t seen in years. The magnitude of this typhoon will forever change the lives of all of us, abroad or back home, the cry and agony of our kababayans seen and heard all over the world were just too hard to bear. We leave it up to our faith in God to believe that even in this harrowing time, there is a purpose. I can’t do anything but cry, seeing our helpless fellow Filipinos, my brother and his family, my nieces and nephews in the middle of ths turmoil. Salamat sa Diyos at ligtas sila. My hearts goes out to the victims, some I know personally.I’ll just pray to God that our beloved country will suffer no more and for us, who are here in America, to be more vigilant in helping our kababayans in Marikina, the place where I was born.
