The Philippine Tatler Ball 2008.



Event: Tatler Ball
Venue: Makati Shangri-la Hotel
Date: October 11, 2008
Time: 7:00 pm
Attire: Black tie



As usual, when you enter the ballroom, it was impressive. Flower arrangements as high as the ceiling and blue hydrangeas scattered all over the place.




The food started out great.

The table set up.


The salmon was fresh and delicious.


The soup was creamy and flavorful.


The sorbet was refreshing and presented beautifully on an ice block.


Didn't really love the main course. The chicken was a bit too dry and tough. And I think I would have preferred rice.


The Upsized Macaroon was so sweet, it sent shivers up my spine.


The Entertainment were excerpts from the Broadway Musical, Les Miserable. Although the singers were pretty good, I find the choice of songs too sad for the occasion.



As I left soon after the dessert, I had no time to go around to take photos of the beautiful people. SOWWY!

The Billboard that Drives Me Bonkers!

Not really sure if this billboard is meant to be funny. I hope so because it made me laugh and when I was looking for a the caption for the hilarious photo, there was none. That only means that it was not supposed to be funny. But if it wasn't meant to be humorous, then what the heck were they thinking making a billboard like that?? What's with the make-up? And the super wide smile?



Anyway, it surely doesn't want to make me go to the company they are endorsing. There's still time to take it down and replace it with something much better! Hire Michael Salientes for styling! He's super great at it! Check out his latest works! I mean, I know they are not billboards but imagine if they were!!
