The Stock Market Earns Points!

I liked the food. It was yummy. Simple as that. Service could be better but the quality of the food (taste and presentation) made up for it. I like the decor of the place. It is clean, fresh and homey. The family was also quite happy which made me glad since I was the one who recommended the restaurant. I didn't hear much complain from my dad (which is such a relief, because it is difficult to please him when it comes to dining out). All in all, I will surely come back here to try out more of their dishes.

By the way, did you know that this restaurant is owned by


Enjoy!

50 Must Buys in Manila, the Launch.

How fun it was! The book launch of 50 Must Buys in Manila at Fully Booked spelled S-U-C-C -E-S-S! A supersize Congratulations once again to my sistah, Janina and Michael S. for informing us how to be even more broke than we already are by compiling 50 all local, handmade and specially designed pieces here in Manila.

The raffle prizes were equally wonderful and I was given the job to call out the winners and I have to clear my name to those who shouted "Luto! Luto!" when Cheffie won the degustation dinner by Sunshine Puey. Is it my fault that God wanted Cheffie and I to have a 6 course dinner prepared by one of the top chefs in the Philippines? It is His way for me to blog about it because He knows I can't spend another dime this Christmas Season. So there.

I must mention that the cocktail food by CAV was really good. Mental note to myself, for future catering services, CAV is on my top 10 list.

Okay then....I know you have been praying hard for me to shut up and show you the pics so I will grant your prayers. Shutting up now. ENJOY!!!

Metro's Wish List!

I think Lucy looks STUNNING on the cover!

Anyway, the bangle is already sold but you may order for your own with your personal input on the design.



I failed to post this when it came out but it is better to be late to blog than not to blog at all.

Accessory Lab will be FAB!

"Accessory Lab is an accessories and bling shop located at the 2nd floor of the Rockwell Power Plant Mall. Accessory Lab was created out of sheer appreciation for the unique collections designed by skilled and talented artists from the Philippines and select Asian countries."

On Dec. 18, it will finally be opened to the public and I am super duper excited to see the outcome of 12 months of sleepless nights and hard work of Ingrid and partners. Accessory Lab will be taking credit card payments as soon as they open their doors.

You will find a vignette of Jul B. Dizon Jewellery with pieces designed by yours truly on display. Hope you will find your Jul B. Dizon treasure there.

Located in between VMV and Figaro at the 2nd level of Powerplant Mall, Rockwell Center. Tel. (02) 890-9011.

See you on the 18th! Happy Shopping!

50 Must Buys in Manila, the Book.

When Janina Dizon-Hoschka and Michael Salientes put their heads together about shopping, you would think that you need to sell your soul to be able to afford what they think is the hottest thing to have. But from bread to flutes, these guys know the best place to get it. A collaboration between two great shoppers/fashionistas/stylist/tastemakers resulted in a book entitled 50 Must Buys in Manila where they featured products which are ALL LOCALLY MADE. BRAVO FILIPINO!

I also have to mention the tremendous effort of T. Hoschka who was the one who glued the two heads together in the first place.

Some featured artists, designers, products in the book are my friends;

PUEY QUINONES

SUNSHINE PUEY

MICH DULCE

PAUL SYJUCO

BRIAN TENORIO

And of course JUL B. DIZON JEWELLERY

Book launching is on the 20th of December at 2-6 pm in Fully Booked, High Street, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig. This event in itself offers much surprises for those who will purchase a book on the said date. Raffle prizes which are sponsored by the featured products in the book awaits, and yes, you may win a one of a kind, handcrafted, jewelry item from Jul B. Dizon Jewellery! 

So, I say, one of the best buys in Manila right now is none other than the 50 BEST BUYS IN MANILA, the book.

Tassel Dazzle the Jul Dizon Way.

My jewelry of the month has got me swingin' my head from left to right. I wore one today and got so many compliments that I had to pat myself on the shoulders. 

When I saw the raw material, I knew exactly what I wanted out of them. It has been such a long time since we made them and I wanted to bring it back to my peeps who love jewelry. 

As I show them to my clients, it always takes more than an hour to finally decide on which color they will purchase because ALL the colors are so darn pretty! Plus the fact that it is very easy on the wallet, it makes everyone who sees it want to buy more than one. But when that happens, it is usually decided after a phone call to the financier (husband or honey). 

 

And guess what...they are detachable so you can mix match the colors of your tassel depending on your mood.

So you, yeah, I am talking to you. Come on over and dazzle your way through the holidays with the Jul B. Dizon tassel.
