We attended a Skylanders-theme Party organized by Let’s Paint D Town Red.
The venue was packed. The food was great. The entertainment, game corners and music were great. What made the party more festive and fun are the decorations and the way that the lights played on these (this made me think of artemide lighting fixtures, lol)
As usual, Kim didn’t disappoint her guests. Here are some posts I wrote for themed parties by Let’s Paint D Town Red.
My guitar-playing daughter uses a Guitar Tuner app on her Android phone. This proves to be a useful app since she is not that adept in tuning her guitar yet because she always asks her father to do the tuning for her.
I say this is what technology is all about, children learning new things independently. Of course, interpersonal interaction is still best but what if, in cases like these when she needs to tune her guitar and my husband is at work
The Maya Kitchen presents the ‘No Borders Cuisine’ of guest chef Vicky Pacheco, Chateau 1771 Group of Restaurants’ Executive Chef and Chief Operating Officer on August 31, Saturday, 9am-1pm.
Chateau 1771 Group of Restaurants is composed of Chateau, Café, Sentro, WineBar, SideBar and 1771 El Pueblo.
Chef Vicky will demonstrate a signature dish from each of the restaurant concept in the group.
The first Chateau 1771 opened its doors in Malate in 1988 and has since relocated to its present location in Greenbelt 5. Its patented “No Borders Cuisine” is a blend of well-loved Swiss, Italian and French creations.
Café 1771 in Ortigas is a beautiful dining destination serving truly unique sandwiches, breakfast, lasagna, stews, pizza and dessert.
WB 1771 is the group’s Wine Bar concept with a wine selection from 11 countries and 48 regions while SideBar is the perfect place to unwind with great food and wine.
The group has not entirely left behind the Filipino palate with its trailblazing Sentro 1771 restaurant concept. It made famous sinigang na corned beef, rated GG and more. The people behind it describe themselves as ‘living, breathing and dreaming’ Filipino food.
Chef Vicky first joined Chateau 1771 as Assistant Restaurant Manager in December 1988 and has since occupied several positions as Restaurant Manager, Executive Chef and Food and Beverage Manager.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Administration from the University of the Philippines then got a Food and Beverage Diploma at the Les Roches, in Bluche-Montana, Switzerland.

I love listening to Classical Music and the clarinet is one musical instrument that I love to hear.
The daughters are good recorder players. The eldest one learned in school while the younger one learned by herself back when we were still homeschooling.
We have researched about these wind instruments during that time and learned about different wind instruments including terms like saxophone, oboe, reed and fipple. We also looked at stores with websites like mitchell lurie clarinet reeds at wwbw among others and visited real music stores.
Bottom line: I miss doing homeschooling.
During this time when the youngest child in into music and has expressed intentions of getting a bit serious with the stuff that goes into playing music, it makes me wonder how I need to cope with what they know and what they still need to know.
So when this child talks about something I am not familiar with based on the conversations she had with her classmates and friends, I need to read about what she is talking about.
tabs
plucking
strumming and what?
great boss dd 3 at musicians friend
I’m happy though that apart from the YouTube tutorials, she reads up on the things she still needs to learn to improve her guitar playing skills.
I get lost sometimes but I know I will cope up if I read what she is talking about 😀
For printing needs, I really wish that businesses offer more detailed printing services for those who want to have their works printed.
I for one dream of designing invitations and special occasion cards (3D cards!) as well as stationery pages for those people who want to go back to the lost art of writing correspondence instead of sending emails.
And why not, isn’t it more exciting to receive a handwritten note on a dainty and pastel-colored paper that read an email online?
I know I’d like that, even if it takes a while to receive these letters.
