Bachelors-Femina charity ball + Cebu

I was invited to participate in the Bachelors-Femina Innocence Day Ball at the Casino Español de Cebu last December 28. Bachelors-Femina is a socio-civic club for unmarried members of the “crème de la crème” of Cebu Society. The girls and I modeled creations made by famous Cebuano designers and we also had to perform the Rigodon de Honor. The event was for the benefit of the Hands of Mercy and Asilo De La Milagrosa. It was definitely loads of fun and it was great seeing my friends dressed to the nines in traditional Filipino attire! Thank you so much to Dexter Alazas for letting me wear your creation!

More photos from my trip...

Made a quick stop to the annual CIS party Seasons Greetings after the Drink for Life fundraiser at Starting Point...

Went to VUDU on my last night!

Thanks for the photos, Mikey!

Crappy outfit photo [here]

I had to go straight to the airport for my 5AM flight. Then I caught up to the rest of the Cabreras at the Riviera house in Tagaytay for our New Years Eve celebration.

CEBU WAS GREAT! I'm heading back on the 8th to celebrate my birthday (in advance) with some friends from Manila who are also taking part of the Sinulog festival.  

See you there, friends!

Sinulog 2011- Friday & Saturday (part 1)

I was super excited for the weekend since I've been waiting to get away from schoolwork for a very loooong time... Sadly, Pia and I ended up bringing our homework to Cebu, since we had a presentation scheduled an hour after arriving from our flight back to Manila... But we knew that wouldn't stop us from having an awesome time!!!

Arrived Friday night and Pia and I decided to hit Penthouse first. I couldn't find any of my friends there so we headed to Vudu. That place was just scorching hot so we went out after 5 minutes, talked to some people and then went back to Penthouse. Finally we found Mia, Holly and the rest so we joined them in their table.

Stolen photos coming up... Sorry for the quality... I just grabbed them from Mia's Facebook. :P

On Friday I invited my high school batch mates for a small birthday celebration over lunch at our place. Mum hired 2 chefs to prepare Japanese and Filipino food for us! And oh, we had some Rico's Lechon, too! My guests couldn't stop raving about it. I think I'm never tempted to taste it since I grew up in the same neighborhood where the lechon is made and I'm pretty sure there was some lechon in every party I went to in Cebu... So, yeah. :P

Looks pretty tasty from the photos, right??? My guests didn't even need sauce for this!

We had dinner at the Gustavian...

Nice watchhhh. Pia and I were jealz.

Off to Vudu where we met up with Red and his friends while Sam, Pao and Echo went to Sonic Boom.

Red had 22 GUESTS from Manila. One whole barangay, dude! They're experts in partying!

It got extremely hot inside Vudu (was super sweaty already and Pia couldn't breathe!) so we decided to head over to Penthouse. Took Pao, Sam and Echo with us and met up with Sam, PJC and the rest of my beau's friends!

It was PACKED. Thank you so much to Alyssa for ALWAYS helping us out!!!

I was taking photos and videos for my beau. Tried to update him with the Sinulog happenings through WhatsApp. It's his favorite time of the year- I think he even loves it 10x more than Christmas.

I underestimated the amount of attention Echo would get from people inside the club... Sammi even said "Kawawa talaga!" but he is always so nice to people asking for photos. I really can't imagine how he can survive this on a day-to-day basis. LOL

Oh yes, someone just had to be a photobomber :))

Lakam really looks like her sister Kim (Chiu). O_O So proud of this girl for gracing the Chowking ads around Edsa!

We asked Echo if Issa could have a pic with Andi since she is the biggest fan of the show Agua Bendita. Doesn't Issa look like an actress, too??? They're both so pretty!

I missed you!!! People kept thinking we were sisters. :))

Uhh... Saying goodbye to each other. LOL

Pre-parade festivities are just as fun!!!

Photos from Sunday coming up on my next post!
