I am in inggit mode. Hmp, ako dapat yung escort mo eh, haha. Nice pics sir, way too cool. Ang mga tao talaga oo, kahit saan ang mga artista dun din sila pipiyesta. Wasn’t it annoying for you? The high-class societies were not affected oh, pero pag ako yun,ewan lang.
shengs last blog post..HOT? or Not?

You’re right about Annabel Rama’s jewels – I was seated beside them last Sunday on the flight back to Manila via Cebu Pacific. They were bulging! And Robina Gokongwei-Pe was so simple, she even lined for her luggage even if they own Cebu Pacific!

@chic, Blue Gre Cafe is a coffee shop which they have franchised here in GenSan. It opens to the public today, Tuesday, February 24th. Try it. Great coffee, finger foods and awesome architecture!

Sir Avel, job well done. The best ka talaga!

A star-studded Robinsons GenSan Grand Opening! | GenSan News Online Mag Says:
[...] The entourage could include the owners Robina Gokongwei-Pe and her brother Lance Gokongwei. Bariles is not certain though if their old man will be there. Ms. Robina (to whom this chain of malls were named after) was here last year during the baptism of Manny Pacquiao’s daughter Queenie and Bariles was even able to chat with her.
