Stylist Diaries: Zsa Zsa Padilla "Palagi" Album Shoot

Hello hello nabuhay na naman ako! I miss work blog posts. Miss nio din ba? Sana! I finally got a copy of the Divine Diva Ms. Zsa Zsa Padilla's new album titled "Palagi". I have so many pending work posts and I vow to eliminate them one by one. Baby steps! Haha. Here are the final photos and some behind the scenes from one of my favorite shoots. It never occurred to me, not even in my wildest dreams, that I'd one day style an album much less one of the country's music & TV icon photographed pa by legendary photographer Raymund Isaac! Still feels surreal parang di pa din nagsink in. Lol. Thanks Polyeast and ZZP for this opportunity!:)  It was truly an honor to be a part of this amazing project. Always a joy working with one of the nicest celebrities and person I've ever met. Photos!:)

After 4 years, Ms. Zsa Zsa Padilla once again shines and proved everyone why she's THE Divine Diva. Noon, Ngayon, Bukas, Kailanman...Palagi is her newest album under Polyeast Records which is a celebration of her 30 years in the music scene. The album is an honest reflection of her personal journey and boasts of 8 original songs and 2 remakes plus collaboration with the some of the country's most respected and talented musicians like Louie Ocampo, Rey Valera, Keith Martin, Martin Nievera, Joey Albert, etc. I personally like the song she composed titled "All Cried Out". Heard it when she sang it with Zia on ASAP for the Dolphy tribute. So beautiful and touching ha muntik nako maiyak sa hallway ng ABSCBN promise. So grab a copy now na! You, especially your Moms, would love it!:)

Cebu / Sinulog Escapade Day 3: Le Maison Rose + Sonic Boom!

This is my 4th blog post today! Woot. I'm on a rolllll. Decided to just stay in today and work on blog posts, articles and emails since I'd be out the whole day tomorrow. So here's the other half of my Cebu Day 3 post. After our beach trip, we all decided to rest for a few hours before meeting up again at night. Here are photos from Ana's birthday dinner at Le Maison Rose (The Pinkhouse Restaurant) and the Sonic Boom event sponsored by Nick Automatic after!:)

Before anything else, Mich gave us a very brief history about this fairly new resto. "Mich: Ooooh, this was an old haunted house we used to be scared of when I was still a student! Whenever we walk to UP (Cebu) we pass by this place and it always, always gave us the creeps." And that's the brief history. Thanks ha! Hahaha. Well, I love how they revived it though! Super. Duper. Liiiiike. The interior was breathtaking. Explored it as soon as I entered!

sino kaya silaaaa

Our favorite part of the house! The veranda. So pretty.

then Niche arrived! parang naglips to lips sila ni Ana dito. Hihi. Thanks Niche for the reservation!!!

We can't just stay at the balcony forever so after taking a few more snaps we all headed inside to finally eat!

To break it down, here are the top 10 reasons why you should call and book a reservation at Le Maison Rose...

1.) It's an authentic French resto with 2 in-house French chefs. Oha. Kaya pala when I asked for ketchup for my steak, Niche panicked coz it might offend the chef daw. Haha.

2.) The whole set-up, the interiors, the ambiance is amazing.

3.) Perfect for dinner dates. Sure ako sasagutin ka ng nililigawan mo dito. Haha.

4.) It's like being brought back to the 40's-50's. With their American-Indochina decors and all.

5.) The top floor is actually a French school. Couldn't be more legit than that.

6.) Servers are in french maid costumes and speaks AMAZING english. They can do British, French, any other accents you can think of. We heard it and we were astounded. Astig!

7.) Mas okay that you come in vintage clothes when you dine here para mas feel! I'll do that next time.

8.) They have WIFI, so yes you could Instagram your heart away. Hee.

9.) Generous servings for the price.

10.) Easy to locate, it's along Gorordo street lang!

After 3 bottles of wine, we decided to go na to Niche's Sonic Boom event. More fun!

Mich scored this new shirt from Nick! Ang gandaaa!

I love Tracy coz she's one of the few people I know who loves Pinoy rock bands!!! Love you girl!
