Hi MM!

I attended International School, too (grade 1-7) and then attended high school at De La Salle-Zobel in Alabang.

What years did you attend I.S.?

beautiful arrangement MM…. I keep a pot of phalaenopsis in my “office”… the galley of course.
try them on black bowls which I did once on an Asian theme dinner we had on the boat. Fantastic.

Jade186, it is actually a unique, hand-blown (or is it better to say man-handled) piece made in Murano, designed by Elsa Peretti, and a larger 14 inch diameter vs. the 11 inch in the link… yes, it was an absolute find at 1/10th its retail value. I don’t think they make the 14 inch version any more. And it is etched or signed on the base of the piece. :) Apicio, as usual, you called it months before everyone else! I wish they had a Cantankerous Blogger Award, I would be really proud to win that one…hahaha. jafores, JASMS, or Jose Abad Santos Memorial School when it was run by Mrs. Gamboa and was probably Manila’s most progressive and wacky school, and to whom I credit my ability to think a bit out of the box, :) then a couple of years at a Makati Catholic school (a total disaster), then middle and high school at an International School before heading off to college then graduate school… Lee, to make sure I don’t alienate Lasallites, I really should take this photo again in a green bowl. :)

At first glance I thought the blue dish was Murano glass, then I clicked the link. Quite close. If it’s really ‘a mano e a soffio’ (although the term used “hand-blown” does not really make much sense) as it claims to be then each piece should be unique. You really have an eye for a bargain MM. And for beauty of course :)

Look as though you are picking up another trophy over at the Philippine Blog Awards. Not for the category I slyly suggested but for my over all one-time favorite post. Tinapa. Congratulations, we were all rooting for you.
