A few weeks ago I had a lovely Jazz gig for Cartier, as the official sponsor of Art Dubai they hosted an intimate dinner. It was a beautiful event. Here are a few pictures from the performance, featuring Stoyan Stoyanov on piano and accordion.
Special thanks to The Fridge and Cartier 
“TAAS NO FILIPINO!” goes the slogan for Illustrado Magazine, a Gulf Dubai base lifestyle magazine, whose vision is to “help the Filipino flourish”. So when they approached me for am interview, I was really honored. Since I’ve come to Dubai the support from fellow Kabayans working in the industry has been really amazing, TAAS NO FILIPINO, indeed! :)
Here are a few pictures from a recent performance for Banana Republic with Stoyan Stoyanov.
Thank-you to The Fridge & Al Tayer for this one.
A great event, showcasing some fab pieces from the label’s new collection!

When I was younger I used to be a Lucid dreamer. Every night I could control and decide what I was going to dream, and know I was in a dream. It was like going on an adventure.
It faded over the years, even though my dreams are often still vivid.
Have just read that Vitamin B6 has been known to enhance Lucid dreaming and make dreams more vivid.
Getting me some of that, now! 
A baby parrot made my day today
bright flash of green and red
calling my attention.
We chilled for a while
he posed for a photo
Then flew off on his way.
Baby Peach- Faced Lovebird, passing through Al Quoz, Dubai.
An escapee I suppose
Now free to fly!
It made me smile.
I thought,
‘Imagine having the gift of flight
and not being free to fly?’
So
I decided today
I need not return to the cage-
the one I built for rainy days
The one that keeps out the sunshine;
And the rain. And the clouds. And the rainbows.
They tell you you’re playing it safe,
when really you’re living in fear.
They say ‘hey bird, show us you can fly!’
So, you step out of the cage and flutter to one side of the room
They’re hardly impressed, but satisfied more or less
They clap anyway. Happy to see a bird.
But…. you can never truly soar in a room like that.
And my if they could only see!
My, if I could only feel the true taste of freedom and the wind upon my face
Let it consume me and take me beyond the sand dunes and out into the wilderness
But there I went,
returned to the cage before it was out of my sight.
Well, if a baby parrot can do it, so can I.
So not anymore.
It is time.
To fly…
Last month I was asked to feature in Grazia for Gucci at the Grand Prix Show jumping event in Al Forsan Internationl sports resort in Abu Dhabi. Of course, I gladly accepted the exciting offer of being dressed up in the label loved by the likes of Salma Hayek, Jessica Biel and Li Bing Bing.
Before the day I was taken to the Gucci store in Mall of the Emirates where I tried on a few outfits from the latest collection. I chose to wear a beautiful floaty floral one sided dress, with cute nude suede shoes, a floppy hat and matching bag.
On the day we were picked up ‘Gucci style’ and escorted to the event. Here are some pics from behind the scenes…
All made up, dressed up and ready to shoot…
And here is the article itself..
Many thanks to Gucci and Grazia for the fabulous feature, pampering and lovely day out!
Stunning and inspirational TED talk by the incredibly talented Evelyn Glennie.
