After more than a year of renovations, Louis Vuitton finally moved back to its newly expanded store at Greenbelt 4.
Take a look at its unique façade inspired by the House’s signature Damier pattern.

Inside, interiors have been transformed to reflect the spirit of travel that Louis Vuitton has always been known for.
The store’s main entrance opens up to a travel area and expansive leather goods section

while few stairs lead to the mezzanine floor dedicated to men’s leather goods, shoes, and accessories.

One of the new features of the store is the addition of a lower floor extension, which houses women’s leather goods, shoes and accessories.

Also on this lower level, for the first time, is a private salon where top VIPs can have the ultimate, sophisticated personal shopping experience in a private ambience.

Louis Vuitton’s celebration began with a ribbon cutting ceremony joined by (L-R) Rhea De Vera-Aguirre, Country Manager of Louis Vuitton Philippines; Jean-Baptiste Debains, President of Louis Vuitton Asia Pacific; Catherine Zobel de Ayala; and Edouard Faure, General Manager for Micronesia and the Philippines.

An in-store cocktail was attended by local celebrities, prominent social personalities, distinguished guests and Manila’s hip and fashionable crowd.

Doña Bea and Don Jaime Zobel de Ayala

Tweetie de Leon-Gonzales

Dressed in Louis Vuitton were Isabelle Daza

Heart Evangelista

Borgy Manotoc

Anne Curtis

Georgina Wilson

Amanda Griffin

and Anne Curtis (Take 2)

The celebration continued as guests were transported to Whitespace, whose entrance was made to look like an airport runway. This led up to a set of Louis Vuitton trunk doors that guests walked through as they entered a whimsical “World of Flight”. Spotted were Tessa Valdes and Rajo Laurel

Hideo Muraoka and Fatima Rabago

Alex Escat

Mike Concepcion, Carlos Concepcion, Erwan Heussaff and Adrien Semblat

Jonathan and Rhea Aguirre, Dara David, Vanessa Santos

Inside, hot air balloons and vintage model airplanes were set against the cool ambience of clear blue skies while international DJs Simon Washford and Janva played their sets.
French magician Stefan Leyschon entertained guests with his extraordinary illusions, while mixolologist Joseph Boroski, from New York, created specially designed martini concoctions for this opening.
Watch.

Ronny Zamora may be my favorite uncle and Teddyboy Locsin, one my mentors, but with all due respect, I care about ugly restrooms. I care about dirty carpets, broken chairs, starvation and Boy Boy Bawang sold in the souvenir shops.
I care about ugly, grumpy people who bark at passengers who forget to write their “address abroad” on the immigration slips, or customs officials who ask for bribes.
I care about beggars hounding passengers on their way to their cars.
I don’t care about greens or birds or tacky Filipino restaurants lining the Greenbelt-like outdoor setup.
Honestly I don’t really care who fixes the airport as long as they take care about the basics, and most of all, the restrooms please.
Kung wala talagang budget, banyo lang please, para nang awa. Bigyan mo kami ng kahihiyan, NAIA.
P.S. I also stay at the Four Seasons and I care about these things.

Teditorial: NAIA mess

Designer Kenneth Cobonpue and his team will hold a press conference on Thursday to clarify the issues concerning their design for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport-Terminal 1 (NAIA-1). In tonight’s Teditorial, Teddy Locsin Jr. defends DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas’ decision to set aside the group’s plan and prioritize the facility’s safety. – The World Tonight, ANC, November 29, 2011

Bloggers branding NAIA the worst airport were homeless gays.
Naturally, they complained the NAIA women’s toilets are inadequate, there’s nowhere to lie down, no kneepads in restrooms in any case.
But so long as an airport performs immigration and customs functions, who cares if it does not do anything else?
Well, people with no authority who told Pineda, Layug and Cobonpue they could remake the airport.
Nobody, who is anybody, notices the airports they pass through. My best friend, mining magnate Ronnie Zamora has travelled the world. After immigration, he said, the airport is just a blur when Ritz, Four Seasons, Mandarin or Shangri-la whisk him away.
What about the toilet? He has done his business in the plane.
Travelers flying economy, in tight seats, with smelly toilets, want to get as far from the plane, as fast as they can.
I killed the idea of doing anything to an airport that already works well.
But no, the finicky insist on a brand new airport we cannot afford or the old one remade according to Architectural Digest.
Mar Roxas has publicly proposed various prospects. He publicly considered a brand new, Changi-scale airport in “Famfanga.”
He publicly talked of selling NAIA to pay for the same.
Now, he has openly decided to spruce up NAIA without turning it into a garden paradise as some suggest. Trees and birds are bad for planes.
He has conducted his thinking, and made his decision, in full public view and hearing. How much more transparent can you get? Locsin made the airport, who best can restore its original state?
Come now Cobonpue, Pineda and Layug — 3 famous interior designers and furniture makers.
Layug pioneered postmodern furniture. Cobonpue designed Angelina Jolie’s baby’s bassinet. Pineda has his admirers. They have been working 8 months on a redesign and redecoration of the airport, with plenty of shrubs.
Why? No, not the shrubs, but why did they do the work?
They had no contract, or even formal contact with, former DOTC Secretary Ping de Jesus or his successor today.
Who put them up to it? The 3 designers fingered but did not name Cabinet members with no connection to DOTC or the airport.
Justice in this country being what it is today, where possibility is fact, suspicion probable cause, proposal a crime, and probability proof beyond reasonable doubt, I accuse the Cabinet members who approached Cobonpue and company of redecorating and refurnishing their homes for a deep discount or free, hinting the 3 could redo the airport.
I move for a subpoena to issue to Pineda, Layug and Cobonpue to reveal the names of the officials who put them up to undertaking unauthorized work.
I move for search warrants to look for furniture coming from Pineda, Layug and Cobonpue in the homes of these Cabinet officials.
I move for a subpoena duces tecum for documents showing deliveries of deeply discounted or donated furniture to them.
Without regard to the returns, I move for the detention of the officials who approached Pineda, Layug, and Cobonpue with a false commission to redo the airport they had no authority to undertake.
I want a watchlist hold-departure order on these furniture avid Cabinet men in case they escape with the furniture.
Keep well, thank you.

Sayoko sent a box of Leaf Pies via EMS.

We were worried I wouldn’t get them, that some postal worker might eat them. But they arrived.
Four boxes of Leaf Pie. Three for me, one for my sister.

No sharing, no leftover.

I love you Leaf Pie. Marry me.

My son and I had the pleasure of taking part in Ayala Mall’s Habitat For Humanity event last night at Greenbelt 5.
Ben and his friend Emilio Aquino were invited by the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation to be onstage with the Black Eyed Peas’ apl.de.ap.
Not a stage mom (more like harassed mom), I wouldn’t have encouraged it due to my packed agenda—if not for apl.de.ap whom I truly admire not only for what he’s achieved in the international music industry, but also for his sincerity in embracing his Filipino roots and helping improve the lives of his countrymen.
Well that, plus Ben really likes the Black Eyed Peas.

Spot my kid: he’s the one trying to catch a piece of confetti in his mouth.

So Ben thought they would be asked to dance onstage. He was a bit disappointed that all they had to do was stand and wave a yellow balloon—but of course, that didn’t stop Emilio from doing his trademark jiggy at 3:15.

Did the Coke OFW video make you cry? Listen to the words of this inspiring music video made for the We Can Be Anything Nationwide/Global Education Advocacy Campaign.
Born of a partnership between the Apl.de.Ap Foundation and the Ninoy and Cory Aquino Foundation, the campaign was conceived after apl.de.ap (a.k.a. Allan Pineda) expressed his desire to help improve the education situation in the Philippines.
From his own experience he knew that education is the only long-term ticket to a better life. Unfortunately, millions among the youth are deprived of this ticket to opportunity or drop out of school for a variety of reasons.

Leeroy New’s Psychopomo’s Reef installation at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) looks like a pesteng ehem (*wink* @jujiin @michdulce ).

You may have spotted it at the BGC Offsite Gallery on 28th Street and 7th Avenue and wondered what the hell that was. Being a fan of Leeroy New’s works, I immediately guessed he had something to do with it.

Not too long ago, Leeroy had the honor of having his sculptural top worn by Lady Gaga. Don’t believe incredible stories that the top was a collaboration between New and someone else. Leeroy solely created the top which was stylized by the House of Gaga. If anything, it is a collaboration between Leeroy New and the House of Gaga.

On December 13, 2011, Tuesday, you are invited to the official launch of  Psychopomp’s Reef at 5 PM. Come in orange and enjoy a special performance by the Sipat Lawin Ensemble.

In Greek mythology, psychopomp literally means a “guide of souls.” In different religions, they are spirits, angels or deities that guide newly deceased souls to the afterlife. Visual artist Leeroy New takes on this role—as a guide of sorts—towards a vibrant landscape at the art strip in Bonifacio Global City.

Psychopomp’s Reef is the first inaugural exhibit of the BGC Offsite Gallery, a new program managed by the Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. (BAFI), which aims to showcase works by young contemporary artists.
From afar, Leeroy New’s organic bright orange “growth” stands out against the flat terrain like large coral clusters. Up close it is actually made out of plastic conduit tubes and cable ties.

This direction, however, is not new to the young artist. Since completing his Fine Arts degree at the University of the Philippines in 2007, he has been exploring the notion of the “hybrid” in materials chosen and the themes and forms created.
This BAFI project was managed in collaboration with Art Cabinet, Inc. with the assistance of Bonifacio Estate Services Corporation.
Psychopomp’s Reef will be at the BGC Offsite Gallery until February 2012. The public is invited.

I normally don’t get it when young people say “fuck my life” but right now I am so feeling like that. I do apologize to the nuns and priests who read my blog. I really don’t want to say that as I believe in positivity. But right now I’m having a really bad time.
It started last week when I got this email telling me to get an iCloud. My husband had also asked me to update all our iPods. Since our music is in two Macs, I initially thought, wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could sync all our music into the iCloud, so I don’t have to go back and fourth turning on the other Mac? (Take note: iCloud doesn’t actually consolidate your music, so it’s completely useless.)
It’s such a pain that Apple doesn’t allow you to share stuff when this household has three Macs, two iPads, about 10 iPods, and one iPhone.

To get the iCloud, I found out I needed to upgrade to Lion OS, which I paid for.
Then I got iCloud. This took many, many hours to install. When I was done I found out my iPhoto wasn’t working, so I purchased an iPhoto upgrade. I don’t even know how much I spent. So my iTunes money is gone.
When that didn’t work, I decided to delete my iPhoto and all its contents, as well as many applications I no longer needed. All in all I deleted 65,000 files and more than 8,000 photos which were backed up in a Picture Keeper.
The whole process took about five days. I can’t tell you how many times I had to restart because the Internet has been erratic in the entire Philippines.
This explains the lack of updates on my blog. So today I finally allowed myself to break down and cry. I called the Mac expert from the A.Shop who is coming here now from Makati. God bless Erwin.
I have calmed down while writing this quick post.
I would’ve wanted to blame and kill Steve Jobs, but he’s already dead.
So yes, I am having a bad day. Fuck my life. I need a Coke and something else. I’m going to the kitchen.

1) First, someone offers me free high-speed internet that was so good, I blogged and raved about it and called it “life-changing”. I raved so much, I know for a fact some people were convinced to get the expensive service.
Three months later, I get a call from them saying they were downgrading my service to 3 MPBS, which I’ve heard is their practice: they let you go on free trial, you sign up, service is good for the first weeks, and then they downgrade you.
After a few months, the 3 MBPS was further downgraded until I could no longer benefit from it, I had to disconnect it.
A year later I was surprised to get a billing for the “free” service I had stopped using for months!
I called them, explained I was offered a freebie, etc. They got their router back. And then two days ago I got a text from them saying they elevated my unpaid bill to their law firm. WTF, I’m not paying for this.

2) I’m having a problem with my wireless landline. The first one conked out so I asked for a replacement unit which was delivered at home while I was out. The replacement unit did not work. It has been more than a month I have no wireless landline and they seem to have forgotten about me.
Why should I pay the bill for a service that isn’t working? I called them just now and they promise to send the new unit today. Good luck to that.

3) I signed up for Wi-Tribe 4G last November as they were offering 4 mbps for Php 1998/month. I just walked in at Shang, paid cash and was able to bring home the unit that same night. How convenient. When I got home I plugged it in and it worked but I got about 1 mbps. Upon talking to them on the phone, I was told that 1 mbps was just a test and they would upgrade my account to 4 mbps. OK, here’s what I’m getting by the way:

Thank you very much.
P.S. Prior to writing this blog entry, I had been tweeting to @witribeph and somebody actually called me back and promised to send a technician last week. I waited all Saturday and nobody came. Hence, the blog entry. Honestly, if you go the normal route in Manila, nothing will ever happen to your life. Hence, the blog entry. Good luck to my problems.
