Hats off to family fun!

The young, creative management of Dish, the ultimate dining experience, held another successful event for its ever-growing clientele. A family-oriented affair with the Happy Hats, the hottest kiddie host entertainers, provided an afternoon of bonding and good clean fun to excited parents and their kids.

Families, especially those who like value for money, are discovering the advantages of lunching at Dish with the entire brood. Aside from its great food, there’s also singing, dancing, story-telling, games, costume parades, talent exhibitions and other interactive activities for young and old alike! Themed events give moms, dads and kids a reason to get together. Gigantic board onstage holds special surprises inside small white balloons.

Seen recently at the Happy Hats event were Marijo Arafiles and her daughters Pia, Bernie and niece Tara; Joel and Cristine Lugay and their kids Mico, Joaquin and Sofia; Sarah and Ricky Ledesma and their children Danielle, Coco, Enzo and Blonski; Raffy and Pia Abello and their daughters Maiki, Erica, Gabbi and Sam; and John and Jessica Cogul and their daughter Paula, among many others!

Have happy family days at Dish!

A private paradise

There are many beaches and beautiful resorts but there is only one place I know of that also boasts of Bengal tigers, hybrid boa constrictors and even a private lake with its own miniature submarine!

Where, you ask? Only in former Gov. Chavit Singson’s private retreat in Ilocos Sur. The unpolluted air, shimmering blue waters, the flour-like sand seeping between your toes – all of these will undoubtedly leave you breathless and longing for a hideaway you can call your own.

Fond felicitations

Still on a happier note, we would like to greet our friend Jackie Maniquis who recently celebrated her birthday with hubby Ira of San Miguel Corp., their brood and many friends. Happy birthday, Jackie!

Our congratulations also to Marlon Gersbach who graduated with flying colors from De La Salle University with a degree in marketing. The outgoing and good-looking youngster celebrated with friends at Italianni’s for a job well done!

Congrats, Marlon!
