How to keep the music playing
Coffee table book writer Bing Nieva Carrion recently unveiled her 22nd piece of work entitled Elements of Love: How We Keep the Music Playing at the elegant Dusit Thani Manila in Makati. Most of the book’s more than 40 featured personalities were present during the launch at the hotel’s classy Italian restaurant Tosca.
Among the couples who shared their gems of wisdom on their zest for life and love with such candor were Consul Michel and Amparito Lhuillier, Consuls Louie and Mellie Ablaza, Dusit International’s Gerhard Kropp and wife Joyce, and Dusit Thani Manila GM Prateek Kumar and wife Yvonne. Doubly proud that night was Prateek Kumar who revealed that “most of those who figured in this book are like family to Dusit Thani Manila.”
Congratulations, Bing (and Prateek) for a successful book launch!
