Lots of Reason to Celebrate

my LIPS are SEALED… sometimes… - Maurice Arcache -
Le Souffle at The Fort experienced big-time cocktail revelry, dahlings, when former Tourism Undersecretary and CAP Phils. director, debonaire Russell Sobrepeña celebrated his birthday, with übersocialite Finnish knock-out Riina Sinisalo as party impresario and co-host.

Seen early, palanggas, were photog Pepper Teehankee, Canadian Paul Cowsill, delightful blonde Heidi Benn, man-about-town Andrew Long, gorgeous new parents Miguel and Barbara Aboitiz, all flocking to the Japanese booth for sushi and tempura.

Listening to vibrant Lilibeth Viaplana talking about her move to Switzerland were Carol Santana, French beautician Vivian Gtsma, glamorous Elena Arias and a surprise appearance by Roberto and Vicky Veloso Barrera. Master of his domain Billy King was having fun too, as guests enjoyed the mouth-watering appetizers and abundant supply of wine and champagne.

She may have everything, but for Aireen Robles, scion of the Sta. Lucia Realty group who celebrated her birthday recently, her only wish was for a blessing that really comes from above. She gathered her closest pals and business partners to celebrate at Coast 101 in the middle of bustling Libis, dahlings, which started with a prosperity prayer by Pastor Ricky de Guzman.

Aireen was greeted by her famille like mom Dominga Robles and children Carla and Fritz Chan, and pals like Martin Young, Terence Figueroa, Pinky Fuertes, Cherry Fardo, Nora Pascual, Jason Robles, Nannie Joseph, Valentina Santiago, Roland Andres, Paul Robles and Dr. and Mrs. Arnold Abalos.

An exhibit that featured colorful and tranquil schools of the lucky fish Nishikigoi or more commonly called "koi" opened a full moon ago at Galleria Duemila. The artist, Ramon Diaz dahlings, was overwhelmed by the turn-out of friends and famille who came on opening night.

Special guests who snipped the ribbon were Allan Kim, Arnold Segundo and Vic-vic Villavicencio. Other friends who came were Romy Herman, Fernando Pimentel, Alfredo and Luisita Guerrero, Louie and Thelma Abiva, Rene and Malou Ligon, Alex Litonjua and Peachy Alimurong.

Remember, palanggas, "The closer you are to Jesus Christ, the more you’ll have a heart for people."

Smile. See you.
