Guess what’s keeping Kim Chiu busy these days aside, of course, from her taping for her daily series Ikaw Lamang, pairing her with Coco Martin for the first time?
Her fashion shop, named Adorata, that she co-owns with celebrity fashion designers Pepsi Herrera and Edwin Tan.
The boutique’s specialty: Wedding gowns.
All three agree na with the approaching month for weddings, June, they will be kept busy. For who is the bride who doesn’t dream to be wed in a wedding gown designed and created by a famous designer-couturier like Pepsi or Edwin?
Bagama’t ’di pa ikinakasal, alam daw ni Kim na sa pag-iisang puso ng dalawang taong nagmamahalan, ang pinakamalaki ang budget, bukod sa reception, ay ang gown na isusuot ng bride.
And that’s where raw Adorata comes in. For the mere amount of P35,000, a wedding gown can be purchased.
For the groom, they can make available, too, a suit and a trouser set sa halagang P15,000.
To top it all, the would be bride, lalo na, can suggest any design for her wedding dress na type niya.
Bagama’t hanggang maaari ay ayaw ni Kim na tinatanong siya tungkol sa detalye ng diumano’y pagbabati nila ni Maja Salvador, hindi niya itinatangging, yes, they have reconciled as friends.
Former best friends, nagkaroon ng lamat ang relasyon ng dalawa, when, after Kim’s breakup with Gerald Anderson ay naging sina Maja at Gerald.
Obvious na ’di ma-take ni Kim ang nangyari. And, for a time, talaga, ni ma-mention ang name ni Maja ay ayaw niyang marinig.
It has been two years hence. And Kim felt that with all the blessings that have kept coming her way, especially lately, it will not be difficult to forgive and forget.
Even with Gerald, Kim said, they have reconciled na rin as friends.
Kim, lately, aside from the high rating Ikaw Lamang and, of course, the establishment of her fashion boutique, has two box-office movies to her name: Bakit ‘Di Ka Crush ng Crush Mo? at Bride for Rent.
Sam nakatulong sa renovation ng bahay ni LJ
Do you know that the new house where LJ Moreno and her cager husband Jimmy Alapag now live was designed and decorated by the same designer consultant na siya ring nag-design ng bahay ni Sam Milby? And lately, Kris Aquino.
Her name: Tess Medina.
“Through Sam kaya namin siya na-contact,†sabi ni LJ. “And Tess helped us with the total renovation of the house.â€
Located in Pasig City, close to the bakery that LJ owns and operates, the house sits on a 600-square meter lot.
Because nga LJ loves cooking, she made sure na matupad ang pangarap niyang magkaroon ng modern kitchen, with all the facilities needed available.
The Alapags’ next agenda is for LJ to get pregnant. As LJ said, kung si Jimmy ang masusunod he wants mga 20 children.
For her, according to LJ, tama na ang apat, sapat na para makabuo ng isang basketball team. And then ang pang-lima, babae. Para may muse naman.
A niece of former sexy actress Alma Moreno, now a councilor ng Parañaque City, LJ was one of local showbiz’s most beautiful faces in her time.
She used to be under contract to Viva Films.
