Two Birthdays
Mother Dearest
Dr. Lea Fajardo, Hazel Buaron and Prma Buckley
Philippine Tatler's top hostess Hazel Buaron opened the door to her luxurious home in posh Southville a few nights ago to celebrate the birthday of her beloved mother Rebecca, who turned 76. Nanay Rebecca, as she is fondly called, used to be a Home Economics teacher. The Buaron family members were all there to greet Nanay Rebecca a happy, happy birthday.
The poolside dinner party was truly a meaningful and fantastic one. It was meaningful because Nanay Rebecca's children (Hazel, Zeniada, Nonoy and grandson Nick) did all the cooking and preparations. It was a perfect tribute for their mother on her birthday. It was fantastic because the cooking was really home-style, one that we used to serve during big gatherings using famil- kept recipes and before the word "catering" became a fad.
Guests were treated to Breaded Crabmeat Stuffed in Shell, Caldereta, Valenciana, Fetuccini Carbonara, Kinilaw na Tangigue, Beef in Mushroom, Fresh Lumpia Ubod and different kinds of cakes.
Melvin's Night
Melvin Sarabia, Zedrick Seneres and Marita Soriano
Good friend Dr. Melvin D. Sarabia turned a year older with a fun gathering of the gang at Freddy's Bar in the family-owned Sarabia Manor Hotel and Convention Center. It was a night of reminiscing --- from 80's music, good time happenings and private jokes, which everyone pitching in amid overflowing drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The party wrapped up very late with the gang heading to another venue for early breakfast!
The pics say all.
