Dusit Thani's Family Tree

Dusit Thani Manila's Christmas Family Tree

By Dusit Thani Manila

 

What for you is Christmas?

It may be the gifts wrapped in fancy papers and ribbons or children’s carols. For some, it is the meal shared on Christmas Eve no matter how simple or festive it may be.

Here at Dusit Thani Manila, we believe that it is the spirit of giving. And we think that the best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each others’ arms.

And so, this year, Dusit Thani Manila gathers families from different walks of life and invites them to enthuse others by sharing values and traditions their families have been accustomed to. More so, provide an avenue where children of the next generation will be inspired to be a channel of blessings to mankind.

Through this project dubbed as Family Tree, join us as we endeavor to give this season a new and deeper meaning.

The hotel also invites all in-house and dining guests as well as Facebook fans to cast their votes for "liking" the best Christmas Tree, where cash prizes will be donated to the top three winning entries’ chosen charity. Voting is from November 15 to December 25, 2011. 

 so please, vote for the Llamas Tree:

(which me and my former classmate - yes, we're graduates now! - had been cooking/designing for the past few weeks now :)

 

(like the tree here)

 
with Aivan Magno and the Llamas' :)

busy november.

its pretty awkward how my posts had become photobooth-consistent considering i do bring my cam when im out, (but im way too lazy to do some effort lol). it might be a sign of aging growing up, but for more than a year now since i started stressing myself out (i do that!), i just drop by to... i don't know, post random stuff - as always - since i abandoned my first blog (2004). so aside from being a personal diary, i use this to get myself tired - hoping i could hit the sack at any moment after posting (been a 5am-6am sleeper for weeks now). blah. anyway... if i'm NOT here, (1) i'm posting in my other blog (http://mydesigncupcake.blogspot.com/), (2) sleeping (3) working til daytime (4) bitching (5) skype-ing (6) tweeting (7) and the sorts :)

Interior Design Exhibit

i remembered two and half years ago when i was still contemplating whether to pursue Interior Design as my post-grad major, and boy... do time flies! now, we're actually in the last part of the whole course - Exhibit - which happens before graduation. in a month's time, i would be receiving my certificate and can then start designing... homes & establishments :) *excited* i can't be more than thankful for my "real" friends who never stood me up/ stood by my side during the process, and motivated me the whole time - even during my bitchy, anti-social moments. and browsing through my last posts, looking through where i have been, what i had accomplished, i think it's all worth it. whew. i think i'm truly Blessed, and i can't thank God and my family more :)

anyway, here is the booth my group had created for our exhibit :)

 the theme of the Exhibit is Sustainability, and here we were assigned to create a Dining Room that is 60-70% made of Plastic! you read it right, Plastic! (you can read more details of it here).

then some of my random booth-hopping... :)

at the paper booth, during alumni night.

at the glass booth, during Press Day.

Press day without air-condition! could die in corporate attire!

wore this awesome dress from Ferdie Abuel during our Launching Night :)

with former batch mate, ushering for the night. 

 with my groupmates... good job guys! mwaaah

 goofers

Farra...

Today, I styled my classmate in PSID, Sunshine.

















We're on a one week psuedo-break from school... so relieved even though we STILL have projects to submit on our first day next week.

My peg for this look was sweet, bohemian summer. Farra is supposed to be the lover of a warewolf we're having in character for our re-designed play project... hihi

Sunshine's clothes, shoes and accessories are mine :) Maxi dress from F21, Jessica Simpson Dany Shoes in black, and random accessories from all over :)
