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' :)

 

The Christmas tree write-up

  
Me and Aivan posing in front of the Yao's Christmas Tree. One of my favorites so far :)
 
me and my makeup-artist friend, Elaine Ching posing in front of the Villar's Tree.

and since i'm a lazy blogger, you could read more about the event at Aivan's blog (and yes, i stole some of his pictures too :), here: http://aivanmagno.blogspot.com/2011/11/fashionably-late.html

on deadlines and stuff

so my life has never really changed after three weeks of completing our design exhibit...

  

which means i'm still staying up late til morning, and starting my day in the afternoons... x.x (which also means, more photobooth-whoring for now LOL)

 

all these time, i thought i would be basking under the sun at this very moment/ or spending the holiday with my favorite niece, Bunny! but as it turned out, more work has been piled on my table :/

 

but if everything goes well, this (above) is going to be my first actual-paid project *crossing fingers sooo tightly* and during these past few days, all i've been doing was layout-ing its floor plan, mood board, perspective, etc. and the time allotted to complete everything is completely unbelievable! this... and other minor projects i've been also cooking right now, which i would be posting soon :)

sometimes i get sooo overwhelmed i wish i could just go out and completely waste my day! *evil thoughts*

anyway, thank God i found you! 

my new solemate :)

you bring me UP five and half inches higher each day :)

xoxo

its just me and the photobooth

if you knew me personally, you'd often hear me complaining about my back, how i badly need a hot-stone massage/manicure-pedicure and a salon fix, a Vacation, a LIFE, how my best friends are now medicines (called: berrocca, melatonin, benadryl, and advil), etc. etc. and though i often (also) say that i'm not complaining being Busy, now when i think about it, i kinda am! LOL. i guess i just missed the days when i'm just bumming around, receiving my daily allowance, always out/hanging out (even on weekdays), or if i'm working for some company, i just dressed up and spend my income on shopping etc...  now, i haven't even watched a new movie! and i'm often confused when people say this (insert movie title) is good, whatsoever. BLAH.

i guess its just part of growing up and literally prioritizing things... and these pictures kinda shows how i have been - often sleeping at 5am, and lacking sleep :) cos you'll seldom see me hanging out with people or out for some dinner/drinks/movie... hehe. MY LIFE NOW.

attending an event after a busy day...

2-hr sleep, slept late and have to be up early for a feature...

again, no sleep... and i have to attend brunch with friends.

i think i slept a little while here :)

off to source some inspiration.

 

working all-night... my day started at 5pm :/

 BUT 

still

THANK YOU LORD 

for all the blessings!
