Bollywood ball for lovely debutante from South

Leave it to Cosmopolitan to make it rain men, men and more men. This was what happened, dahlings, when it held the awesome Cosmo Bachelor Bash 2011.

And what a night it was! There was deafening screaming from the girls all throughout the show as the incredibly handsome hunks with bodies to-die-for paraded, dahlings.

Fearless females couldn’t get enough of the sexy show featuring this year’s steamy Cosmo Centerfold hunks, such as Fabio Ide, Daniel Matsunaga, JC Tiuseco, Rafael Rosell, Mark Herras and Aljur Abrenica.

Après that 9.9-magnitude earthquake of a show, the World Trade Center returned to normal, natch.

Debutante’s ball and cotillon

She was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where her parents had met. She was blessed with beauty, brains, breeding and bucks during her growing-up days in Cosmo Manille, blooming into the stunningly gorgeous woman who was introduced to society during her debut ball, palanggas.

Debutante Sarah Justine Malli Fuerte’s parents are popular Ilonggo businessman Jungi Fuerte and Mindanao princess Putli Jahllia Malli-Fuerte, who left no stone unturned for their only daughter’s coming-out happening at the Grand Ballroom of Manille’s posh Sofitel.

The ballroom was transformed into an Arabic-Bollywood-themed glamour place.

Sarah Justine was the dazzling star of Bollywood, wearing a feathered stunner by  designer Joel Escobar. Her escort was Mark San Juan, and when the two entered the ballroom, there was a burst of applause and cheers.

Although the weather that day was in a foul mood, all 400 or so invitees breezed into the ballroom with elegance.

Providing great entertainment were the multi-awarded Annie Sartorio-Divinagracia Dancers, who were jetted in from bustling Iloilo by Jungi, exclusively for his daughter’s once-in-a-lifetime night, dahlings!

Naturellement, what’s a debut without a cotillion? So, as expected, palanggas, a grand one was performed for our Princess of the Day by her classmates at Southville Foreign University. Surprising back her classmates, Sarah Justine performed a piano solo. Later, they let their hair down on the dance floor, palanggas.

Sarah said she had enrolled at Southville Foreign University because “it has a wonderful curriculum that will allow me to receive a UK diploma from here in the Philippines and attain a master’s degree within four years.” She said she would continue her studies in the US and expressed thanks that God has given her a lot of blessings.

Cheers, palangga!

Welcome, kiwi

Kiwi is a favorite fruit of mine and I have always looked forward to sinking my teeth into its juicy flesh, dahlings.

Modern Zespri has declared the arrival of kiwi season in our town, dahlings. It brings to the Philippines the freshest, juiciest and highest-quality kiwi fruits, which are at last available in supermarkets and select stores nationwide, palanggas.

Jetting in from Singapore to launch the Zespri kiwi season at the excellent Cerveseria in Greenbelt 3, dahlings, was the super-charming Steve Bunyan, Zespri regional market development manager for Southeast and South Asia.

Joining Bunyan was Dexter Difuntorum of Fresh Studio Innovations Asia, the exclusive marketing arm of Zespri Kiwifruit in the Philippines, and Kingson Chan of Elite Marketing.

“We’re extremely excited to bring the delicious and nutritious kiwifruit experience to Filipinos, who can enjoy Zespri kiwifruit anytime, as it is naturally fresh, full of flavor, safe and good for everyone’s health,” said Steve Bunyan.

“Zespri Kiwifruit comes from Mount Maunganui, and offers a range of premium kiwifruit products like Zespri Gold and Zespri Green, to cater to any person’s taste preference from the heart of New Zealand’s kiwifruit industry,” Bunyan added.

Guests enjoyed kiwi shakes, fresh kiwi slices and a dessert of panna cotta with kiwi glaze. Everything was made magical by the refreshing and delicious goodness of Zespri kiwifruits, dahlings.
