BC PHILIPPINES PLAYDATE COVER

Well, it's kind of a late post, but regardless, my kids and I are thrilled to be on the 2nd Anniversary cover of BC Magazine Philippines with our Playdate cover contest winners, Monaliza Vallejos and her kids! What an experience and treat it is seeing our broods on the front page. It was great to have made new friends in the process, too. It's hard to imagine my son, Mathis, was barely 2-months when we shot this. Now he's almost 4-months old. I shudder at how fast time flies, and how slowly I lose the baby weight. Another of my life's ironies...

Anyway, we share a double-cover special with the stunning Lily from mega-hit TV show, Gossip Girl, Kelly Rutherford (photographed by my husband, and co-photographed and styled by myself). I'll make a separate post on Kelly's another time (because I love her), but just know that this issue is a must-read if only for Kelly's cover story and photos alone.

We thought it would be a great idea to give something to our readers that other magazines can't (apart from giving them a variety of prizes worth about P60,000), so this is what came out of it. By the way, all of you pregnant moms and those with younger kids should watch out for a cool giveaway. The prize is in one of these photos. I'll tell you more about it next week. So giddy with excitement already, I'm dying to tell you all!

Please grab a copy and I hope you enjoy the photos shot by my husband and assisted by Mark Cabalang (who incidentally celebrates his birthday today!), and the interview done by our Senior Editor, Valerie del Castillo. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart...
