Oh No It’s Johnny

Everybody knows who Johnny Litton is. The whole Philippines’ high society adores him. Multinational companies respect him. Hundreds of friends in high places love him. And when he calls and invites you, don’t even think about it, drop anything and everything you’re doing and just go.

 

 

Ay, walang flash.
With Johnny and Tess, his daughter- in- law.

 

 

I was a bit early so I had time to make usyoso. This young sous chef was cooking the Mushroom Risotto. Guy– “Bakit mam, mahilig kayong magluto?” Me- “Hindi, mahilig lang kumain”.
He taught me how. Saute minced garlic, chopped onions, then, then, oh naku I forgot what’s next.

 

 

This guy was frying meatballs.

 

 

Let’s check-out the food.

This is what you wear to a job interview if you want the HR to instantly remember you.

 

This is what you wear if you are meeting with the parents of your girlfriend for the first time.

 

 

If you want to get out of a bad relationship, show up at your dinner date looking like this.

Bea Tantoco, of the Rustan’s clan, rendered a few songs. She looked pretty in her nice lace dress. If your Lolo owns Rustan’s, there is no excuse to look ugly.

Bea’s first song was by the late Amy Winehouse. I thought it was so pitchy. The song was not bagay to her voice. She should pick songs that suit her voice’s tone and vocal range. Now I am sounding like Simon Cowell.

I felt so awkward watching and listening to her pitchy song. I have watched her performed before, and she was very good. I really think it’s the choice of song.

She sang two other songs and they turned out well.
