As much as possible I don’t want to have a full schedule on fridays because the heavy traffic wears me out and gets into my nerves. But since there are no more vacant schedules, I agreed to meet with Grace Tiongco and award-winning photographer of A-list people, Rupert Jacinto, last friday for lunch.
I set the time at 11:30, then I moved it to 12:30, then to 12 noon. Fickle me! No, I moved it for better time management.
I arrived in Greenbelt 5 at 11:40 am.
I was the first to arrive.
I flipped through their menu while waiting for my companions.
Is that supposed to be Stockbroker salad? Mayaman siguro mga stockbroker kasi ang mahal naman nitong salad na ito.
For Grace, Seafood Bisque
I ordered Mushroom Capuccino
For Grace, red grape shake
Ceertified Black Angus beef
Grilled Tiger Prawns with pesto mashed potato
Grace and I split this rhum cake with ice cream 50/50.
Rupert Jacinto with wife Tina. Rupert is the man behind the Fabulous coffee table book. He is also the photographer of every person that would be featured.
He made me sign a simple letter saying that I have agreed to be included in this year’s Most Fabulous. This means I could no longer back out.
Rupert and Tina were childhood friends and neighbors in Leon Guinto.
They lived in the East Coast for many years but settled back in Manila because of Rupert’s successful career as photographer.
We’ve decided to do the photo shoot at the Makati Ford’s showroom in August.
