A Filipina at heart, from the city of smiles in the sugarlandia of Central Philippines. I was born in the year of the tiger during the mermaide month.
A mother of two kids, our invaluable treasures, Colleen who just turned 17 last July and Alexandre who is 14 years of age. United to my Romeo for more than 18 years, life has been a blissful one. He is from the city of light and he means that truly to us.
Juggling my career, motherhood and wifehood is a gift yet I miss my being with them at all times. Taking care of them in timelss moments is one of my greatest achievements. But in the course of our expatriate life, being a working mom will always be a challenge.
Winner of the Mask Competition
Dear Friends - It has been cold in Dhaka lately, we get to wear our boots, jackets, wool cardigans and linen pants. We get to wear socks inside the house and sweaters over our pyjama to warm ourselves. This is never like this in Dhaka for quite sometime. So got more time home and I was slowly organizing our albums. And would like to share with your our last UN Masquerade Ball. It was, as always jumpacked with guests of 450people, from different International Organizations, private entrepreneurs and Embassies. A gathering of diplomats, Bangladesh Elite and expatriates supporting the cause and enjoying the ball at the same. Our welfare projects and drives for the cyclone victims are really well supported..
We had mask and face painting competitions initially. Since no one came with a painted face, it was then a mask competition all the way. We got two winners and I was one of them. 
The European Commission Ambassador awarded my price which I still did not open until now. Apparently, it's a dinner set. We had some art auction that night and raffle draw. It was a dinner gala on a table setting with dance at the end of the program. 
It was organized by the ball committee and the members of the executive board of UNWA (United Nations Women's Asso). Lovely masks were parading that night in different styles and colors. We had a face painting game too.
White masks were provided in the table and the guests painted it with the talents they have.
. It was fun and night worth spending for the victims of the cyclone. This affair is months of preparation, to get everyone together at one time. Booking the band, booking the hotel, making the poster, food tasting, decorators, writing letters to embassies and sponsors,sending them after, making brochures and menu and arranging the art auction. So much to do yet we had the most and it was such a great accomplishment for the board and members of UNWA. Welcome all to our masquerade ball.http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=18960701&uid=4491712&members=1
