When asked who my idols are, I would mention Tita Nene Leonor at the top of my exclusive list. That’s because she epitomizes the woman who is living life to the fullest!
A lover of life and good times, Tita Nene still enjoys parties and loves to spend time with us. Recently, we celebrated a milestone together as she turned 90 years young. One party is not enough, of course!
I organized her first party last November at one of our favorite places. We had an excellent dining experience, and I made sure to invite those near and dear to Tita Nene. It was an evening filled with love and laughter for sure!
Her second celebration was in December and another intimate evening, this time hosted by the Lhuilliers — her BFF Edna with her husband, Philippe Lhuillier, the Ambassador of the Philippines to Spain. They welcomed us to their beautiful home in Dasmariñas Village, Makati where we enjoyed a wonderful home-cooked sit-down dinner in their lanai. The gracious hosts even showered us with some giveaways! It was a lovely evening, everyone agreed.
Such great ways to celebrate the iconic Tita Nene. She has been such an amazing role model and friend to many. I’m so grateful I have known her all these years and she deserves all the parties to celebrate her wisdom and youthfulness, two attributes that seldom go together. What a great woman Tita Leonor is.
