Twice the celebration!

“The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.” – Oprah Winfrey

A lady well-loved by her family and friends best describes the endearing Estela Lopez as she celebrated her birthday not only once but twice! First was a luncheon held at El Cirkulo in Makati City where restaurant manager Malu Gamboa prepared a mouthwatering Spanish feast for the celebrator and her beloved guests.

Meanwhile, the second birthday bash was held at Makati Shangri-La’s Inagiku restaurant where everyone was treated to a variety of authentic and flavorful Japanese dishes. The gracious celebrator felt truly blessed as she was surrounded by the people closest to her heart on both occasions, making this year a very memorable one for her.

Here’s to another magnificent year, Estela!
