PATAK ~ A Benefit Concert

Patrick Donald Teng had an amazing vision in life. He dreamt of becoming a neuro surgeon and took up medicine at the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health. Not known to his own family, he supported charities while attending college and at the same time, offered much of his time doing volunteer work for different organizations and one of them was Hearts at Play.

Patrick was also an active member of The Company of Ateneo Dancers and was President of the Ateneo Medicine Dance Group. He brought joy to a lot of children through dance and even encouraged many of his group members to offer their time to make these children happy.

Unfortunately, all his amazing efforts had to take a side step when diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a rare type of brain cancer, which ended his dream of being a doctor. Despite his condition, his contagious positive outlook in life remained and Patrick continued his volunteer work even while in a wheelchair. He bravely fought for his recovery, but sadly, time dictated that he had to leave everything behind to join our Creator – gone too soon at the age of 25.


But as they say, everything has a season and a reason. Patrick’s parents were devastated and thought it best to continue what their loving son has started. In May 2017, the Patrick Donald Teng Foundation was founded in memory of their beloved son.

PATAK represents how a single drop in the water can create ripples in the ocean. It is a force, much like Patrick was. The concert will introduce the foundation by showing Patrick’s life and struggle with brain cancer, the lives he has touched, sharings by his doctors, and dance performances by various groups – all with the end goal of continuing what Patrick has started.



PATAK, a Benefit Show for Patrick Donald Teng Foundation is happening this  October 21, at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, Ateneo de Manila University at 6:00PM.

Celeb for a Day

Being a mom is rewarding and hard.  More often, we neglect our own selves because we always have to put our families before us. There are mommies who juggles family and career at the same time. Stay-at-home moms who focus in taking care of the family and household chores. Mommies who are working at home, doing online business, direct-selling, by appointment businesses like Financial Planners. Single-mothers who are both mom/dad and the breadwinner of the family. The list goes on. For every family, there is a unique kind of supermoms. I felt ecstatic when Waldy told me that I was one of the 5 chosen moms who will get a make over from SM Woman. He nominated me for SM Supermom Makeover and got picked out of more than 500 nominees. It was awesome!  I got a small glimpse of what celebrities and hosts do in photo and video shoots. We had before and after pictorial, professional make up artist and a professional stylist, Levenson Rodriguez to give us a day of transfo...

With Great Fashion Comes Great Confidence

Gone are the days when I used to fit in Small or Extra Small clothes. Nevertheless, I still consider myself a fashionista. At 32, I learned that confidence doesn't just rely on measurements. It comes with maturity, loving and knowing yourself and the body you have right now. Having two children, I learned that motherhood is never an excuse to let yourself go and not get all dolled-up and dressed-up from time to time. Aside from that, being an Independent Beauty Consultant, gives me a sense of responsibility to set an example and to make other women feel important and beautiful. To teach them to embrace their best assets and be proud of themselves. " You need to walk the talk in order for you to lead." Feeling like a queen at Mary Kay Career Conference 2017 At Manila Hotel for Mary Kay Philippine Seminar 2017. My fashion inspiration for this outfit is Gretchen Barreto. Her style is always a mix of feminine and sophistication. At Mary Kay Beauty Center ...
