One for the books
“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” — Thomas Aquinas
Dynamic power couple Madison Galeries owners Joel and Joy Rustia recently hosted an unforgettable celebration in honor of your columnist.
The couple’s equally stylish friends attended the event held at the elegantly decorated Madison Events Place of Madison Galeries in Muntinlupa City.

After enjoying some refreshing cocktails, we partook of a lavish Japanese buffet catered by Aburi, owned by Louie and Rachelle Almario. Afterwards, we indulged in a delightful array of desserts from Relish, owned by Pacita Almario. It was a lovely glimpse into Madison Galeries’ many dining choices as both restaurants are located on the second floor of the lifestyle hub. Energized by the gastronomic feast, our friends then danced the night away to some wonderful swing music.
I have attended so many celebrations in my life, but I can honestly say this one was truly unforgettable and one for the books.
Thank you, Joel and Joy, for an extraordinary evening!
