We love you very much Mama Renee!
Last January 17, 2012, M Cafe found itself swarming with beauty after the women of Renee Salud decided to celebrate his Entieth Birthday there!
When I arrived, there were nearly 10 beauty queens ahead of me – Desiree Verdadero (who organized the whole affair), Gem Padilla, Lou Bunyi, Peachy Sacasas, Michelle Bautista, Maricar Mendoza, Jennifer Barrientos, Patti Betita and Tina Orleans.
Those who arrived later than me were my Bb. Pilipinas ’85 batchmate Izza Gonzales and Marina Benipayo who was accompanied by boyfriend Richard/Ricardo Cepeda – yes, the romance between the beauty queen and the Contrabida actor started on the set of Binondo Girl just about 2 months ago. They looked absolutely stunning together – both tall and striking, one dark and the other fair… wishing the two a bright future together this 2012 and beyond!
Also in attendance, stylist Jay Lozada and a few others whose names escape me at the moment… if you recognize anyone in the photos that I did not list down, please leave a comment!
To Mama Renee Salud – Happy Birthday to you, you are such a blessing to all of us beauty queens; the wonderful things I enjoy today are because you adopted me eons ago when I was just 14, trained me how to walk and talk, dressed me (and gave me the occasional dressing-down too) and most importantly – turned the boyish me into the beauty queen me. I love you so very much and it blesses my heart to see you so bubbly and happy on your special day. Looking forward to more adventures with you! I love you Mama Renee Salud!
