Interview # 3: Lot Eligio, Manila

I was with Lot last night at Van Gogh is Bipolar (quirky artsy restaurant along Maginhawa).  It was her idea to go there and I was so glad we went.  It was a different experience --- and we all need that once in a while.

Lot's one of those friends I call when I just want to laugh and relax.  
I asked her about her most memorable recent purchase and her motivation...and I got a confirmation on why she's such a terrific friend: she loves being connected to friends.  
Nothing's that amazing unless you share the experience with friends.  Right, Lot?
