Krista Ranillo puts up a new botique courtesy of Manny Pacquiao

WE JUST RETURNED from the U.S. and the loudest whisper in L.A. is that Krista Ranillo has got a new boutique there and she got the capital to put it up from Manny Pacquiao. Krista denies this, saying the boutique is really owned by her first cousin named Dave Tupaz. Krista's mom is Linda Tupaz.

While in San Francisco, we got to meet in person one of our regular readers, Jeannie Wong, who lives with her husband Casey and their three kids in San Jose (about 45 minutes away from San Fo.) We just want to thank Jeannie for the yummy cheese and stained window cake she specially baked for us.
