    About Me
    I was born in the Philippines, but came to Southern California when I was 5 and have been here ever since. I come from a large family (small immediate family, but over 70 members in my extended family - Filipinos definitely know how to procreate). I have a BA in Psychology and was at one time studying to be a Marriage, Family and Child Counselor. I actually was a volunteer counselor for a year and having the name Abby and "giving advice" during that time certainly brought up some funny comments. :) Being a counselor wasn't my calling in the end and instead, I switched gears and became a graphic designer. So now I make things pretty. :-D
    Why I joined
    I joined because I always enjoy meeting new people.
    My Best MEETin event story ( please only fill in after you have been to an event )
    Honestly, I have no favorite event because at each and every event I attend and/or host, I get to spend time with awesome people, some of whom I may have known for a long time, others a short time and still others that I may have just met. Regardless of how long I may have known someone, I take away the knowledge that I've met someone special. :)

I'm glad I joined

    Abby opened a new door for me. Her kindness and generousity are just a few of her amazing qualities. She captures the moment with her incredible photos and you feel as if you are right there with her.

    Abby is an amazing organizer. I don't know how she finds the time and energy to research and organize so many dining events. Because of her, I've visited parts of town and gone to restaurants that I would never have heard about. Thanks for expanding my horizons!

    My short time in LA was absolutely wonderful thanks in part to the numerous dining events I attended with Abby! Her events were always fantastic and I will miss trying new and exciting cuisine with her and our fellow foodies! Joining meetinLA was the best thing I did while in LA..."my second home"!!! When life brings me there again I will definately work an Abby event into my visit!

    <-( Lisa says ;-)
    Abby makes me so happy with her dedication to finding the best this city has to offer. She takes the time and does magnificent research so we all learn something new every time we read about one of her events, attend an event or check out a restaurant review. I do not know of a more generous, loving or dedicated food aficionado and I am proud to be her friend and client. Abby you rock, thank you so much for all you do for us.

    <-( May says ;-)
    Abby is fantastic! Her events are fun, informative, and very well planned out. Abby is kind and considerate of all that join in any of her events... and it is evident that she truly enjoys what she does. Thanks Abby! and keep up the GREAT work!

    <-( ken says ;-)
    Abby is such a good host and organizer. Thank you for putting together all these events.

    <-( Fernando says ;-)
    A culinary encyclopedia, friendly, and personable. My new found Zagat, the A.B.B.Y. 3000, got me edjuamacated in delicious fashion with Nicaraguan cuisine as my first MiLA event. Trust me, you got to go out and get one yourself before supplies last!

    <-( Vincent says ;-)
    Abby hosted a wonderful event - bbq grill and game nite - where I felt at ease the moment I walked in and was made welcome. I look forward to attending many more of her events. Thanks Abby!

    <-( Teena says ;-)
    Abby is a great event coordinator! I love her events! She's a fellow foodie and always comes up with fun events. She is so organized that you never have to worry about anything. It's all taken care of with Abby. I've known Abby for a few years and she's always been friendly and sociable. The events she hosts are unique and well thought out. I was so happy to see her join MiLA. I knew we would all benefit from her membership. I've enjoyed knowing Abby all this time and really look forward to attending more of her events and getting to know her better. Thanks for the great events and your warm hospitality Abby!

    <-( Burt says ;-)
    Abby is a very nice person and she has great events that are one of a kind. The restaurant events are well organized. If you want to lead a restaurant event, go to one of Abby's and see how she does it. Her organization of the restaurant event is the model that has been copied by many people. I have a great time on all of Abby's events.

    Abby was the first person I hired at my last company and I loved working with her for over 10 years. She's very creative yet very calm and patient, even when things get crazy. She is an event planner supreme, adverturess, karaoke queen, fabulous hostess and tireless organizer. She's my friend and I am proud of her.

    Abby is the most gracious host I have ever met. She makes you feel welcomed whether at her home, dinner, luncheon or a museum event. I always look forward to spending time with her and the wonderful circle of friends that she includes. I hope to be included in many more. As far as the kareoke queen, try telling that to some of the establishments that no longer admit me on kareoke night, I think I may have broken a glass or damaged someone's hearing.

    Abby is a genuine, delightful, down-to-earth person that you definitely have to meet. Not only does she know all the best places in LA for food and historic curiosity, but she has a fantastic singing voice to boot! Her parties are the absolute BEST and she is a most gracious hostess. A place at Abby's table is always a wonderful place to be. /Jeannie :)
