Rica Peralejo: Havana-style home

The bathroom centerpiece is a huge white ceramic bathtub, a cherished possession that came with a high price tag. Says Rica: "Noong una, when I was buying it, parang, ‘Oh no, it's very mahal!' But I really fell in love with it." She adds that she loves taking baths: "'Yong mga scrub, mga scented bubble bath, gusto ko 'yon."

And why is the toilet bowl pink? "I don't even like pink. Ang favorite color ko talaga is purple. But I wanted 'yong medyo may character, so 'yon lang ang reason why I got a pink toilet bowl."

Iya Villania: Home away from home

Gina Bocar, who painted the colorful walls, did the aboriginal-style wall painting in the guests' powder room. The painting reflects Iya's Australian roots.

"Gina had a book of paintings like this, and this was the one that we wanted," Iya says. "One, 'cause it's kinda aboriginal. And Aussie I guess."

Donita Rose welcomes a new baby into her home

There are two bathrooms in the house. This one is inside the master bedroom. The huge glass panels provide a good view of the neighborhood. It's likely to be a dramatic view, since the Villarama's unit is on the eight floor of the Dahlia Park building.

Not seen here is another shower head at the opposite end of the bathtub. Yes, there are two of them, so that two people can actually take a shower at the same time. Our photographer Lester is actually amused by that design concept. "Cool," he says.

"Sabi ko noon sa sarili ko, 'pag nagkabahay ako gusto ko parang hotel. E, 'di ba sa mga hotel me malalaking bath tub? Nagpalagay ako. Pagka-gamit, pinapalinis ko agad, para ding sa hotel. Ayoko ng me tulo at basa-basa sa paligid. Ang nakakatawa lang, ang sabon ko dito Likas Papaya. Aba, iyan ang nagpaputi sa akin! Ilang taon ko na kasing ginagamit."
