Mom Violy requested Carmina to look for her favorite Tetley Decaffeinated Green Tea. The reason why Mom Violy drinks green tea that is decaffeinated is because she wants to be able to drink it and still be able to sleep.  Mom Violy claims it lowers her cholesterol level and makes her look young. It removes all the toxic from your body. Mom Violy drinks Tetley Decaffeinated Green Tea morning and night.  Carmina went looking at her favorite online Shopee Philippines.

Laughter with Mom Violy, Carmina, Ruel, Neria and Marissa

Mom Violy wanted to get a haircut from Ruel from Hairliners Salon in Ali Mall. She was saying if they are not too busy wanted to get a pedicure.  Ruel had introduce Marissa to Mom Violy who can do her pedicure. Neria had approached me saying she has no client. I was able to get my facial done while Mom Violy was busy having her beauty treatments. Mom Violy had introduced me to Marissa saying they wanted to add each other in Facebook. They had no clue how to do it. Both Mom Violy and Marissa handed their phone to me.  Ruel had informed Marissa that I am doing Poppo Live.  Marissa asked for some pointers how to use the Poppo Live application on her phone. I taught her the basics found out she is in an agency.  I don't understand why her agency is not giving her tips how to use Poppo Live.  Ruel had informed me he would also like to join Poppo Live just been so busy from his work. I told everyone to gather and take pictures together since we've haven't seen each other for a lo

Mom Violy Craving for ICHO Japanese Restaurant

Many of us who still have parents living close to you can relate to this they are getting older there will be moments when they will depend on you. I've noticed my own mother that she will continue to repeat herself for the hours you're with her. No matter if you've heard it many times can sound a broken record. The funny thing when you repeat yourself to them, they get annoyed with you.  Mom Violy had informed me that she would like to eat at  ICHO Japanese Restaurant .  The date I am to pick up Mom Violy after doing some of our morning errands.  I had informed Mom Violy it has been five years last dined inside ICHO Japanese Restaurant. Mom Violy couldn't remember when she last ate at the restaurant. I reminded it was with her friends Mom Lolet and Tita Edna being introduced to one another. It is a good thing some of us have good memories to remind our parents details they cannot recall.  Upon entering the person who approached us asked if we had a reservation. I said,

Mom Violy's Favorite Italian Restaurant at Parmigiano

Mom Violy was telling Carmina she wanted to eat at her new favorite Italian restaurant.  Mom Violy wanted to go early in the morning.  Upon entering  Parmigiano  there was a lot of customers who are already inside eating where there were less employees serving at eleven in the morning. Patience is the key and understanding their situation if you want to dine somewhere a place is new with promotion offer, we need to be considerate waiting for your turn. It was a disappointment most items in the menu wasn't available. Make sure you have a second choice to see if the item is available.  Mom Violy decided to share the 500 grams Rib Eye they had no mashed potato available. Mom Violy had ordered French fries with double order spinach for her sides.  I ordered the Cannelloni Con Ricotta E Salmone Affumicato. Family members had ordered Carbonara and Bolognese.   Even though the meals we wanted to eat wasn't available we understand because the restaurant is newly opened and there is a p

Carmina was reading articles in her laptop. She had notice something saying new restaurants that have recently opened. I went ahead and click it saw there was a new Italian restaurant had a soft opening on March 28, 2024. After reading into it found out there is a 50% off from April 2 to April 9, 2024, sent it to Mom Violy to see if she would be interested in trying the food.  Mom Violy said yes since she was already craving for Italian food. Just happen I found something for us to try. Parmigiano Ristorante Pizzeria  is located at the Gateway 2. There is no way to miss it often you see activities in the middle is art or entertainments. Good thing we had arrived early in the morning there was no one yet inside.  A server had handed us the menu for us to read. Mom Violy couldn't decide what she wanted to order between rib eye or pasta. Mom Violy figured if she couldn't finish her food, she can always take it home.  Rib Eye Alla Griglia with spinach and mashed potatoes.  Fettucci

Carmina the Stray 🐈Cat in Poppo Live

Carmina realized when she runs out of coin in Poppo Live. She can just easily withdraw from her account and transfer the amount she needs to make it enough. We can give ourselves a limit on how much we want to spend by giving gifts to others. Those who don't know Carmina is an agent in Poppo Live just don't have anyone working with me. I am solo flight. I am enjoying myself because there are no rules and obligation.  I had trade my 5k of coins to Risa. While we are seating down at the crown chair we are sending gifts to each other. It was exciting sending gifts to those who are participate.  There are moments Poppo is being stringy not giving any coins back to you. Other times we can win coins back just for an experience I decided to give 10 cheer sticks to each person. I won 3,000 coins back from me. Amy had introduced me to her sister in-law and cousin. These are the three who I have been trading my coins.  We are four simple Filipina who haven't met each other in person.

Welcome Wandering Jew Plant to a New Home

Carmina has adjusted herself in the home she currently lives in.  Factor is when we begin seeing how we need to make the home air free by adding plants. Carmina is not a plant person.  Reality is when the air and construction of the neighborhood is affecting you to get allergies.  We need to find a solution. I remember growing up in California. Mom Violy had a lot of house plants inside her home. Carmina asked Mom Violy if she can help me out find plants. I can put downstairs and upstairs in the house. Mom Violy said, look for what kind of plants would be good in your home. Mom Violy had informed Carmina that we can buy the soil. Carmina said, I'd prefer the one that already has a soil. I don't think I have a green thumb.  I have no clue how to do it.  Carmina and Mom Violy went shopping at Quezon City Memorial Circle to see what plants to buy. Every summer we know this the best time to do their gardening in their homes.  Mom Violy couldn't believe the prices of the indoor
