We all know moving to a new environment is a difficult decision. When a home has been vacant for one year there are items that no longer function property. Only way to know what works and doesn't is to actually live in the home. We grow up raised to clean our homes and make it organized. Moving into a home you see things that may distract yourself by figuring out what needs to be done. Manang V had asked if she can have my kitchen table when I left the previous home. I figured the time I had assemble that old table was during my pandemic years. I decided to make another purchase for a kitchen table that is a bit taller in height. I felt having to many appliances can add on to your room. Carmina made her purchase from  Amaia Furniture  Shopee Philippines. I have made a purchase from them in the past. The type of table I had purchase in their descriptions was the  Amaia Furniture Multi layer Shelf Standing Storage Shelf Cabinet Space saving Microwave Oven Rack  for 1,320.00 pesos not

We have friends who love to eat out and have no clue where there are places to dine.  No problem with based on my experience we can refer them to places that are reasonable prices. Carmina had tried Sundays Cafe in the branch located in Marikina. I was informed by the server they will be opening their second location sometime this year. Few days ago, Mom Violy, Carmina and some friends came with us to see the new branch of Sundays Cafe and Restaurant in Maginhawa, Quezon City. There is parking in front of the restaurant.  We walked in and noticed a sign saying it was a soft opening. The place was full yet they we're able to accompany us to our table on the ground floor. Someone working there gave us a tour upstairs where the function rooms to those having a party.  The restroom is unisex the first door has the handicap and two restroom doors for male and female to use. The two menus were handed to us one is Filipino and International food.  Next the utensils, napkins, glass water p

Everyone treats themselves when payday comes with food to enjoy. Carmina was craving for pizza at  Greenwich Philippines . She had noticed a new item it is Honey-Glazed Spinach & Pepperoni. I decided to order the personal size which is the 6" four slices of pizza for 190.00 pesos ($3.45) through Grab Delivery. What are ingredients in Honey-Glazed Spinach & Pepperoni Overload?

People living in the Philippines always thought that every month of November when persimmon are in season. We can only purchase it coming from Korea.  Mom Violy found out it can purchase from Baguio Market_mnl  located every weekend inside Robinsons Magnolia at the ground floor. Baguio Market Manila have seasonal vegetables and fruits that are in season. The price of the persimmon is 60 pesos ($1.09) per piece.  Mom Violy said, there is no seed in the middle shown on the photo. Mom Violy said, it is sweet just like what you get from the United States. Those who are living in the Philippines you can purchase persimmon coming from Sagada. Since the climate is cold just in the United States, they are able to plant and harvest it there.

Every week Carmina spends time with Mom Violy to eat out. Those who have parents make sure you spend time with them. Living alone sometimes they have no appetite to eat on their own. Or they'll say they ran out of food to eat in their home. Our parents are getting older and one day they say they'll not be around. Mom Violy has been craving to eat prime rib for a very long time. Walking inside Robinsons Magnolia is a restaurant we saw it said,  Prime Steak House  that has been newly open since October 2023. The menu is on a clip board shown like this for you to look through and see what you want to order. Upon your order those who don't want to eat the buffet can order it ala carte just a regular serving for your food and each dish pick two types of side dishes (steak rice, mashed potato and fries with ketchup). On the table there is seasoning can used on your steak the popular often used. Example: I had ordered the Hickory Barbecue Ribs with mashed potato and steak rice. Wh

Carmina had her Cartier watch replaced with a new battery. The watch was given by Mom Violy. The last time Carmina had the battery replaced was year 2019. Did you know the battery of the watch expire?  The expiration is indicated on the package and the top of the battery. Did you know there are different types of battery for the watch?  It all depends on the brand maker on the watch. Are aware leaving a battery in your watch can ruin it for a long period? Christian who worked on my Cartier asked where I stored my watch. I had informed him that I have a jewelry case. He said, I was lucky because my Cartier watch is working fine. During my visit Christian had open up my Cartier watch. He had replaced it with a Cartier battery. I was informed he will need to observe and see if the second hand will move to determine there is nothing wrong with it. Carmina asked Christian if she can take a video. She explained she is a blogger. He said it was alright. EYC Watch Service Center also do the fo

Everyone should know Mom Violy calls TGI FRIDAYS is a station when upon dropping by to get something to eat. Upon exploring inside  Shangri-La Plaza  there was places Mom Violy was trying to recall when she last visited with her friends. Carmina has never been inside she had no clue what restaurants was inside. There were so many floors of restaurant in each area. The only was look at the directory for each level. Hunger strikes Mom Violy was unsure where she wanted to dine.  Mom Violy made a choice to dine inside TGI FRIDAYS American Bar and Grill. The theme of  TGI FRIDAYS  was Halloween. They gave out treats to those who had approached them in their costumes. It just reminded me when I was a kid once going inside the shopping mall during those days. Mom Violy decided to eat the Riblets with one choice of side dish. Mom Violy decided to get the garlic rice with corn. Carmina also ordered the same only difference I asked, for French fries with corn. The person who came with us ordered
