It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...
So many people have their phone
with them at the table when they are about to eat or starting. No matter what
the reason is someone next to you question who you're messaging as you keep
smiling at your phone or laughing?
There some people who are next to
careless to ask who you are messaging it doesn't seem any of your business.
At that moment I was talking to one
of my childhood friend who we have known each other since we're kids. Our
parents knew it each other and as his mom passed away many years ago. We've
always try to keep in touch.
His dad was at the dating stage and
my mom was already single by then. We tried to match up our parents together.
His father was already dating someone who was even my step mother's best
friend.
My guy friend Bert always treated
me as his sister no matter if we have been friends for a long time.
There was a point in our life when
we're in our 20's he was dating one of my close friends. It turned around them
not marrying each other due it wasn't fate. He had met his wife in the
Philippines during the time he was traveling.
As years past on we didn't see each
other anymore because we had our separate married life.
Facebook came around and we started
connecting to each other. I was close to his siblings who are his entire
sister.
I added his entire sister in my
Facebook.
Many years later he was diagnosed
an illness that is not cure able. He never wants to see me in person feeling
pity among his appearance. We always find time to chat in Facebook messenger.
Every time I chat with him we just
pass each other our pictures.
Today, at the breakfast table my
husband was asking who I was laughing too as I am sending Bert a message. He
was probably thinking I had a boyfriend of some sort. But our names has been
changed to Brother for Bert and my name as Sister.
Anyway life becomes a challenge
when someone you are married too question who your talking too and no doubt you
are not doing anything foolish to hurt your marriage.
I didn't mind him and still kept
messaging my friend.
