Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

My Thoughts



When I have a problem I tend to keep my thoughts in my head

I find it easier to write or type it in Microsoft Word

I put all my feelings on a piece of paper or type it in my laptop

I can easily express what I am feeling inside when I write it up

All my thoughts comes out and what I am feeling comes out easily not like anyone who can express themselves in front of a person

I grew up being self centered and kept my thoughts away from everyone

I wrote poems that no one knew only my close friends

I shared it with them 

They tend to use it for whomever they plan to date

How do you express yourself?

I see people expressing themselves by the way they dress when they are feeling high and feeling down.

I see people drinking alcohol with a group of friends or just being alone at home.

I see people buying clothes or unnecessary item to relieve the pain they are feeling inside.

I see people eating up and filling up their stomach until they can not stand up.

I see people cleaning and rearranging their home to remove all the memories they had from a break up.

I have friends who hibernate themselves from the world around them. 

I see people post in the social media what comes in their mind

Everyone in this world shows a different way how they feel when they are feeling down in the dumps.

How does someone return back to life?

Sometimes people need to be left alone to figure what is the next step

Some people need a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on

Some people need a ear to listen and give them the right advice

Some people express themselves in a different way 

We tend to find other meaning of life when we have discovered our friend has always been with us even when we are feeling the lowest moment in our life

Not many people can find a friend that is always there for them and will not judge who they are

What kind of friend are you?

I have close friends who tend to be secretive.

I have close friends who open up about their life.

I have close friends who just come and go when they need a friend.

I have close friends who are always next to your side.

I have close friends who lie about their life and make you a fool believing their stories

I have close friends who talk behind your back.

No matter what kind of friend you are I am not the type who will judge you for your actions

I am not the type of person who reacts and get mad easily

I am a friend who is always there for you

I am a friend who I don't take my friends for granted

I am a friend who is there when you need me

I am a friend who will drive you around and bring you where you want to go

I am a friend who can cook you a meal

I am a friend who you can always rely on

I am a friend who you can trust 

I am a friend who is nice to everyone

I am a friend who gives moral advice and give courage

For me all my friends you will always be in my thoughts

One thing I hate the most if you lie and hold a secret 

That is one thing I can no longer trust


That trust will take a long time for me to open my heart again
