When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice.

My Friends

For the past month I have been listening to depressing love songs. There is a music I keep listening over again. When I listen to that song I can feel what the person is going through. Everyone goes through a heart break from a relationship or from a close friend who you have might of miss. Sometime you want to hear from them. You don't want to disturb them. Maybe they are having a rough time. But, you are unsure what they are going through. Everyone shows a different feeling to move themselves from being seen. No matter what they are going through I hope they know I am always there for them. If, they need that space from the what they are involved them.
