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 ...

End of the Year

As the year approaches people start to list down the things they would like to accomplish on the coming year. Sometimes we write it down on a notebook, but never come to the point to check mark stuff we have done off from our list. Sometime we pretend we will do it and keep putting it off. I am proud of myself this year I have accomplished more on what I didn't expect. I gave myself a goal to strive and make my life better. I have close friends who told me I need to find myself and do something I will enjoy doing for my future. Just like everyone else we have our own baggage's. We also have pain in our hearts. When those feelings are no longer there we want to move on forward and not backwards. We want to change for ourselves and not for someone else. We don't want to look back at the pain. We want to be happy and strive something more for ourselves. We always think of our children and let them have a better life. We explain to them each day to do what...

Cover of A Book, Face and Social Media

Every book has a cover just like people we have a face. We open that book as we turn the pages. We look face to face to someone we only can see how they look. We cannot read the mind of a person. Some people have a social media account. We glance and look at their profile picture it will be their face, object that means to them so much or just a scenery. What ever it is. It represent the person they are. Did you know sometimes there are people who hide who they are? In their social media it can be an imaginary life. A life what they want to misjudge their audience. Just like when you glance at a person we don't really  know what that person feels until they express their emotional feelings. Not like in a book everything is written down as you read the thoughts from the author. Last night I was searching a new beach place to explore for the end of this year. I came up with a picture of a couple my friend knew. I asked, her why she hasn't removed her past i...
