Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

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...

Moment like this when we get older and we have lost a lot of weight we see our body changing the way it looks. We start to sag and seem unhappy how our body figure look like being covered from our clothing. How do you we make ourselves feel comfortable in changing the way our body looks as we get older? As we read in the Internet and find out collagen is something to make yourself youthful and restore your body to give it's tightness in your skin. We realize there are so many things out there. I have read so many articles to compare based on someone Else's experience. I know life is a gamble and you need to take a risk if you are no longer happy your body look. Every year we aged and the way we look it never the same. I realized that when I have lost so much weight. I thought I had looked good from the outside appearance. I realized when I saw how I look from the inside. I looked so shock and unhappy with myself even if no knew what I was feeling about myself. I am...

Funny Moments

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 aroun...

9 Different Conversation to Encounter

Conversation that you will encounter when someone tells a story : 1.     Not Paying Attention 2.     Tack less  3.     Interruptions 4.     Bragging 5.     Dazing 6.     Dozing  7.     Broadcast 8.     Lying 9.     Not Serious Not Paying Attention : I hate the most is when you are converse with someone and they are not paying attention to what you are telling them. I feel I am talking to the wall. You no longer find interest in repeating what you just told them earlier. I tend to just walk away from them and not bother with them anymore. I use to say, side comments as I leave them. I learn to just walk away and don't bother talking to them anymore. Tack less : I have someone who talks to you and it is not related to what your conversation is about. It becomes tack less to me to bring up something th...

Group Chat in Facebook Messenger

Today, I made a group chat in Facebook messenger for my mom and her best friend. We are planning for our upcoming trip to celebrate our birthday. I had received a quotation from our travel agent and decided to make a group chat for the both of them. I figured it would be easier on me so I don't need to send the same message individually. It turned out my mom typed a message that her best friend is not suppose to read. I only found out after I had read her message. I tried signing on my mom's Facebook account. I was too late. Her friend already read the message. My mom called me up getting mad at me. She said, it was my fault that she had typed the message in the wrong place. I told my mom how it can be my fault when I didn't type it. It didn't make it easier on me as I thought it would have been. It became more complicated and had to meddle in between and explain it to her friend that read a message. Good thing her friend didn't take the...

New Travel Plans

You have decided to book an upcoming business or pleasure trip. Check List : Check if your passport for expiration date. Most countries allow only six months expiration date before your departure. For Filipino Passport you are required to renew one year ahead of the expiration date. Schedule for your Visa if needed. Some visa are available online for a certain amount of payment fee to process. There are some Embassy or Consulate will not allow to rush or expedite your renewal on your passport or visa. It is best to do it ahead of time. It will take time for approval to grant your visa. Booking your flight ahead of time is non-transferable or non refundable ticket. Buying a airfare ticket is taking a gamble whether your visa gets approved or not. Or if your passport will arrive on time.
