Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
We usually have a dance team per three groups this time we broke out from traditional and just dance when we wanted too. We just had parlor games for the employees. This year and any year we always have the same menu for our Christmas Party. This time it was held late and we're able to bond with our guest and family members with the employee. Musical Chairs the concept the female has to seat on the guy's lap when the music stops. It stops when there is only two female after the lap of the guy. No worries the winner is doing well. She is happy. She has money as her prize. For the employee who wanted to dance to a 70's song to impress their boss to bring back old memories. This time I didn't stress and enjoy myself from the party since I have given out the employee and their family members their Christmas gifts before our party.
