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...

Friendship vs Money


Why do people complain about someone, but cannot really let go?

Why do people say, bad things about someone when they are upset when they really can’t let go?

Why do people care if you hang out with someone who is bad for you?

Did you ever have a friend who always complains about a person than the following day you see them together?

You are unsure what have said, but really don’t mean from being mad at someone.

My friend said, the bets you make are not certain what our life will be until we reach that part in our life.

Sometimes you make a pack to promise we will no longer do it, but do we really mean it.

I am confused with my friend she complains so much, but you wonder why she complains so much of a certain person.

She feels guilty when she is not with that person.

Why do people feel guilty when they are not with that person?

Why do people hold on to the friendship and never want to let go?

Why do people complain so much, but never doubt what they complain about it?

Why does it bother you so much?

You see your friend suffer being so nice as she is, but her friend treat her the opposite and takes advantage of her by letting her spend her own money from her pocket.

My friend always complains, but she doesn’t do anything about it.

Friendship to me is a two way street.

Friendship and money doesn’t match.

Money ruins your friendship.

I’ve had experience in my past when I was single I had a friend who always wanted to eat out, but when the bill came she always gave an excuse.

The excuses start from having that they left their money in their wallet that is in the car.

They are never there when the bill comes and I have experience this so many times.

Always have extra cash in your wallet and inform your friends ahead of time when you do plan to eat out that it will be dutch (pay your own).

This way it prevents a misunderstanding with your friendship or take turns treating each other out.

There are other ways to do it.

I’ve learn to have a separate bill this way it doesn’t affect your friendship.

No one runs away from paying their bill.

Never loan money to your friends this is a big NO.

It will be hard to ask the money from them and they will make so many excuses until you are really fed up and you sound like a loan shark.

I hate nagging and asking for the payment.

Too stressful and you wonder when they will pay you back.

You will come across when they pretend they have never borrowed money from you.

Always have a promissory note and have a witness this way you have your own proof.
