When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

After a road trip and exploring the area, Mom Violy requested some seafood and was given a recommendation to dine at  Breakthrough Restaurant . When we entered the restaurant, we saw it was bustling with customers, and Mom Violy asked for a table by the window to enjoy the beach view . The server informed us that we needed to place our order at the counter and choose the seafood to be weighed, similar to the process at Dampa . Tita Edna was busy snapping photos, while Carmina was filming as Mom Violy placed her order. Breakthrough isn’t air-conditioned, but they provide electric fans at your table for comfort. Mom Violy wanted sinigang and was deciding which kind of fish to have with her soup. Mom Violy requested the crab and shrimp to be cooked in butter and garlic. Mom Violy also ordered adobong pusit (squid). Tita Edna placed her own order, which was kilawin na dilis . Carmina wanted fresh lumpia , but since it wasn’t available, she opted for pinakbet instead. Everything seeme...

Being Grateful

Just over the weekend my mom wanted to go shopping at Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan to get her pedicure. I was telling my mom lets do it on March 11 when I will be renewing another cell phone contract from my Globe account.

Good thing my mom said, she wanted to shop somewhere else and she gave me list of days to pick out for this week.

I told my mom let me check the schedule of my boys so I can figure out how I can squeeze myself in their schedule.

I decided to go on Monday, March 2 with my mom.

When I came home that day I had heard in the news there was a locked down in Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan. You realize to this point if I didn't choose a date to shop with my mom somewhere else we would be involve in that locked down.

This is when you realize it is not your time to experience something as horrible as those 50 people have experience that day when a gun man held 50 people hostage.

You realize how lucky you are and God holds you back not going in a danger zone.
