Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

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.
