Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff.

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.
