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...
I wanted a break from everyone you hear often in the news
and when you’re tuned out from the news there is always a talk in your home.
There are so many commotion in your home as the people in
your home is going on too much stress in adjusting themselves to stay distance
from each other.
You have phone calls coming on and off the only way to do are
be calm as there are people going in and out of your home with having a lot of
employees.
You find out you need to limit how many people entering the
house and some have to stay scattered in other places while we are living in a
place where we call quarantine from the outside and in your own home.
People who have expose from the outside end up having a cold
symptoms and all you can do is take care of them in that process wearing a mask
so you don’t catch what they have and make sure it is not what you think it is.
When I see my friends who live far away and they post they
are outside with no one around you begin to envy them because where you live
you feel you are in jail when you have someone roaming the house doing patrol
and there is an cctv in your home.
The only thing you don’t have is handcuffs and you have
unlimited internet is the best thing compared to real jail time.
The only thing you can do is think what else you can do in
your home while you’re not allowed to exit your home.
You feel special when you have close friends checking up on
you when something bad is happening in this world we live in.
It is a great feeling when you have close friends thinking
to see how you are doing as they email, text messages and calling you up from
being away from them.
At the point we live on being stranded where we are we try
other ways to communicate with each other every day to see if they are still
alive and ticking in their own different environment.
It is cool to hear from them as you can hear their voices or
read their email from the way they express themselves.
It is a good feeling you get when you hear from your close
friends that has been concern how you are doing.
