When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

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...

Chapter 11: Returning Back to Your Ex-Boyfriend Jack

Jack had called, up Michelle telling her he wanted them to go back with him and he already broken up with his ex-girlfriend.

Michelle had this image in her head that she wanted to play revenge on Jack to pretend to go back with him because in her mind she wanted Jack to feel the kind of medicine he did to her and in order her to do that was to go back with him and give her another invitation to return back to his country.

Michelle felt she had something to prove to herself and she wanted to keep that promise she made to Jack's family that she will come back no matter what it takes.

Jack's mom had called, up Michelle telling her how she had missed her and even if she wasn't in a relationship with her son she still wanted her as a daughter.

Jack's mom made some promise that she would have a job for her and her status would change once the company has seen her job performances and signed a contract with one another.

Michelle kept away her plans from me she only told her son David and her best friend Nancy who both approved her plans.

Michelle knew I wouldn't approve her plans because I was already against their relationship. I was praying that the invitation Jack had sent to her won't get approved.

Michelle than flew back to Europe without informing me I only found out when she had post in her social media she was in Europe on Valentine's Day.

I was so mad at Michelle and felt she was going out of control and decided to drift away from her and felt she was already old enough to decide on her own.

Michelle had arrived the next day Jack had a surprised for her.
