Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Friendships Begins to Change


As we are staying home we come across friends who you haven’t chat or communicated for a long time and when they start chatting with you they come across giving you not your name but a name they are suppose to give their boyfriend/girlfriend or spouse not really meant for a friend.

I have come across this recently and I have seen people get really lonely when they stay home and they are bored to death but they have spouses in their home but when you come across a friend calling you baby. I start to question them who are you referring to baby you know for sure that is not your name.

As I am talking to my friends I will stop them question them hey I am not your baby and I don’t like being called a baby in the first place. I have a name and I’d rather stick to it.

Sometimes you need to put a stop on your friendship it might lead to something else that you don’t see yourself in that direction.

I’ve notice these past weeks how my friends are reacting how they start to cling to you and wait when you are online.

Sometimes you have friends who act like they are your father or mother asking you why you are still online when in your time you should be sleeping. I know my friends care for me but when you stay home for a month and a half there is really nothing to do but find other things to do in your home there really is no curfew what time you need to sleep.

Sometimes you have friends who tell you did you eat already but I don’t need to be reminded I eat when I feel like it and when you wake up late your meals doesn’t come to you when you’re hungry. I have come to the point I miss my breakfast and lunch go directly to dinner. 

Now I can understand when my friends tell me they only eat one meal a day. Those people who eat one meal a day are on a diet.

To me I am not on a diet it is that I have lost appetite in my meals because I don’t have a cook in the house and now I have been dreaming of my cook being at home due I miss home cooked meals not bought from the outside.
