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...

Skimming the Post


As the month of May is approaching people keep thinking I will be traveling again to California to be with my family and friends where I get to really explore.

A funny thing happen to me last night someone asked me are you pushing through your trip next month and are you sure about it. Than the same person said, I’ve made a list of stuff to buy me when you reach there. I was thinking in my mind who told you I was traveling this year. So, I told the person I am not crazy to fly and get covid -19 on the plane. I never told you I am flying this year. I said, year 2021.

This is what I realized people only pay attention to certain details since month of May is approaching people assume it is next month when they hear May.

I have notice this too when I am posting picture and videos that have already been dated when taken people don’t read it as well.

I had one relative asked, me I saw your video with Ruth’s voices with Manang Ofel in the background and Rutheyn’s in the video. Did Ruth return work there? This is strange the video was taken year 2017 and Manang Ofel passed away last year 2019 so the person who called, me up wasn’t paying any attention to the video because there is no way a dead person can live again right now 2020.

Rutheyln who is in the video moved to her family year 2018 and the person knew that already.
I realized no matter if you label anything in your post no one pays attention to reading so you realize what people do skim and just look at the picture or click the video without reading the fine print on top.

This is not the only thing people start telling me enjoy have a good vacation or how can you travel if we have lockdown.

I realize there are so many people who miss important details as they are reading something they really don't pay any attention what you have written on the headline as what I have realize people just skim your post not reading the entire details.

Once you do that you miss the whole point of the story and end up contacting the person who has post it.
