When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice. A family member chose sisig with garlic rice. Carmina enjoyed her meal with Mom Violy and particularly liked the  lumpiang hubad , though she kept wondering why it had no wrapper.

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.
