Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Inspired to Make New Changes


There will be a time in our life when we need to make new changes in the way we live because what we are going through around the world is sacrificing things we want to do if we could.

Sometimes those changes will become an advantage and disadvantage to us because we are not use to those new changes in our life.

I’ve realize during my sheltered in place people go through different moods when we are in our homes feeling unsure of ourselves.

For the past months I have been inspired to keep adding more video because I realize this is what everyone has more things to do we come home to our homes from work and we are tired. We have no time to watch a long movie but we have time to watch a short video that has laughter and put our smile back on our faces.

You can find the videos in Carmina Lifestyle Facebook Page. Kindly add me as one of your followers or Liked the Page.

Sometimes we need to be inspired to gives us hope that when the time comes we can do what we love to do.

But being in our homes for a long time we come to a point we cannot sleep and our routine begins to change as well our mood changes by the way we react to other people whom we talk too because we are not connected to each other.

We become more distracted and only seem to care for our own well being.

I have tried many things to get back to my feet but for some reason my sleeping pattern keep changes. It is the feeling when you have traveled somewhere with sleepless nights. There is no way I am jetlag because all I have been is only staying at my home.

My friends keep telling me I need sun and to be active but when you are restricted to do those things in you’re mind you feeling envious of your friends when they are outside in another country other than the Philippines.

You start to dwell and look only at pictures that they share with you as they keep posting and you make comments they laugh at you because you have so many dramas in your life and they don’t know how it feels in your life compared to theirs.

It is kind of hard to explain to someone who has no clue in what position you are at because where they live they are free to risk themselves to go out to ride their bikes.
