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.

What do you do when your hair grows and you want to get a haircut?

The new norm is to do your own haircut in your own home due to the virus that has affected all around the world and when you are use too getting a haircut as your daily routine. When that routine gets broken and you need to find something to solve the irritation feeling on your head wanting to get a haircut there is no way to go to your favorite barber shop or beauty salon.

You end up ordering your own set of professional electric razor, trimmer and grooming kit to do it at your own convince of your home.

The problem occurs when you are afraid to cut your own hair and you ask someone to do it for you who live with you.

Next as other family members see you have a new haircut they want to follow that same trend to borrow your grooming kit.

For the people who color their hair this is a new trend is either grow out your gray hair or you learn to color your own hair because there is no way someone can do it outside not unless you make an appointment and wear a mask during the process.

Everything is changing around us and it won't be the same we are use too and we need to adapt ourselves the new way it may be hard to cope with the new changes but we cannot do anything but accept the new changes in our surroundings.

There will be a lot of changes especially those who are into doing manicure and pedicure as well going to their dermatologist so many places are being affected in the business in the whole world and what happens to those who are not use to doing it on their own.

You will notice there are so many video and articles you have already seen in the social media how to do it on your own at your home.

For now we don't know how long it will last to be this way if it is only temporary or permanent in our lives ahead of us.
