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...
Do you ever have family and friends telling you need a life?
What does it mean to someone when someone tells you have no
life when you are home and going through a lockdown?
Does it mean you need to go out?
Does it mean find something else than being on social media
or playing too many video games?
I had started playing a game Candy Crush that started year 2012 it is the only game I play and I find
it challenging for me to reach each level as I keep reaching a higher score and
during that time my sister asked me to play the game so I can send her lives.
We use to compete with each other and see who would be first
to reach the next level. Everyone goes through a pattern when someone loses or wins
in a game and they can no longer reach to the level you are on.
My sister than told me I need to get a life and stop playing
Candy Crush because I had already beat her score but I kept playing the game until now.
Just recently my friend was messaging me asking me how I was
doing just to keep in touch once in awhile when they are online. My friend also
told me I need to get a life because they feel I am online in my social media
but how cannot you not be less active if your blog is linked onto it and of
course you need to check it regularly. It didn’t make any sense to me.
Yesterday I did try staying off in my social media for the
day to see how it was and I was able to get a lot of things done but it is what
I normally do when I am on social media. I call my life multitasking and be
able to do so many things at the same time.
My other friend just told me Carmina you need to start and
travel to explore. You wonder how you can even do that when you live in the
Philippines and it is not allowed too.
Some people don’t seem to connect to you when they live in another country where they are allowed to travel too places close by their area.

I keep telling my friends try living in my shoes see if you
can handle not going out for four months and see if you can handle it see what
you would do if you’re in my position you may be doing the same thing I am
doing.
