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. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the dĂ©cor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Have you ever experience being an alien from another country you’ve traveled?

Being an alien where ever you travel the reason I say this when you travel and you look different from someone else from the way you look, talk and dress people identify as you being different from them.

No matter if you don't mean well to attract people from both gender it just happens because to you look different from them no matter what nationality they may be who lives in that country to them you are a new face a person that make you who you are from being different to them.

No matter if you don't try these people become magnets from you from the appearance that they don't see normally becomes new to you what happens when you are in a public area and whomever you have a relationship develops insecurities from people checking out your friends or partner.

Other people get affected by their relationship strangers who you don't know sorry I don't mean it being so different from you and they way I look you cannot not compare ourselves because everyone has their own beauty and if you admire me that is good but no need to get jealous because whomever you are in a relationship they are happy who you are it is just the glare and stare is normal seeing someone who looks not ordinary in what they are use too seeing.

But when it comes down touching and asking your phone number that is a different story than there is something to complain, question and to act jealous to you it is normal reaction to feel you will be replaced by someone other than yourself.

Everyone has a reason to look at an alien who has showed up in front of their face and whatever the situation you have no right to feel like you need to beat the guts out of a person.
