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 décor, 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...

When was a time in your life you felt everything was falling apart?

 


For the past few days I felt my world was falling and I didn’t know what to do or how I would feel when my world was falling apart it wasn’t serious to other people but to me it felt a big impact something I had worked so hard for and didn’t want it to end or to feel I had quit on something I just begun to be recognized for what effort I did to establish my blog.

My domain need a renewal and my credit card is already expired and since we are experiencing pandemic I need to find away how I can pay it on time before it had really expired. Due my credit card was coming from another country I had to find out if a new card was sent to my home town.

Every day I couldn’t sleep and the more I worked to do more researched I came to a dead end something I had to see if my personal blog really mean anything to me or how would I cope if it we’re no longer in my hands.

Or I thought what if I had applied to a new web host and a domain but then again I would need to start from the beginning which means I am far away from where I’ve already started.

I kept myself away from telling anyone because I knew no one could help me because everything was link under my name and no one is held responsible only me alone.

I don’t usually keep things to myself I seem a different person isolated to my own world something my friends never knew who I was the first time in my life I didn’t need to explain what I was going through even if I wasn’t in the mood to talk or ask for help from someone.

Even though I felt my world falling apart I kept everything to myself and did so many researches to see what other possibilities I can come up with in order to find out how I can renew my domain name.

I had to think hard if I wanted to continue having a blog and if what I was doing was something I can handle not having a part of my life. Or was I really earning enough money from it and the effort and time I had put myself into my personal blog worth it.

I realized in every situation not in a relationship you can feel broken apart something you had for almost a year yet when your world is ending you tend to try to solve no feeling you are a failure but to find other options to make it all work out.

Finally, after days of stressed and not eating property something came up and I was able to solve something on my own.
