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.

Write Them Off


The friends you have that are in your friend zone does something against you or gives you stress some people write them off from their list of friendship when they feel they are giving you too much stress and don't need to add stress into their life.

We come across from different terms people use when they want to disconnect themselves from our friend's list some use write them off, unfriend, banned and block them from your life for good.

Did you ever look how many friends you have in your contact list on your social media account? Do you communicate with your entire friend's that is on your list?

Do they follow you or like whatever you post on your social media?

Are they even active?

Do you ever check your list of friends and later friend out they have deactivated their account no longer have a face in their profile picture?

Today, I went to look at my contact list that was in my social media I came across a lot of family and friends I no longer have connections from and you wonder why they are still in your list of friends. 

Sometimes you come across not realizing the account you made years ago the remaining friends are no longer active in their account. 

You can also come across from your list of friends they have already passed away years ago.

I've also notice some of my friend's not only have one account but have so many that is under your list of friends.

I removed the ones that was no longer active and kept the same person who had duplicated accounts just annoying to have so many accounts in one person.

Do you really need to have all accounts in your social media?

You get older reaching a senior you tend to write people off when you feel in real person they are the person who does things against you. You come a point in your life you no longer feel you need to connect yourself with them even if your children complain why you need to act that way toward your friends.

In life we get old and we have friends we feel we want to write them off when you feel they get into your nerves.

To be happy is to have a stress free life.
