Just when you're on your last day spending with your family there is an invite to have dinner. My family wanted us to have a meal at an American restaurant. It was my first time to dine and have a meal at Lazy Dog Restaurant in Concord, California. My brother in-law had made a reservation at six o'clock party of seven. We had received complimentary barbeque chips and a dip while waiting for the remaining family to arrive. For our appetizer was the Bacon Candy. Reading the menu to decided what to order came across $15.00 Fireside Favorites that includes with a main course meal and dessert from smores brownie or banana pudding. Fettuccine Alfredo Blackened Shrimp Tacos Dessert Family members just ordered what they wanted with the Campfire Pot Roast, Chicken Lettuce Wrap and Fish. Everyone had enjoyed their meals and shared with each other. I am grateful my family gave us the opportunity to try new restaurants. NOT SPONSORED. Check out my channel @ Carmina Lif...
In our life we come across items we need to learn to let go or else we fill up our home with too many clutter and soon it will overlap to take over a mess to uncover in the years to come.
Ever since I began living in the Philippines and living with so many people who work for us you learn the value of items you have in your home what items they don't have because one thing they would prefer to supplement their family first before buying unnecessary items.
Every year I would clean out my clutter and decide what I no longer need or items I can let go to give to those who can use it for a better use.
Sometimes we hold on our belongings with sentimental value what happens if you're no longer with that certain person or items your parents gave you when you're young.
Learn to let go on items you no longer need seat down and list all your items down check your list and how many items you can give away or sell to someone who can use it more than you.
You will realize later how much clutter you have accumulated through the years of shopping or gifts given to you that you never even bother to use.
Every year when I have the chance to visit California my family and friends will always set aside items I can shipped out to the Philippines from any hand me downs to brand new items is what I get from them free instead of giving to someone else when my families and friends found what I do with the items by giving not only one employee for us. I am also giving each family member of the employee for example if the husband is our employer he is married and has five children.
To me I believe Christmas only comes once a year and to each person deserve a gift from me no matter how old you are you will receive a gift coming from Carmina.
The first Christmas party I had attended in the Philippines I felt bad for the families that attended a Christmas Party for their parents who was working.
Seeing other people not able to open gifts and seeing someone else receiving a gift to me I felt sad for them or the feeling being out of place.
I began to change the tradition I started giving everyone a Christmas gifts and what do I get from them the thought you know you have done a good deed the advantages is that when you ask a favor they will do it by driving you around or to do errands for you.
In return when they are on vacation leave they give me a token from their province within the Philippines.
No matter what money has no value when you don't share it with other people
who cannot afford items you have or cannot eat what you can afford?
I believe I am who I am and someone who is different from everyone else.
