Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

XOXO

There are so many topics to write about that I had encountered yesterday with my mom as we’re talking in the car when we’re heading to our destination. The topic in the car was my mom was telling me she has a best friend who had post XOXO BFF Forever. My mom was asking me can someone as best friend can only be friends in that kind of way or do these people have some kind of chemistry that they become more than just friends. Sometimes you question what people post and write down in the media as they post pictures of their best friends regardless they have a commitment relationship that is not open to the public or they are just mainly best friends who just express their feelings to wildly online just for people to be curious what kind of relationship they have for each other. What happen when your best friend post pictures to female to female what do they become? Do you even ask your friend about it or do you mind your own business and not bother to question what they post...

Salad Stop!

I have been eating salad and I wish they had a Sweet Tomato Branch like in California where you can eat a salad, but have other main dish meals along with your food. There is no place like here in the Philippines that are so healthy like back home. The most places you will find in the Philippines are buffet restaurant from the healthy and unhealthy or salad places that just serve just a salad bar. Nothing compares to what you have in California just base on where you now live. I have found a place called, Salad stop is a place you can create your own salad and decide what you want to put on your own meal the healthy way. You can choose either a salad bowl or on a tortilla of your choice. Anything is possible in salad stop. Or you can choose from their menu suggested salad if you don't feel like creating your own salad. https://www.saladstop.ph/en/menu/ You can choose to visit their branch or have it delivered at your home by using Grab Food Exp...

Being Grateful

Just over the weekend my mom wanted to go shopping at Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan to get her pedicure. I was telling my mom lets do it on March 11 when I will be renewing another cell phone contract from my Globe account. Good thing my mom said, she wanted to shop somewhere else and she gave me list of days to pick out for this week. I told my mom let me check the schedule of my boys so I can figure out how I can squeeze myself in their schedule. I decided to go on Monday, March 2 with my mom. When I came home that day I had heard in the news there was a locked down in Greenhills Shopping Mall in San Juan. You realize to this point if I didn't choose a date to shop with my mom somewhere else we would be involve in that locked down. This is when you realize it is not your time to experience something as horrible as those 50 people have experience that day when a gun man held 50 people hostage. You realize how lucky you are and God holds you back no...

Finding Trustful Sellers in the Philippines

The best part when you visit your seller who you usually shop from at 168 Shopping Mall, 999 Shopping Mall and Tutuban Shopping Mall. They end up missing you when you haven’t seen them for a very long time. They start asking why you haven’t come by their store for awhile. You tell them you don’t go out shopping due to the coronavirus they had informed me that is not the in thing here because they don’t feel you can get it. As you are walking around with a disposable mask some people are wearing a mask just like you, there are others don’t have any mask on. The ones who are coughing don’t have a mask and you feel safe because you have one on. You also notice there are a lot of people wearing their disposable mask on the wrong way as the wire are on the area of their chin when the right way the wire is suppose to be in your nose area where you can pinch it to the size of your nose. I have seen people look at us as we pass by them, but they also have a mask on. Not ...
