Butterflied Pla Pla with Buto and Mustasa from Manam Comfort Filipino

  When you have family friends who have informed you that they will be visiting the Philippines.  The common is that they will inform you when they would be in town. Upon their arrival after having many activities they will inform you when they are free to see you. Carmina had message Tita Edita that we would like to treat them for lunch along with Mom Violy. Tita Edita had informed me that her son and husband Tito Rozel would also be coming. It wasn't a problem for us it would great to see them again. The day was approaching for our bonding moment. Tita Edita asked if we would like to have lunch or dinner. Mom Violy said lunch works better for her.  Tita Edita said sounds good lunch on October 4, 2024. Mom Violy saw a recent post of Edita saying they wanted to eat at Manam, but they were number 15 before they could be served. Mom Violy decided to make the lunch be at  Manam Comfort Filipino  inside Robinsons Magnolia. Mom Violy made sure she would arrive early to make the reservat

Are you PANIC MODE, MIDDLE MODE or DO NOT BELIEVE MODE for the COVID-19?

I feel we are experiencing the movie called, "Blast from the Past" where the parents decided to let their son grow up living in their sheltered away from the environment outside as they thought something bad was happening to them. Only difference we are not experiencing 30 years just for one month or for the time being. Imagine if you had stay 30 years in your own home and not able to go out how would any of us survive this way. There are people who are on PANIC MODE ,  MIDDLE MODE and DO NOT BELIEVE MODE . But whatever mode you are experience imagine the movie Blast from the Past as they stayed until their son was already grown up to be a man. My friend was telling me that they have been receiving calls from their other friends who don’t seem to think this COVID-19 is serious. I was telling my friend no matter if you explain to them it will not stick to their brain no matter how you explain the way they think it is different from you. Just like the ones w

Bali, Indonesia

I was supposed to travel to Bali, Indonesia since my mom saw pictures from her friends who had traveled there recently and she wanted to visit the place. We had inquired from our travel agent after our trip from Australia. The best time to visit Bali, Indonesia is the month of April to October. Bali, Indonesia is a tropical climate like the Philippines where the beaches are really known for and if you're into this time of atmosphere this place is for you. If, you're not into nature like waterfall and hiking this place is not for you. At first I was wondering why my mom wanted to visit this place because she is not into swimming at the beach, hiking or into walking hours in the nature with fresh air.  Places to see in Bali, Indonesia: Kintamani: Batik UC Silver Village Mt. & Lake Batur View Penglipuran Village  Tegenungan Waterfall Turtle Island Tour   WaterBlow Bali Collection Bedugul: Mengwi Royal Temple Lake Beratan Ulundanu Temple
