Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Giving Out Suggestions to New Sellers

You come across new sellers selling in Shopee an online shopping application used on your phone or online store to purchase items to be delivered to your home. I've come across from new sellers who are new in selling items online and having it shipped out. There is one coincidence the item has leaked out and the can has a bump on the end from the being handle during the delivery. I suggested to the seller to place a card board border in between the can it will not hit each other when it gets delivered to her other customers this way the seller will not receive bad comments and will not lose any cost in her items they are selling. New sellers are new at their business I don't mind suggesting what can be done to improve what they ship out and the best part in saying what need to be changed they take it out by offering a new freebie in your next purchase in the future. I have received an item that was spoiled and it is not yet expired no matter what you to inform the seller in ord...

Food Calling

Can food really call you up to tell you to eat them? Can you control yourself when you see food in front of you? Can you resist yourself and limit how much portion you can eat once you do eat what food is calling you? Food you see and you feel they are calling you it is psychological in your brain thinking the food is calling you it is when you cannot control yourself in eating the food you see in front of you. Food calling is a disorder when you feel you want to eat more than what you're suppose to consume. I have never thought food can call you up I know you can look at food but to me I can control myself from eating something that is front of myself. Each person can control themselves when food is in front of them but there are people who cannot they feel they need to go over board until they eat too much and their stomach is about to explode. Everyone learn based on their own experience either they learn not to do it again or they repeat do it as a bad habit.
