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. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Helping seniors without Your Reach


Helping seniors without Your Reach

The reason why I say helping seniors without your reach when you hear from your mom her best friend had an accident in her home. There is no one living with her and you worry for her the person who considers you just like a daughter she doesn't have.

Remember I've mentioned to you I have mothers who are not blood related and feel I am like their adopted daughter.

I am honor for that and reason why I worry for them being far from me to help them.

I have close friends who are like my family we are not blood related. We've come far to be a family since we've known each other since my college years.

My friend lives in the same area of my Aunt who needs assistance. The best part they met each other they are not completely strangers.

My friend had offered on her day off to help to run errands and accompany to her doctor's appointment.

I mentioned it to my Aunt and she was grateful for our suggestion I gave her a phone number to contact my friend.

The best part we reach out to people we don't live in the same country making sure they are safe.

Too bad I am not there to drive her around to take care of her.

Although I can ask my friends to do it for me that is what you call reaching out to people who are out of your reach but find a solution for everything.

My friend and I are blessed to help people who are around us for a simple gesture is what makes us happy.
