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...

Little Urban Farmer



Recently I made a purchase for my mom to buy a mango tree to plant in her terrace. My mom asked me to purchase a gardening pot, soil and gardening set last week it had all arrived. What my mom didn't know the mango tree will not fit inside the gardening pot. My mom was thinking of placing her mango tree inside a plastic bucket where we normally store water inside. 

My mom wanted me to come over her home to drill some holes for the water to come out. My mom was thinking hard how it would be possible for her mango tree fit inside something too small not having enough space for the roots to grow out in the future.

My mom didn't want a ceramic garden pot she felt it would be too heavy for her to carry.

My mom was excited the measurement was not accurate.

I had to think what to do when no garden pot was able for the size of the mango tree. I had searched in Shopee and Lazada Online Shopping.

Somehow someone lead me to the direction to look at Facebook Marketplace where I had type out garden pot large size. I had scrolled until I sent a screenshot to my mom to see what I had discovered made her decide which ones she felt was the right size.


I had message the seller who was selling the Round Pots - Round Planters to check if the items we're still available for three pieces of size Deep 16 x Height 13. The seller had replied back and informed me it was available. 

I asked how I can pay for the items.


Method of Payment:
  1. BPI
  2. Unionbank
  3. Gcash
  4. COD 
Delivery Same Day Courier:
  1. Lalamove
  2. Grab
  3. Mr. Speedy
Note:

You will be obligated to pay for the delivery same day courier by your own expense and tip to the rider who has delivered to your location.

The seller had asked for my complete address and contact number. The seller had informed me if it was alright to have it delivered tomorrow night. I said it was fine and the delivery was free of charge since they had a delivery around my area.

I was just lucky by fate that someone lead me to purchase from Little Urban Farmer.

Sometimes out of the moment someone was able to lead me to a person who was selling the right product.

The seller had shared their link of Little Urban Farmer and I was able to check what else my mom needed. I had called up my mom to inform her that they are selling the same loam soil she is using. My mom said to purchase three bags.

I was very excited that I was able to solve my mom's problem with the same day.

I didn't realize how late it was when I had finalize my purchase and the seller was kind enough not to complain.

For those who need supplies for their gardening needs I highly recommend Little Urban Farmer who can answer all your questions.

Note:

I am not selling or advertising for Little Urban Farmer although I had asked permission from them to inform where I had made my purchase.
