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...

Carmina's Evaluation Bob Cut Hair vs. Long Hair

 


Carmina's comparison based from having a bob hair cut and long hair is something I realize on my own.


Bob Hairstyle Comparison:

Having bob hairstyle half of your life you we’re so use to just keeping the same type of cut every time you have decided to have a trim.

I would have my neck shaved every time I had a haircut. I was told my hairline is long on my neck.

After taking a shower I would put argan oil before blow dries it after 15 minutes.

The only difference the curls on the ends would stick out if I didn't blow dry right away.

I would need to use a blow dryer and hair strengthener iron to maintain my hair.

I would wear a barrette on my hair in order my hair not going to my face when I would eat my meals.

Or I would put cream gel on my hair just to keep my hair off my face.

Long Hair Comparison:



There we’re times of my life I wanted to grow out my hair for a peak moment when I wanted to change my hairstyle but always return back into the same bob cut over and over again.

To have a long hair the disadvantages when living in a tropical climate it is too hot on your head and neck when you leave it without any hair accessories.

Having to wear hair accessories for example when I wear a head band it is alright for a short moment later I feel my head and ears are in pain. I am not sure if it is the same feeling for other people who have experience wearing a headband.

I have tried wearing a ponytail tie when I exercise and plan to eat a meal. I notice when I eat something my hair is also eating as well. It is a hassle having long hair or maybe I am just adjusting myself to learn more about how to work around while I am eating.

I found it easier for me to tie my hair in a ponytail while I am eating a meal at least I can enjoy what I am eating than worry about washing the ends of my hair afterwards.

I have no problem wearing a hair clip which I feel comfortable wearing no pain feeling on my head since I have been wearing that since I was a kid while having a bob hairstyle.

Having long hair it takes longer to blow dry after taking a shower my hair is damp gets my shirt wet in the back even if I would damp dry it not sure if it is because my hair is thick and one length.

Long hair I have no more problems with curls by the end therefore my hair has stay straight not like my other friends they need to get a Brazilian hair straighter to take out their curls.

For me this is my advantage I just use argan oil on my hair to maintain its texture after I take a shower.

This is my treatment for my hair daily.

I guess you can say I can stick to my long hair and see how it works so far everyone say I look better for a new image on myself for some reason I look like a lady.
