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...

Fresh Sweet Corn from SnG Mart Ph


Years ago Mom Violy and Carmina would go to the public market to purchase their vegetables. Due to our condition being stranded in our own homes Mom Violy was craving for sweet white corn to make some corn soup out from it.

Mom Violy asked her daughter if she can look online and have fresh vegetables shipped to her home.

Carmina was able to find the white corn from SnG Mart Ph Online Lazada Philippines for PHP 116.00 ($2.42) per kilo.


Carmina prefer yellow corn. She went ahead and placed an order for one kilo yellow corn for PHP 90.00 ($1.88).


There is no COD (cash on delivery) you will be paying another way to purchase online. I prefer paying through Gcash paying wireless is the easy access.

There will be a shipping and handling fee being delivered to your location.

Living in separate home Mom Violy had requested it to be delivered to her home although it had arrived earlier than expected.

Carmina decided to share it to the household where she is living at for our merienda in our home.

Carmina asked Manang V to cook the corn on the stove having to remove the husk and cutting in the middle before having it boiled.

I find it easier to cut in the middle too hot to do it after it has already been cooked.

We have family member who prefer the white corn being whole.
