Uncle Ando has informed her sister that he would like to try dining at Dampa which he has heard from people. Uncle Ando has a bucket list of places to see before returning back home. Mom Violy was thinking of just bringing Uncle Ando to the places she is familiar where she has eaten before with her family and friends visiting the Philippines. Uncle Ando spoke to his relatives he hasn't seen for a long time. The relatives asked what he would like to eat so they can meet and have a meal together. The relative said we'll meet at Dampa sa Libis on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 12 noon. Mom Violy had scheduled a driver and informed Carmina about it. Upon entering to Dampa sa Libis was a big parking lot when entering in the driveway walking outside you will see some fresh seafood and fruits. The entrance is on the righthand side where you will see dining those who would like to eat outside with a cover and electric fan. Dampa sa Libis also provide airconditioned rooms to those...
Carmina was able to interview Mom
Violy how it is like living alone during our pandemic.
Mom Violy said it is lonely
living alone and not able to go out because of the age.
Mom Violy claims when you hear
most of your closest friends went toward dying due to health reasons not
because of corona virus. You begin to go toward depression thinking all your
friends have left you behind. You're the only one still living sometimes you
think about death even if you don't want too.
Mom Violy doesn't want to have
Carmina live with her. She prefers to have her own privacy and not use too
having someone at her side.
Mom Violy is independent, but
when she needs help she has people around her for example Sonny who drove us to
our adventure is actually a security guard that works at the condominium of
where Mom Violy lives.
Sonny works for the senior
citizen part time to essential things needed from residents who live there by
doing their errands or drive them around.
If Carmina is not able to
purchase all her stuff online Sonny does it for her.
Mom Violy has contact with
residences in the same area who sells fruits, bread and other food to call them
when she wants to replenish her goods.
Night time comes when
loneliness comes what drives someone is to watch movies and their partner in
crime becomes food.
Mom Violy claimed she use to
eat only three times a day when there was no pandemic. The problem when you end
up staying home for a long period of time you end up eating five meals in a
day.
Carmina was surprised and hey
that is too much.
Carmina had no clue how much
food her mom was consuming in a day basis. Every time Mom Violy had requested
for sweets. Carmina kept telling her she might become diabetic. Mom Violy was
in denial saying I only eat one Popsicle in one day.
Remember that Ube pinipig ice
cream Mom Violy asked her daughter to look for her. Mom Violy told Carmina she
only eat once a day, but found out two months later she eats it twice a day.
Mom Violy also ask Carmina to
purchased baked goods from S& R the double chocolate muffin, sliced cakes
from Red Ribbon or Goldilocks.
Even though Carmina was telling
Mom Violy to control what she eats yet she wasn't accepting it she was doing
something wrong.
Carmina realized that Mom Violy
is not the only one stress eating. Carmina was able to talk to her other
friends who are doing the same because they too live alone.
Food seems to comfort the
people who live alone who are going through depression and being lonely.
They won't admit they are
lonely not until they need help to pull them toward going on a diet.
Mom Violy only woke up and
realize she was doing something wrong when recently she decided to have a blood
test to see what medical changes has occurred.
Mom Violy found out she needed
to go on a diet and she has gained weight by trying on her clothing at home.
Pattern of our life we realize
a wakeup call this is not me before and I don't want to die. I want to live
longer to appreciate the things I want out of my life.
Mom Violy is going back to her
regular schedule by eating three times a day and to exercise rather than
comfort her in food.
