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...

Plastic Tale Straw String

My mom ask me to look for some plastic tale straw string that they use here in the grocery store when they place it inside a box to hold our merchandise that we have purchase. Sometimes other stores make it out of a handle a way for us to carry what we have brought from the store. We're not allowed to go out and there is no way for me to give the plastic tale straw string packing/wrapping for my mom to use for her gardening. I decided to look online to see where I can have it purchase for my mom. I was able to find  EZ Department Store  Online Shopping Shopee Philippines for PHP 35.00 ($0.70) for 15 meters. The store gave me two pieces to make it 15 meters right now my mom said her garden look like a Christmas tree all her plastic tale straw string is all different colors. My mom can redo it making it one color. Note: I am not selling or advertising plastic tale straw string for wrapping/packaging and EZ Department Store just a place to buy my mom's gardening needs.

S'mores Cookies

Imagine yourself in a camp fire roasting marshmallow on a wooden stick and on your other hand is a plate with Hershey chocolate bar to place your melted marshmallow on top by placing another chocolate on top what do you get a smores. Although we cannot do it now we can eat a version from S'mores Chips Ahoy version and dip it in a glass of milk the way we do it America. Everyone loves to dip their cookies in a glass of milk a way to be creative by soaking down after one bite is over and our milk. Of course you really don't need to eat it with milk we can also make it into an ice-cream sandwich by placing any flavor ice-cream in the middle having two cookies at both ends. The way you eat your S'mores Chips Ahoy is the what you feel your in the mood. For me I prefer eating it alone with some coffee or tea. To get your S'mores Chips Ahoy you can grab it at  Bellanosonlineshop  Online Shopping Shopee Philippines for PHP 270.00 ($5.40) not including shipping and handling. NOT...

Challenge Yourself in Google Maps

Challenge yourself to another direction is what I have been doing add new photos at Google Maps to keep myself busy. I've decided to share my photos from restaurants that I was able to take pictures during my visit.   You live at home and getting bored to keep yourself preoccupied you turn around to continue to be an eye opening to others to look, discover and share is what I love to do. Recently I have continue posting my photo there are a lot of people who have viewed it less than four days when I had contributed my photos. I've also had owners comment that they are temporary closed due to covid-19. I've had people ask questions about the restaurant if they are open due to covid-19. People who haven't eaten there but would like too after they have seen the photos you've posted. If I can help the restaurant earn an income from photos I've post it is a stepping stone to lead them an income. Carmina has pushed herself in helping others no for me to earn an income...
