Dive into a seafood spectacle — see the lobster up close and celebrate James & Carmina’s birthdays at Fresh International, Solaire Resort.

While traveling around the world, the family visited the Philippines and decided to combine a double birthday dinner with James. In our chat group, we discussed which restaurants we’d like to dine at, and Mom Violy has been eager to try the all-you-can-eat lobster her best friend recommended at Solaire. Carmina took charge of making the reservation through Solaire's Resort  website and asked the family which seating time they preferred, choosing between two options with different time frames. Carmina registered it under Mom Violy's name and phone number. She received an email for our confirmation, and a week beforehand, a reminder was sent to Mom Violy's mobile to confirm if we were going ahead or not. Carmina replied to the SMS since Mom Violy wasn’t sure how to do it. We were told to arrive fifteen minutes before our scheduled entry time, which was 5:30 p.m. on February 12, 2026. When we arrived, we were informed we couldn’t enter the dining area until exactly 5:30 p.m...

US Variety Muffin

Carmina was able to purchase US variety muffin in S&R which is like a Costco in the United States that sells products that are imported in other countries in wholesale price. Carmina's mom is missing baked goods from California her daughter is still able to find it and purchase it for her having a US variety muffin that is in one plastic container. Carmina's mom favorite is always the chocolate ones and blueberry muffin. This time around Carmina gets to keep the ones her mom doesn't want to eat from the US variety muffin container.

Carmina and her mom is not big eater our US variety muffin will last quite a long time before it will expire on May 2, 2021.  Or what Carmina...

New Hostess Twinkies, Ding Dong and Honey Bun Iced Latte

Carmina had discovered Hostess Twinkies, Ding Dong and Honey Bun Iced Latte version when she was placing her order through Metro Mart application in S&R Philippines. After checking what were the new items that became available in S&R I was thinking is there really such a drink and I couldn't stop putting my eye on them. Carmina grew up eating Hostess Twinkies, Ding Dong and Honey Bun when she was young living in California. There use to be a branch in the Bay Area where there was a discounted store near our dentist use to be when she was in high school. My mom would bring my sister and I there to buy our bread and baked goods for our breakfast and snacks to bring to school. Too bad the baked goods are too expensive to purchase in the Philippines sold elsewhere although the cool part I can drink the latte version. Carmina was telling her friends in California if they ever heard of Hostess Twinkies, Ding Dong and Honey Bun the Iced Latte. Her friends in California had no clue...
