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.

Did you know you can get a baked pizza from a bakery shape of a personal size pizza?

We normally get our pizza from a restaurant that serves Italian food.  Did you know you can get a baked pizza from a bakery shape of a personal size pizza? I've seen other bakery make pizza but not shape of a personal pizza with all ingredients what you see in any pizza restaurant. Carmina was happy to try a personal size pizza from The Baikery in the Philippines for PHP 48.00 ($0.96). It has all the ingredients from bell pepper, olives, onion, tomato sauce and black pepper. It is kind of spicy yet mild maybe with some hot sauce. Carmina's guess it might be bacon or ham of some sort of meat. Sorry cannot tell so tiny yet the pizza is delicious. You just need to try it for yourself make sure you purchase more than one pizza. 😋 Carmina had placed her order through Lazada website and came to second round from  The Baikery  note there is a delivery fee when you place your order.
