Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...

Do you remember your first driver's license?




Carmina was looking at her old driver's license that she had in the past. You get to look back the years and recall every moment when you first drove.

Carmina started driving when she was in senior year in California where she grew up. I can remember it was required in high school to get a driving permit.

My first car was a hand me down from my Uncle who was Mom Violy's sibling that loan us a car to use.

No one wants their children to start driving a brand new car.

During that time the steering wheel was hard to move around being stiff although it didn't stop Carmina not to learn how to drive.

Carmina was eighteen years old when she started driving.

Having a driver's license in senior year is a time you have a chance being independent. Considering your parents always being strict with you yet you had to obey the ground rules were going out after school activities in high school was still not allowed.

Carmina's parents asked her to drive to their errands by shopping at the grocery store.

After graduating from high school Carmina father gave her a second hand car to drive and make it consider her own car not to share with her younger sister.

Carmina cannot wait to drive again in California where she will be getting her new California license that was renewed online when it was expired one year ago.

The great part even if you live in the Philippines your residence is still in the United States. You can still keep your first license and no need to keep taking a driver's classes being a good driver without any driving violations.

In the Philippines getting a driver's license is a different story where who knows Carmina will have a story for you to read in the future.
