Laughter with Mom Violy, Carmina, Ruel, Neria and Marissa

Mom Violy wanted to get a haircut from Ruel from Hairliners Salon in Ali Mall. She was saying if they are not too busy wanted to get a pedicure.  Ruel had introduce Marissa to Mom Violy who can do her pedicure. Neria had approached me saying she has no client. I was able to get my facial done while Mom Violy was busy having her beauty treatments. Mom Violy had introduced me to Marissa saying they wanted to add each other in Facebook. They had no clue how to do it. Both Mom Violy and Marissa handed their phone to me.  Ruel had informed Marissa that I am doing Poppo Live.  Marissa asked for some pointers how to use the Poppo Live application on her phone. I taught her the basics found out she is in an agency.  I don't understand why her agency is not giving her tips how to use Poppo Live.  Ruel had informed me he would also like to join Poppo Live just been so busy from his work. I told everyone to gather and take pictures together since we've haven't seen each other for a lo

Carmina's Observation Based on Experience


Carmina’s observation from able to travel and stay in the United States for two months.

There are people who don’t wear a face mask when there are a lot of people in their homes.

Not like living in the Philippines we wear a face mask going downstairs.

We have families coming over from different homes we are all required to wear a face mask.

Families from the outside don’t eat at our homes they prefer to have it take out cooked by Manang V.

Shopping:

Carmina notice even if there are sign on the doors no face mask no entry. I sometimes see people shop with no face mask they may have it inside their pocket and only wear it upon entering the store.

Sometimes it is not only customers fault I’ve seen employees who are also not wearing one when it is required in some area.

Not like in the Philippines we are required to wear one at all times and stores check our temperature through our palm of the hands or forehead.

Restaurant:

Customers prefer outdoor dining or restaurants that has doors wide open to dine inside the United States.

In the Philippines they also cater people who want to dine outside or inside but our doors are not fully open more closed with air conditioner on.

Driving/riding:

When Carmina is riding with her friend’s car we always have the windows wide open the air is circulation and having our face mask on. 

Yes, sometimes we remove it knowing we both have been vaccinated.

Carmina has friends of Mom Violy riding with us the windows are slightly open and have air conditioner on. Carmina has a hard time driving with a face mask but her passenger have their face mask on.

How we live based on how we’re trained in the Philippines adapts us by bringing it along when we do travel.

What I notice the rubbing alcohol in the States is too strong and prefer the brands we use in the Philippines.

Most people carry the gel type or wipes for their hands in the United States.

Outdoor Parks:

After seeing all areas in my vacation some wear face mask outdoors or don’t wear one when not many people are surrounded with them.

They put their face mask on when too many people are surrounded.

Carmina can now understand when she see people exercising it is really difficult to wear a face mask hiking up a hill or just walking outside.

I’ve tried and experience it when I was with Joanie doing our hiking. I had a hard time breathing and catching my air.

I had to remove it and wear it when I see strangers coming by.

We need to experience it before we talk about it when you’re there. I was also the type of person who questioned Mary Ann while she was in Germany why she had no face mask.

Based on my own experience I can now relate to all my friends who have post in their social media.

Carmina no longer question her friends allow them to do it on their own.

We need to experience it before we begin to question what others are doing to understand the situation.
