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.

I began searching online didn't quite see what they have mentioned to me. The following day Carmina typed data sim card and what popped out was " Gomo". Carmina clicked on it checking if it sounded the samethi...

One Week Later after Arrival

One week later after your arrival to the Philippines staying at a home that you feel uneasy. Even though your living with any family member each one of them have their own house rules. The life they live in particular once you touch or move something they feel you’ve enter inside their comfort zone. The family member starts to feel uneasy not telling you directly to your face but to make a story out of it to someone else yet at your presence your there to hear it. Carmina and Mom Violy have been traveling together since May 4, 2022. Spending quite a time together and sleeping in same bedroom just like anyone we want our own space. During our stay at my sister’s home while family members were out of town. Carmina had transferred to another bedroom across from Mom Violy. Two weeks later Carmina moved back to the same room where we didn’t clash or hit each other nerves because we had time to ourselves. Even if Carmina was driving Mom Violy to her doctor’s appointment her stories were repe...
