Carmina's Review on Second Branch of Sundays Cafe and Restaurant in Maginhawa, Quezon City

We have friends who love to eat out and have no clue where there are places to dine.  No problem with based on my experience we can refer them to places that are reasonable prices. Carmina had tried Sundays Cafe in the branch located in Marikina. I was informed by the server they will be opening their second location sometime this year. Few days ago, Mom Violy, Carmina and some friends came with us to see the new branch of Sundays Cafe and Restaurant in Maginhawa, Quezon City. There is parking in front of the restaurant.  We walked in and noticed a sign saying it was a soft opening. The place was full yet they we're able to accompany us to our table on the ground floor. Someone working there gave us a tour upstairs where the function rooms to those having a party.  The restroom is unisex the first door has the handicap and two restroom doors for male and female to use. The two menus were handed to us one is Filipino and International food.  Next the utensils, napkins, glass water p

Yana's Travel Wellness from Los Angeles to the Philippines

Carmina wanted to get a different point of view when coming from another area in California to see how it was like visiting the Philippines. Carmina asked her cousin Yana if she would like to participate to let us know the feeling visiting her family members during the pandemic. Carmina asked Yana some questions to answer by emailing it to her and sending photos/videos during her vacation. Giving Carmina permission to share it in Carmina Lifestyle. Yana's Traveling Wellness from Los Angeles to the Philippines Coming from Los Angeles, there is a big difference from traveling during the pandemic compared to when life was normal. The travel regulations are very strict in the Philippines. It's too hassle to go to your hotel accommodations. You pass through an inspection such as an x-ray machine. Not only that, but you also have to show proof of your Covid-19 vaccination card every time you step in the hotel entrance.  You have to wear mask all the time even when you dine in except

Reflecting on 3 Years Blogivesary and Thankful on Carmina Lifestyle

Life begins when you don't realize three years has passed. Building a personal blog is having a career or relationship we try to expand to make it grow stronger by reaching out to people who we don't even know. We try to find out interest people based on topics within using words, pictures or video. Having Carmina Lifestyle was something that made me a stronger person where you become someone special or followers who look up to you. We don't spread untrue stories we go based on our real-life experiences. Picture yourself staying inside your room in the Philippines during the pandemic. Most of us see our family and friends going outside. Everyone comes to a peak in their own life where we envy those who are able to explore in the countries they live. During our time traveling and going out of our homes were prohibited.  Now it is slowly changing cases are less people are getting vaccinated from covid-19. Something I realized when I had travelled to California not many of us

Becky's Swimsuit Challenge for Summer 2023

Becky had informed Carmina if she wanted to take a Swimsuit Challenge for the Summer coming up next year. Carmina had no problem with it since she had purchased a  Swimsuit  last year, but never found a time to use it since haven't gone to the beach since the pandemic. The last time Becky went swimming with Carmina was year 2018 at  Fortune Island  on by birthday with Mary Ann. Carmina mentioned to Becky that she has a swimsuit given by my best friend and the size is quite big for me. Carmina took a picture of the swimsuit to see if Becky wanted to give it a try for our Swimsuit Challenge. Becky said, sure I can try a different color since it is very colorful giving me the summer look. The size of the Swimsuit is Medium from Old Navy imported from the United States. Carmina did house call and handed Becky her swimsuit to see for herself. Becky's response OMG how will I fit inside. Swimsuit Challenge has been accepting no way to back out since it was already posted.  We'll k

Mary Ann's Swimsuit Challenge Summer 2023

Mary Ann's favorite place is going to the beach. She would always ask Carmina to come join. Carmina notice Mary Ann went on the heavy side during the pandemic. Mary Ann wants to go back to her slim look. Carmina gave her a Challenge to do the Swimsuit for the upcoming summer along with Becky. Mary Ann said, yes, she'll do it! Carmina is happy that both friends will join our fun challenge. We still have a lot of time to make our belly hide away. 🤣 Carmina took a picture of the rash guard that Mary Ann wanted to fit into a size medium. I had purchased this rash guard one year ago, but never had a chance to wear it. Just to be fair since she gave Becky a swimsuit to wear also a size medium. They can figure out how they can manage to fit inside it. Summer is still faraway it gives Becky and Mary Ann to fit inside their own swimsuit.
