When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice. A family member chose sisig with garlic rice. Carmina enjoyed her meal with Mom Violy and particularly liked the  lumpiang hubad , though she kept wondering why it had no wrapper.

Becky Highly Recommends Headway Vera Salon in Timog Branch to Carmina

Carmina had a date with Becky for lunch not able to communicate with each other for a long time. Since we have spoken to one another every day you begin to miss each other as friends. Becky had noticed my hair being long asking if I had any plans to have it cut. I said yes, the person Becka who use to cut my hair is too far away from me. Becka had moved to a new employer that is Taytay which I didn't want to travel too far just to get a haircut. Becky had mentioned she saw a parlor near the area of Timog in Quezon City. Becky said the reason she likes  Headway Vera Salon because when the people come out the ladies have beautiful hair. Becky asked Carmina if she was serious to get a haircut today. I said yes as long there is not a long line when you enter. If there is, I'll just ask for their contact number.
