Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side.

What nationality does your beauty fall in which category?

Carmina is a Filipino, yet she has Chinese and Spanish blood from her an ancestry.

No matter what clothing I wear it all looks good on me even if it doesn't cost a whole lot.

We can fool people by how we match our clothing.

I am admitting that I shop at inexpensive places in the Philippines called Divisoria through stores I've posted in my videos and pictures.

We don't need to be ashamed where we shop because everyone is doing it as well.

I am a person who wants to make sure I can go within my own budget. Being practical was something I was taught when I was growing up in California.

The blazer I wore in Baguio was purchased it online during the pandemic at Allys Shopee, Online Shopee Philippines for 389.00 pesos ($7.07).

I felt since I couldn't go out there would be a moment I can dress up and wear it outside.

It was a blazer I've always seen it in the Korean shows I was watching. I had admired the clothes that they wore.

Mary Ann asked me where I got my blazer because I looked Korean.

The red blouse I wore to see my Uncle Danny eating at the Crab House Seaside was from Shoppenique RTW and the recent photo from The Alley by Vikings


My friends say I look good in red and black because my complexion is white.
