Wondering how to give your favorite luxury bag a second life? These restoration spots in the Philippines might just be your best-kept secret.

If you're looking to restore your designer bags to their former glory in the Philippines, especially around Metro Manila, Mom Violy can recommend E Restore Leatherworks for affordable price.

Carmina Exploring inside the Quezon City Memorial Circle

How long have you lived in Quezon City? Carmina has migrated to the Philippines fifteen years ago. There are places I've never had the chance to explore.  Being able to have time to explore comes around places that are not expensive. There are actually places in the area of Quezon City that can take you places where money is not an issue. From my observation inside  Quezon City Memorial Circle there are different types of food based on your budget. Entering inside if you are being accompany from a senior citizen/ PWD card holder parking is free all you need to do is present it to a small booth approaching the gate.

Mom Violy's Craving for Sweet and Sour Lapu-Lapu from The Aristocrat Restaurant

Mom Violy last time she has eaten at  The Aristocrat Restaurant  was with her cousin Marigold. Sometimes we are drawn by memories places you use to eat with your relative. When you reached a certain age people tend to remember places they have eaten in the past. The relative you use to eat out and dine at The Aristocrat Restaurant doesn't quite remember who you are. Carmina was able to bring Mom Violy to The Aristocrat Restaurant. I was able to see one of their branches located inside the Quezon Memorial Circle at passing when looking for Mom Violy's garden needs. Mom Violy was able to eat her favorite Sweet and Sour Lapu-Lapu. Mom Violy asked the server how long it would take to cook. The server said twenty minutes. Mom Violy felt she was getting hungry.

Carmina had placed her order for the Popular Filipino dishes from their menu. I had ...
