Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
Carmina has been to Gateway 2 Mall so many times. Every time you visit there is always something new to see.
Becky had mentioned she hasn't been inside Gateway 2 Mall.
Carmina decided to show Becky around from the beginning enter inside from Gateway proceed to the extension of Gateway 2.
From Gateway 2 from the entrance outside I had also showed it to Becky just in case she would like to explore on her own.
Carmina had mentioned to Becky there is a church in Gateway 2, but I've seen it yet. Becky said, sure let's look for it together.
I did my research online to see where it would be located and saw if you enter through the cinema from Gateway 2 from the back looks like construction is a hallway.
Seeing there was open area with sunlight seeing access of escalator where I was able to see seniors walking and a security guard. I asked the security guard where the escalator would lead to the top was informed the church was located at the roof top.
The name of the church is Sagrada Familia can check the hours mass is held by clicking the name.
I saw restaurant with street food but haven't gone inside to see what kind of food being served. I figure next time when I go may check it out.
There are so many constructions being developed on the area looks exciting to come back and see what is coming soon.
Becky had mentioned she wanted to buy some sneakers. I had showed Becky stores that are imported a place I grew up in California. Becky started remembering brand of sneakers she wore in the year in the 80's. Becky was able to remise from the past and explain which sneakers she had liked the most growing up.
I had remembered when I met Becky and living in the Philippines people, we're into slip on shoe wore while driving called the Top Sider. It was the fashion trend during the time called Sperry.
Who knows you can remember the decade people wore those shoes in the 80's and 90's.
We went to the stage wearing Keds sneakers. My favorite was the mule where you just slip on.
Becky is into coffee shops. I had mentioned there are a lot of the ground floor where the water fountain is located inside Gateway 2.
Becky decided to have her coffee at UCC Cafe. Carmina just drank cold water since I cannot drink coffee late in the afternoon.
So many restaurants and places that will be opening soon someday Carmina will enter inside the new places.
