After coming back from my vacation my bedroom was under construction and coming with a small closet space wanted to get a bigger one without spending so much money. The closet that I had before my room was fixed up was a wooden cabinet that was very spacious yet there was problem in my room since the house was old was affected from the termites . Only way to get rid of everything they had suggested to break and remove the wooden cabinets and replace it with metal cabinets that for me looked like a locker room when going to high school. It is not spacious even to put your personal belongings and clothing that you have. I was getting frustrated since the metal cabinets are very low feels like I am a kid again. I decided to purchase my own since wanted something can be able organize my walk-in closet . I saw so many selections and colors. I was able to find  Home Tidy Store  in Shopee Philippines . Make sure you make measurements before deciding which one you like to purchase....

Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at  Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference.  As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...

Mom Violy, Tita Edna and Carmina have never been to Iloilo . Tita Edna suggested using her Philippine Airlines mileage to deduct 9,000 miles for a round trip to Iloilo and pay taxes of about 3,000 pesos ($50.85). Mom Violy and Carmina decided to do the same. Two weeks later, we learned Bacolod was recently hit by a typhoon, leaving fewer places to visit, so we changed our plans to stay in Iloilo, paying an additional 2,057 pesos ($34.86) for January 6–9, with Tita Edna leaving one day earlier on January 8, 2026.  Tita Edna told us that she has a friend Beth who can pick us up from the airport. Uniparentally plans had changed since her friend Beth and son could no longer tour us around, we decided to find ways to get around hire someone else. Jerson had picked us from One Madison Place where we had stayed during our vacation with the hours Mom Violy had requested. The first day we went to drive one hour and thirty minutes to reach  Miagao Church . We drove to our next destin...

Recently, Tito Boni visited Iloilo and suggested Cloud's Staycation Iloilo , which had a promo rate of 1,800 pesos ($30.51) per night for two people, plus 500 pesos ($8.47) for each extra guest. Carmina booked and paid a 50% deposit through the given payment method.  On the day we leave for Manila, we’ll have the location of where we’re staying along with directions. When we arrived at One Madison Place , we discovered it was actually a condo with a rented-out unit. In unit 4U, there was only one bed, and the so-called “second bed” was just an attached extension, not the two proper beds you’d expect. The bathroom was a letdown—the toilet wouldn’t flush, and the seat was detached and wobbly, which was worrying since we had two seniors with us. There were no basic amenities like extra sheets, towels, or toilet paper. After complaining, someone came to fix the toilet, but the seat stayed unstable. The shower head was rusty, making it unpleasant to use, and the balcony door wouldn’t ...

Ever wonder what it's like to run a YouTube channel or be a digital creator on any platform?  Some of us worry about constantly creating content and ensuring there's always something new for our viewers to enjoy.  In reality, it can be tough to revisit memories of past travels and recall every place you've been.  I've spent the past two days working on a trip I took seven years ago, and I'm certain that Basco, Batanes has changed since I last visited in 2018. Looking back on memories is a great way to share experiences with people who have never been to certain places or even known they exist. Meeting new friends through social media allows them to see these places through your videos. Family and friends, you've traveled with in the past can also recall those memories, especially as some seniors start to forget. In 2018, Carmina wasn’t even a blogger—just taking videos for fun as a hobby. One day, Becky suggested sharing travel experiences, saying there are peop...

Carmina was on vacation on the month of June visiting California. Carmina has a best friend who wanted to bring me out to explore only difference she is not into the social media. It was difficult to explain why needed to film places we went together. Carmina's best friend asked if she would like to visit a museum in San Francisco. I said sure giving me something my viewers would be able capture the inside a museum. Carmina's best friend went to pick her up and was told no filming while we're together. I was sad and wanted to film places making it a memory. Upon reaching Golden Gate Park Carmina held back filming when said to my best friend Mom Violy would like to see what is inside  De Young Museum . The only problem she cannot walk several hours will get tired. Mom Violy is into museum. Best friend sure you can film inside just no talking or adding me to the video. I was very excited and made a challenge to myself. Several YouTubers make silent videos when posting in thei...

Upon entering first thing you need to do is claim your card, and those who are new like Carmina just need to present driver's license.
