My friend from California who is also a Filipina taught me this recipe she doesn't prefer to eat rice during her breakfast and when her children want to eat an Filipino breakfast instead of using rice for the request of her family she would make an American champorado oatmeal version served with dried tuyo (fish). American Champorado Oatmeal Version Recipe Ingredients: 1 Cup - Instant Oatmeal (any brand) 3 Cup - Milk 4 Tbsp. - Coco Powder (any brand) Sugar (optional) Dried Tuyo Cooking Instructions: Cook the oatmeal the same procedure on the brand you plan to use instead of cooking with water you will cook it with milk when oatmeal is fully cooked add coco powder stir and transfer to a serving bowl. In a pan when hot add small amount of cooking oil add tuyo until cooked best with your champorado just like the Filipino way just the healthy version.

I always hear this saying when the cat is away, the mice will play from Lola Puring who uses to live with us when she was still alive. Lola Puring would giggle to me and laugh when her daughter is not home most of her employees are so excited when she is not staying at home. During our pandemic our family member decided to transfer to one of their children's home a long vacation to spend time with someone else but what happen when they decide to return back to their original home everyone living in their home begins putting back objects back in its place to make sure their boss doesn't see the misconception by neglecting their home.

  During the years when internet and high technology phone wasn't a part of our daily life we use to just call our family and friends from our landline telephone or pay phone to put coins to pay per minute every time we needed to call someone. Even though we have internet in our home and in our mobile phone there are other people who prefer the old style not having any access to the internet if we don't want to pay directly to our telephone at home we can purchase a PLDT budget phone card in the Philippines for PHP 100.00 ($2.00) for one hour.

We have a lot of people who become to be different from other people than we know and we realize we are not the only one feeling silly among ourselves so no matter what age you reach you can act to be different from other people.

Why stress what other people will judge you who you are and if they judge behind you're back that is normal where we all live no matter who you are I am sure you know someone who doe...

I discovered a new juice off from ordering in Laz Mart through Lazada application it was pack of 2 for the price of PHP 138.00 ($3.00) plus shipping to your location. Both of the juice taste really good today I had mixed the pineapple coconut juice with the Rio Cocktails drinking with Manang V and Gina today as our social drinking at the house they have been asking me to drink more than a month due to having my blood test I kept putting it off. Finally I was able to drink with them and Manang V didn't taste the alcohol after toward the end has she kept laughing the whole time and watching television during our drinking session. Pineapple is a good source of vitamin and Coconut is also healthy for you while it is raining season to prevent getting the flu. Of course pineapple and mango taste really good as well since they are also my favorite fruits. To learn more about  All Natural Seasons Juice  click here at the link given.

  I bought my mom some organic soil recently for her to start planting in her home to keep herself busy. My mom place the organic soil in her new pot and place water inside this is how it began to form into a soup based. My mom called me up telling me if I wanted a new recipe for Manang V to cook and showed me a picture the water from the organic soil doesn’t want to go down. In order to add her vegetable seedling my mom is worried that it will drown inside she started to get stress from it worried how her soup base soil will absorb with the soil my mom had transferred the soil to another planting pot having to poke it. My mom felt she was already cooking something in her balcony of her home so do you want some soil soup for lunch today it is yummy good for past Halloween. To fix the issue with the seller who I had bought online I had informed them what had happened with a picture included to determine how much water should be place when using their product. This gives a fo...

During our pandemic even if you want to have your medical check up and prefer not going to the hospital you can schedule an appointment to have the service done in your home in the Philippines. This is something my in-law's do often when they need to have their medical check up due to their age they prefer to have it done through Hi- Precision Diagnostic Plus of course you are paying a high price to have it done compared when you go in person. The phone number to contact is 8741-7777 then press 2 to schedule to make an appointment or download their application on your phone. The price varies on what type of laborites you plan to do for your health check up. You're a senior you have a discount just need to inform them ahead of time. They will ask for your full name and birthdate during this process. Safely is always an advantage when it comes to our health within our boundaries we look into doing it another way. For that last three months I have been wanting to have my lab work ...

I have been trying to figure what I can add to Carmina Lifestyle as we are still experiencing travel ban in our area and we are not allowed to go any where but stay in our home. I came across making Kitchen Recipe Cookbook for those who love to cook and can make it easier by going each selected by separating it by category it made me realize how many recipes I have so far. It made me realize why can't I just add a book in my Carmina Lifestyle a guide on each destination travel guide this way when the time comes we have something we have read to do our own research in places we would like to visit in the future when we're allowed to travel. It is alright to plan ahead to put an inspiration in our mind to give us something to look forward in our future life ahead of us even if it will not start until 2021. Today I will start off in the Philippines what you need to do before you decide to visit our area or plan to live here when you decide to retire or have your child attend schoo...

  What would you have done when your item you had ordered was the incorrect scent and size by grams? Are you type of person to inform the seller? Would you keep the item or hand it back over to send it back to the seller? The reason why I am asking you I had an incident that happened to me recently I ordered two pieces of Lysol Citrus Meadows for a size of 170g the item I received was the Lysol Crisp Linen 540g. I had informed the seller why the item was the wrong scent. The seller replied back wanted to apologize for the mistake asking if I would like a refund. Before I would click I had received the item I wanted to clarify what I had receive I felt sorry for the person even if the seller made a mistake life is difficult earning money as it is in the Philippines. Even if you worry for other people how they can earn an income than not knowing they are losing money off making a wrong mistake you don't want to accept something that may a greater lost for a stranger you don't...

You come across learning something new from yourself from a project you decided to make on your own. I was working hard on my summary of my documentary of how Carmina Lifestyle began I wanted to be creative to find something  I have never done beyond my own talents I had achieve something that I have never seen other people do make a video with your voice with pictures to share among my family, friend and followers to be seen to the public. We often see people make a vlog out of real life people who talk in front of the camera but we never see anyone voice video with pictures.  From my own experience it took awhile to accomplish something new and I was very excited I couldn't sleep or lack of appetited the voice video had paid off. I was recognize by my talent something I had discovered on your own. You have inspired yourself to work harder you  put your efforts on a project your mind goes to another direction to exceed it's limit to a place where you have never thought y...

The story of Carmina Lifestyle in the beginning my personal blog was meant for me but as when life had turned around, I realized my blog is meant for a lot of people not for me alone. I had learned a lot from the twelve months having a personal blog it wasn’t easy there are tricks to learn how to operate your own outlook insights to catch people to enter inside for so many trial and errors I was able to achieve something on my own and to me it is a secret. I realize it is easier for me to just hold on to a selfie monopod and just keep talking to my phone than to recite something what the celebrities do when they need to talk on camera. I always have family members to ask me to make a small clip to wish someone a happy birthday and I find it harder for me to do it to memorize a script to me it is easier when you’re in the mood to feel all words just flow out of your mouth from the moment you are more in the mood to talk. It took time for me to edit my video clips over and over again t...

  My favorite cookie in California is biscotti that is imported but in my situation they don't sell the product here or the cost of eating is off my budget this time I decided to buy something locally made in the Philippines. This is how the biscotti caramel flavor and ube look like when you open it up. The trend every where is made of ube which we often see in the market and social media from bread, cake, milk tea and so many more it is over whelming what anyone can make out of something for us to try each time. To learn more on the product click at the link: TJN Pasalubong Biscotti Note: I am not selling their product I was just curious on how the caramel and ube biscotti would taste.

  You may have notice I love to explore and try new other products. I have eaten pink salmon skin chicharon before when I would do a road trip with my mom most of the time it would be sold in the gas station in the Philippines. It is not the same product in which I had discovered online but they all taste the same only difference the House of Pink Salmon Skin Chicharon provide flavored Barbecue and Spicy Barbecue most other brand I have tried was either Original or Spicy. I love eating salmon knowing it is a healthy snack and doesn't go out of my days when I feel like eating a snack during the days when I crave something to eat. The best part it stays crispy after you have opened the bag that is a good thing for me since I cannot finish one bag it will take awhile for me to finish it.
