Today someone in the house wasn’t happy how her Christmas tree was decorated next I know there was no more decorations it was placed in a plastic bag. What happens when the person who had decorated the Christmas tree doesn’t remember she was the one who did it the second time around? We have a family member who is under going through early dementia no matter if you tell her she was the one who decorated the Christmas tree she will not remember. The family member wanted it to have fewer decorations on her Christmas tree and didn't like what color ornaments was on her tree. The Christmas tree that Gina had decorated beforehand felt there we're too many things going on with the tree with big ribbons. The family member thought it was too busy and distracting the way she had looked at the tree. From the moment on a person begin to age every year the memory gets worse and once the person stress themselves from their environment for a person who has been a perfectionist has al...

Going back to our American food that we often eat on a cold winter day is beef stew made by our family member some people like it made from someone else is at Marie Callender's beef pot pie. I remember when I was young living in California there use to be a Marie Callender's Restaurant in Fremont Hub Shopping Mall located in Fremont a place I grew up as my childhood years. Even though the restaurant version no longer exist we can still purchase frozen Marie Callender's in the grocery store for our own convenience when we feel like eating it by heating it in the microwave. Although I am not living in California I was able to purchase it in S&R just like a Costco everyone shops wholesale in the Philippines we too have something like that here. Even if it is microwaveable food the meat is soft and tender the texture doesn't change at all still taste  the same.  To refer to other products of Marie Callender's click here to direct you there: https://www.mariecallende...

Do you ever have someone you're talking asking what time it is?  Sometimes you come across who you're with they keep asking you what time it is and consisting looking at what time this has happened to me a lot of times either in person or on the phone. Questions I ask the person if they ask more than once: Do you have a date? Do you need to be home in a specific time? Are you expecting someone to come over? When I reply with question number 1 the person laugh at me the person say why do you say that to me if I have a date because you're always asking me every time when I am talking to you. It becomes annoying at time you feel they no longer into your conversation might as well not talk anymore on the phone. I also have someone come over your home by appointment and they keep looking at their watch to see the time. I always ask them question number 1 and they say no just my sister might look for me why I am not home yet. I always tell them why not call t...

I have purchased a lot of different types of vegetable seeds for my mom and we have come across some where they don't show the actual color of the seeds you would purchase once it arrive to your home the seeds are not even close to what is shown in their picture.

I will show you the difference type of seeds I have purchased and what my mom has tried to plant ...

  I asked Manang V for a green glass downstairs in the kitchen. Manag V handed the glass and said that is not green that look like color white to me. I realize when you’re getting old your eye sight begins to change the vision of one person can change when you’re not wearing any eye glasses. Same situation had happened to my mom I placed a clear Tupperware in her freezer with a white fish inside that was cooked by Manang V when I had visited her on her birthday. It was in a clear container my mom had a difficult time finding it inside her freezer along with colored Tupperware in which she was able to identify the other Tupperware the other day when she felt like eating her food given to me. My mom started calling me up over the phone telling me I didn’t give it to her. No matter if you had explained where you had placed it in her freezer she won't admit she cannot find it. My mom ended up finding the clear Tupperware after one week looking for it this is when I realize peop...

Sometimes we can be a good influence to those who lack of not knowing what future holds and there are times those people lack nothing because they are use to being who they are during a part in their life someone comes along to change who they are to become a better person.

  Clothes that make you dizzy when someone else is wearing next to you in every life Carmina Lifestyle shops with my mom we always have an expression on what type of clothing we buy. My mom has a habit of showing me an outfit the colors are too bright. I would call her stop light. The reason why I call it stop light is you can see that outfit she is wearing from a far distance you will be able to recognize her from the color of outfit she is wearing. The colors that are too bright to your eyes you get blinded from the vision harm your eyes and you feel dizzy from looking at her when you are next to each other. I have other terms I used when my mom wears different bright designs for example my mom decides to pick colors with yellow and black I would call her bubble bee that resembles of a bee insect. My mom would laugh at me she doesn't mind when I tease her. I always tell my mom if you plan to buy the outfit make sure I am not with you. In the picture is my Tita who is the best f...
