Carmina has been eating breakfast at the Hilton Garden Inn and the person she often sees Rowena finding out she is Filipina. Naturally Mom Violy will talk to anyone who is coming from the Philippines it is just a given way to talk about our hometown. Carmina took a photo with a mask when Mary Ann said why do you have a mask on show your beauty so we can recognize it more. Carmina took Mary Ann's advice and asked Rowena if we can take a picture without our mask off. I know I will have a follower complaining why we are not smiling well Carmina is hungry and Rowena is working. We have no time to smile but who knows someday you'll see another picture when you have found a new follower for  Carmina Lifestyle  a place to look, discover and share. Thank you for your support!

Carmina had informed her sister Charina that the vegetable she been wanting to eat is fresh artichokes. Charina had purchase Ocean Mist Microwaveable Fresh Artichoke that can be cooked for 7 minutes inside the bag by adding no water in it.

Her best friend responded and greeted her with a welcome back asking when Carmina was free to see each other.

Before you enter inside Five Guys Burger and Fries, you'll be asked to wear a face mask. Carmina had noticed most customers inside while waiting for her food we're mostly men. Carmina was wondering why after she had received her Single Burger with no mustard, pickles and hot peppers. The burgers are big, and it is also messy when you decide upon ordering ALL TOPPINGS on your Double Burger with fries. They say the best way to eat it being inside a paper bag is to rip the top to make a plate out from it. Hey, Carmina was able to try an awesome place where the burgers and fries are really delicious. Carmina wouldn't mind having another burger before she leaves for the Philippines at  Five Guys Burger and Fries . NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Five Guys.
