Christmas in September

Just when you feel there are too many unwanted things in your room. Every year I would give away most of my clothes and shoes that no longer fit me.  Carmina became a Santa Claus on the month of September where she gave out Christmas gifts to her employee among their family members and friends. Carmina felt they can use it ahead of time rather keeping it inside her room adding clutter. Carmina has a best friend giving her new items when she last visited the States. There are moments when a shoe doesn't quite fit you being too narrow. Rather selling it I decided to give to a relative who can surely use it in the picture shown. Whenever someone gives you a gift no one can say anything if you didn't use it because it becomes your own property once handed to your own procession. There are many times I would give someone something they are not the ones using the item. They also think of the family member close to them who would need it rather them using the gift. Carmina doesn't...

Carmina's Review on Tuna San Salad from Salad Stop!

Carmina went back to eating salad where she has ordered from  Salad Stop before in the past. The serving is quite big for me. I can eat it three times. The ingredients are romaine, hard-boiled egg, seared tuna, avocado, edamame, cherry tomatoes, mandarin orange, sesame seeds, wasabi and honey soy dressing for PHP 365.00 ($6.40) not including delivery fee to the rider through Grab Food.\ Carmina's first serving was with the tuna, so it won't spoil right away with the ingredients. Second serving I added what I had in my home with canned corn and marinated artichoke hearts. Until I was able to finish my salad lasted the second day by placing inside the refrigerator. To see what else I've tried are the following: Hail Caesar Salad & Big Bird Salad Signature Salad Go Geisha NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for Tuna San Salad from Salad Stop Philippines.
