Carmina had a family member who was the one who introduced Sugi Japanese Restaurant to her five years ago. We used to dine there every time there was a special occasion. Upon entering on the left side there will be someone to assist you asking how many you are, so they have found a table for you.  I suggest if you are a lot, you can call ahead and make a reservation.  After entering five years later you notice the decoration and the menu has upgraded. Looking at the menu got me so confused good thing the server was able to explain it to us. Mom Violy's common Japanese food is always the chicken teriyaki bento box. The person helping us said they have items off the menu. Mom Violy was able to get her favorite chicken teriyaki bento box includes with Japanese rice and miso soup. Mom Violy also wanted some sushi, yet she cannot remember what she had ordered. Elle and her friend Esa shared mixed vegetable tempura and sushi that had eel. I am not sure what the name of sushi is....

Carmina was thinking of quitting in Poppo Live. The money I had decided to donate the coins to my two friends I met inside. After I had informed Amy and Rolex they felt so sad that they won't be able to see me in my solo live streaming. I had sent them money work of 3,000 through trade which was the watch while they had hosted their own party or attended one.

In real life when you had a friend who introduce you to someone and one day the friend you had disappeared. Somehow in the beginning your lost yet for reasons we become stronger once our life is settled. We end up meeting new people who has experience in Poppo Live. They may belittle you because they question why you're an Agent. Some people question me why I am an agent being level 4 in Poppo Live. They don't know the real story. People believe in what other people say.  For me it didn't bother what people told me because I believe I can do it by increasing my status from level 4 it will go up in time. We tend to observe what other people do. The only way we learn is follow our knowledge to see what works for us. A new friend said you supposed to be level 25 not level 4. Who will enter your agent. I had informed the person I don't expect someone enter my agent. It is up to them willing to do it or not. Just a title how you rank yourself up being promoted from a job. I ...

Carmina has been craving for vegetable lumpia. Anyone who has mentioned to me that they have eaten for lunch and lumpia comes to mind. I begin to crave for it even more. I decided to make my own at home. It came by memory when I was purchasing my ingredients what Mom Violy use to buy when making it long time when I was a kid. Mom Violy uses to buy frozen mixed vegetables at the grocery store. I remembered Mom Violy puts fresh beansprouts. She would always ask me to remove the roots while I was watching television. Mom Violy has a best friend in California. Auntie Hermie always makes vegetable lumpia by handing out to her friends.  Auntie Hermie's friends call it egg rolls. Everything came all to my mind how vegetable lumpia was the common food eaten when I was growing up. Being an adult vegetable is still my favorite food. Just we begin to crave food what we use to eat. The only way is to save money is making our own and have it store in the freezer. Carmina also saw some people ad...

The time I had purchased the Soft Bites from the nearest 7 Eleven near our home there was too many people. I really didn't check when the Soft Bites what the expiration date was. I don't think one day expiration will do any harm if you have eaten it. Those who love to eat carrot, walnut and want something sweet to eat will surely enjoy it. The price of the Soft Bites Carrot Loaf is 250.00 pesos ($4.55). I was also able to try  Soft Bites Banana Loaf with Real Banana, Chocolate and Walnut . If you asked me which one, I prefer the most I'd say the Banana Loaf since I have never seen a big banana inside a loaf before loaded with chocolate. You may also want to try and see which one you prefer over the two flavors that can be purchased at the baked goods inside 7 Eleven Philippines.

Carmina wanted to make her own home-made wonton, but it turns out to be the same lumpia shanghai recipe of Manang V. Only difference my ingredients I added became my own special recipe. The green onion I had growing in my window used some of it cutting the tips. I also purchased half kilo fresh shrimp known to use for tempura at Farmers Market. I couldn't believe the prices of food now realizing I use to live someone's home not fully paying my groceries. Now, I can relate to my family and friends who has always complained about the expenses they have weekly on food. We learn to start budget what we can only afford. One reason I wanted to make my own dumplings having it stocked up in my freezer. Those days I wanted to just eat soup or fried wanton I can just cook it at home.

Carmina has finally figured out how you can rank yourself as Top 1 and so on. It began one time when there was someone who was watching my solo live in Poppo. She asked if I had ever played any games such as slot machines. I said, no.  During that time, I was saving enough coins to renew myself to be a NORMAL VIP. I didn't want to use my coins and convert it to diamonds.  The person said, let us add each other in Facebook so I can explain everything to you. I said, sure. We started communicating in Facebook messenger. No one is willing to chat with you in Poppo Live because there is a fee. Who wants to pay when they are saving up money for something. Majority they will ask if you have a Facebook account and if they can add you becoming their friends. She than explained where I need to purchase my diamond which is like a token when you go to a casino in real life. Once you have made your purchase on your diamond you can use it to play games in Poppo Live. Carmina was curious ho...

There are moments not realizing people surrounded around you know who you are.  Last week I went inside Palenque located at Gateway 2 finding out where Mom Violy wanted to purchase her dried fish. Is actually from a seller who I've taken a video of Vina's Dried Fish inside Farmers Market.  Gloria was explaining to Mom Violy which dried fish wasn't salty, I had noticed her face looks familiar.  Gloria had introduced herself to us saying your Carmina Lifestyle. I smiled and said yes. Those who are not familiar with Carmina she has helped a lot of people inside Farmers Market. She has taken videos of the stalls in what they sell. Carmina's goal is always helping other people trying to earn an income. The last time I saw Glo was in November 2022 at Farmers Market located in Cubao, Quezon City based on my article. Mom Violy shopping at Vina's Dried Fish inside Farmers Market We know majority of your followers live in the Philippines. Who knows out of your followers they ...

It is my first time seeing baked goods inside 7 Eleven. Or never really ever paid attention when walking inside since it is located at the left-hand side across from the cash register.  Every 7 Eleven branch is all different when you enter inside, but the one near our home I was able to see baked goods. I guess when you're hungry we have eyes for other things that is around. I went inside late at night on Christmas Eve. Back of the package and ingredients: Carmina had informed Becky about her new discovery. I know Becky is into baked goods. We know our friends who love to eat banana bread. Most of all Becky loves chocolate and walnuts it seems right to inform her all about it. I had placed it in the fridge when I came home. The following morning, I had sliced it up place it inside a plastic container since it in an aluminum container.  How does the banana cake taste? If I would describe it to your kind of like a coffee crumble because the top is the crunchy layer that has all ...
