Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...
All my life I have lived in California when I was young. I had moved to the Philippines where the custom and culture are very different from how I was accustom.
Living in the Philippines is quite different. I had to adjust myself from the tropical climate. It took me one year living in a climate that doesn't comes in four season.
While living here you have to deal not just the heat as well putting off lotion to take away the mosquito from you.
The traffic is different they don't obey by stop light. Sometimes they have a police officer standing in the middle of the street giving ways for each way to pass and cross the intersection.
Not like in any other country we have color coding in days we are not allowed to use our vehicle.
After I have lived here for many years I realized the Philippines is the best place to live or come and visit if you are a tourist.
The best time to visit the Philippines is on the month of January and February the weather is cooler and the airfare are inexpensive. The month of March and April is the high temperature where it is very humid. The month of May to October is the rainy season and we have typhoons during these months. November and December you can experience the spirit of Christmas. I should warn you traffic can be really difficult to come and go different places especially in Manila.
In the Philippines they bring out Christmas decoration early as when we start our bear month.
If, you don't speak Tagalog no problem we speak and understand English.
Here in the Philippines like any country there are places to visit not just beach or tropical area. We also have places to hike and enjoy the nature.
I have a lot of friends who have requested me to write my own blog based on my travel experiences, recipes, tips in any lifestyle and etc.
Thank you for reading my blog!
