Short on cash but love seafood?

Carmina was planning to get a haircut on November 12, 2025, at Headway Salon in Tomas Morato . I called Mom Violy to see if she wanted to have lunch together and let her choose the restaurant. She then asked which seafood restaurant is located in Tomas Morato. Carmina sent the link to Mom Violy it is called,  Dampa Seafood Grill . When we arrived at Dampa Seafood Grill, the music was very loud. Since Mom Violy doesn’t like loud music, she asked if they could turn it down a bit. Upon entering, someone will ask how many are in your party; we told them there were only two of us, and they showed us to our seats. Mom Violy also requested a spot away from the direct blast of the air-conditioning. The restaurant has a policy to read before you place your order. Mom Violy decided to order her favorite butter garlic crab and shrimp from the menu, pleased to find the prices affordable. Yes, they have clean restrooms for both genders and a parking area in front of the restaurant. Mom Violy,...

About Carmina Lifestyle



My name is Carmina. I wrote this blog to share my experience about my lifestyle.

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!
