Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...

Based from Realistic and Drama Series

So often when we are watching Korean drama we tend to pick up words from the television series.  One time my Aunt went to visit us and she had informed me her husband who works in a different country went to visit her during the holiday season.

She was all caught up with her Korean show that she didn't pay any attention to her husband. Her husband was telling her some of his problems at work. Her response was "FIGHTING". In terms from the Korean they use the word fighting in terms to keep going even if you can't handle the pressure. It is like giving yourself a push of support that you can do better to solve your problem.

Her husband responded to his wife what are you telling me to fight with my employee. (lol)

There are a lot of people who watch too many Korean drama never really pay attention to their surroundings. They get all absorbed in their shows that what ever they are watching they no longer pay attention to their environment.

Some times it is not good when you watch so many television you become unaware of your surroundings. You get lost and no connection comes in mind.

My aunt instead of calling her husband's real name. She had slipped and called him Oppa in Korean it means older brother. It is someone who is older than you can be used for your boyfriend, husband or any one who is older than you in not romantic way.

There are some people who takes picture use the heart symbol or peace sign when they are taking pictures with group of friends.

So people follow the trends in what they see when they watch Korean drama. They also copy what clothes they are wearing to be hip in style. There are so many Korean products in the Philippines that are inexpensive in other places due to we are closer to the Asia country. The benefit from shopping in the Philippines we don't have any taxes when you purchase clothing or accessories.

You can buy so much from your money.

Filipinos love their beauty products, but some time you really need to watch out on the fake and the original. Some time you cannot determine which is fake only once you use it and the texture is different.
