Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try  Mamou .

Take Your Pick

Now, that you have my lazy sushi recipe I will let you know which seaweed is best to eat with it. I have tried a lot of brands, flavors and different textures. The best of the seaweed is the Korean brand it adds more flavor compared to the plain Japanese roasted seaweed. It tends to change the moisture in your mouth and it is dry. The flavor doesn't last in your mouth. The Korean seaweed can be bought in any Asian Store, Korean Store, Costco (S&R for the Philippines) and online such as Amazon and Shopee. My favorite flavor is with Olive Oil, but there are some people who don't prefer it. Enjoy you seaweed and there are some people who prefer to eat it with just plain white rice or pork barbecue with kimchi. No matter how you eat your seaweed you get to enjoy your meal in all sorts of ways.

New Changes In My Blog

I was looking at my blog to see if the Google Adsense was on my mobile phone when I was checking my site. I notice there was a problem and it wasn't showing only when I went to web full screen. The feeling came to me when I would scroll down the blog all my post for the entire day had no Google Adsense attached to my mobile. I decided to change the layout and theme. I didn't know once I would start changing how my site looks. I would also have to re-do and add the codes I have done the previous time. Oh my! At first I was thinking why I even bothered changing the way it had looked.  I had backed up my file. It said, most files will not be saved. I took the risk and worked on it. Now, I took notes that in case it does happen to me again. I know where I can fall back too. It took me the whole day to figure everything and make some big changes in how it looks. I feel it looks better, but my window and picture is no longer there. I am still tryi

Catch the Bugs

Believe it or not when you have aluminum foil rolled up inside a bottle filled with water it minimize the flies entering your home. You would think if you close your screen door it would limit the flies that enters your home. Sometimes they find ways and means to enter your own home. This has been proven to work and most of the flies will enter inside the bottle to float inside. We never like flies around our food when we're eating a meal. It distract us that it makes our surrounding dirty and we can't concentrate when we eat at the table. You are worried if the fly lands on your food. In my room I have an electric mosquito killer this attracts flies and mosquito's. I can highly recommend this preventing you getting bitten by mosquito's that love to bite you and follow you entering your room.

Termites

I was doing my normal general cleaning in my room when I decided to clear out my clutter in my room. I just recently came home from my vacation to visit my family.  I had opened my attic that is located in my dressing room on the upper closet door. I saw these bugs that looked unfamiliar to me. It ate the boxes in my attic and that is when I realized what kind of insect it was. I had called, up some employees to help me out. They had sprayed vinegar to let it all die out from the items that was already destroyed. I had to transfer to another bedroom next to me for two months. We had termite’s inspection in my room and found out the main bedroom also was infected termites. There was a termite house inside the wood located on top of my windows. They had sprayed the termites. The termite inspector showed me how they can detect whether there are termites or not. He said, if the wood is swollen there are termites inside. As he was inspecting I was able to find out he was t
