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...
Coupon on the Sunday newspaper was so popular when I was
growing up in California. We would run out in the driveway to get our newspaper
and check out all the coupons we can use on an upcoming sale.
We would cut up the ones we needed and discard the ones in
the recycling bin.
After many years has passed cutting coupons in the Sunday
paper was no longer the trend people would receive coupon through email from
promotion in certain stores we had subscribed from.
Years later everything became paperless and when you enter a
grocery store they would give you a print out on a coupon of certain product you have
recently purchased.
You would become a member of the Entertainment Coupon Book that comes with lots of coupons in restaurant, hotel, car service and etc.
Now our coupons comes from our phone that you can just get
by giving out your phone number and register it at the store.
Sometimes the store requires a card to become a member to
get a discount from the store.
Now, in this generation we don’t use a card we just pay
online to get a discount from our meals through an application in your area.
Everything is becoming paperless and our regular credit card
bill no longer comes in the mail. It comes through via email.
