It’s always been our tradition that when a birthday is coming up in our close group of friends, we take turns treating each other. Mom Violy picks the restaurant, and we all tag along. Tito Boni prefers to use his credit card for dining discounts. Each of us has a role—Tita Edna handles the venue reservations, and Carmina coordinates with everyone to capture videos and photos during the celebration. Tita Edna called Seven Corners Restaurant to check if they have a buffet promotion for lunch on Tuesday, March 24, 2026. It has been confirmed booked for four adults noted it for someone's birthday. Mom Violy decided upon Seven Corners Restaurant remembering she used to eat there with her friend's long time ago. We were told that if you want to see the promotional offers for the coming month, you should check their Facebook page.

There goes a saying that the Filipino people love giving
pasalubong (gifts) when they are traveling or returning back from their
country. No matter what there is always something people expect from you even
if you have only been away for a short time.
It is a custom where we always
seem to buy something memorable from our trip. I have relatives that come from
the States and they always have a pasalubong to give me no matter if I am also
from there. To us it is way to show is gratitude to each other.
I have a close friend from the
States she always ask me why I always give her a gift even if it is not her
birthday. I just said, just because I want too. It is not like she is obligated
to give me a gift in return.
We have different means to
express ourselves not by words but to give them something we feel they would
like coming from our home town.
Just like when I travel to
another country I always have something for my employees it just shows
something to them they took care of my family while I was away. They always
seem to look forward in something that you give them. It doesn't necessary have
to be something you need to buy even those freebies you get from the hotel they
are even happy to use the shampoo, soap and etc.
Sometimes the employee teases
me when they know I will be out of town to get a pasalubong. Or I would tease
them back when they go off to a vacation to bring back a pasalubong. Sometimes
they do bring something from their hometown usually if it is provience they
come back with lots of native banana.
Or they bring dried fish or
some sort just to show and share what they have brought from their homeland.
