Mom Violy wanted to eat crispy pata and pinakbet from Seafood Island Restaurant located in Cubao, Quezon City near the old Shopwise. We had arrived early being the first customers waiting for the restaurant to open. Few minutes later customers began entering the restaurant and we have already placed our order. Mom Violy ordered her crispy pata and pinakbet. Carmina ordered garlic butter shrimp since I don't eat crispy pata. Family member ordered calamari and shrimp fried rice. Everyone had a taste of our meals with leftovers to bring home. Watch my video Running Errands in the Philippines . NOT SPONSORED.

Every time my mom goes out she runs into meeting someone new and
becomes her new Facebook friend. We stayed hours in the grocery store as they
share their stories in getting to know each other.
As they kept saying it is
already late they still keeping talking and the more they didn't want to
separate from each other.
They are almost the same age
range and her new friend also uses to work in California so they really have
something in common to talk about.
They are both retired and they
share the same interest with ballroom dancing. She was telling us that she
hires a dance instructor and it is one of favorite hobby.
I was telling her to invite my
mom along so they can be new close friends to pull her away and find something
new or a hobby she use to do, but had stopped because her cousin had passed
away.
The funny part they have a
Facebook account, but they don't know how to add for a friend's request. I was
their personal assistances and took over both of their Facebook accounts on
their phone.
Finally, they are considering
Facebook friends.
As you get older some people
don't know how to ask for friend's request and they feel incapable to rely upon
someone else to do it for them.
I don't mind helping someone
who asks for help.
As I was talking to the new
friend of my mom I realized we had shared the same experiences living with in-law.
I really know I am not alone, but everyone's atmosphere can be crueler than
others. It is always best to tell them how you feel and not let them walk away
hurting your feelings. Let them hear you out even if you feel you will hurt
them more.
The new friend had told me it
is better to just put it one ear and let it pass the other ear. Just don't mind
them and always talk how you feel. No matter what the more you keep to yourself
you will just stress out and won't solve anything.
Always be tough and one day who knows they may change and if they
don’t change at least you have become stronger to put up with all they say to
you.
The funny thing I learned from her she said, if your boss is cruel
to you tell them it is not a part of being cruel from receiving a paycheck from
them. They should learn to be nice to you. Sometimes God is testing you to see
if you can handle the hardship to change the person whom you’re working for to
make a change out of them.
She said, it is better to ask for help from God than someone else.
He can guide you better and help you when you talk to him.
Some people talk to God for a reason not just when they need help.
But to guide them when they are need for help.
God will not listen to you when you lecture people below you and
when you go to church they go back to their old self and lecture the people
below them.
I have someone here at the house who has told me why I don’t go to
church. I was telling her I don’t go to church because I see you going every
day. You don’t do what you have promised God. You are cruel to the people you
work for you say bad stuff that hurts them from the bottom that those people
feel less of themselves. Sometimes those people lose self esteem when you lower
their pride.
Every time you go to church and always say you will do better do
you really do what you have promised?
Some people go to church just to meet new set of friends and to
dress up.
I want to go to church to pray and not do what other people are
doing and I seem to get distracted from those people.
People say you can just pray at your own home watching on
television at least no one is distracting you.
I believe God is just testing us to see if we can handle the
challenges in our life. There is always something better out there for us. Just
that we haven’t found it yet. Or what you can say a hidden treasure.
