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 . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice. The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice.

Aunt
Lily said, hey I want to travel with you and your mom. I will bring my daughter
with me.
I
realize it would be great not only always meeting to eat out with our friends
we can travel with each other. We can experience more things together and still
be able to bond.
As her
daughter I am my mom’s personal assistance. My mom doesn’t know how to
communicate in Facebook Messenger.
I was
able to chat with Aunt Lily online and arrange for our upcoming trip for next
year 2021 it gives us enough time to look for promotional rates and save money
for our upcoming trip. This way we have a set a date and month together.
I have
other friends who always tell me why you even bother planning a trip so far
ahead. Why do you bother thinking ahead of yourself?
I guess
there are some people who don’t like to travel so much. There are people like
my mom and I who do.
We like
to plan ahead because we feel the need to want to see the whole world something
we could look forward too.
Sometimes
we build ourselves to a certain point for us to feel excited and look forward.
We may have a boring life that consistence doing the same thing every day. In a
time in your life you want to experience more than just what you do on a daily
basis.
I
started informing my close friends that I would be visiting them next year and
we started planning places we can visit while I was in town.
My close
friends got excited and we started planning places to see while I would be in
town.
I
realize it wasn’t only my mom and I planning ahead of ourselves when you look
forward spending time with someone you look more into what you can do when your
close friends is in town even if it is years ahead of time.
Sometimes
traveling gives us a push to work harder and give us a challenge to think out
of the box.
Of,
course you have other close friends who doesn't even see the point in planning
ahead. I guess we have friends who don't want to look forward and want to plan
when the time is closer to meet their calendar.
My
friends laugh at me when they see my calendar filled up with so many activties
in one whole month visit.
My
calendar has agenda that I have already planned ahead with my family and close
friends.
People
in the States have busy schedule they have work, family and appointments to go
too and when you plan ahead to give them at least a day to see each other it
means a lot to them that they get the chance to spend time with you while you
are in town.
My
family and friends have a different life when we need to inform them ahead of
time when you have children of your own they have a lot of school activities
that you have to also be active as a parent.
Sometimes
I have friends who have booked and schedule a date with me, but something
unexpected happens to their family and the only thing you can do is just
understand them and rebook on another day that will work for both of you.
I always
give my family and friends priority to choose their dates first before I ask
someone else to plan ahead this way they are VIP.
