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...
When I had arrived back to Manila and I was unpacking my
belongings separate the ones that need to be washed.
I had separated the shampoo, conditioner, bath wash soap,
body lotion, soap, brewed coffee, sugar packs and tea bags that were given by
the hotel during my stay. Each day my room was cleaned and they had replenished
my supply I kept it to accumulate.
I have sixteen employees who work for my parent in-law’s
business and every time I come back from my trip I make sure I have something
to give to them that looks like a loot bag of goodies.
Funny Story:
I gave four employee’s their loot bags that had either one
tube of shampoo, hand lotion, chocolates, wafer cookies, brewed coffee with
sugar pack and hard candies at night before I was going to sleep.
Morning came and I went downstairs Manang V had informed me a funny incident that had happened to her last night when I had given her the loot bags.
Manang V said, she didn’t really pay any attention to what
was inside and she place her loot bag in the freezer thinking everything was
all chocolate.
Manang V had informed Ike to do the same thing. Ike said,
Manang V they are not all chocolate there is also shampoo inside and the whole
time Manang V thought the shampoo tube was a chocolate bar.
Manang V said, she got fooled by the look of it.
Ike thought the round soap was a chocolate he decided to
open it up found out it was soap. It was so funny as they informed me what had
happened.
They had informed everyone in the house, so they don’t make
the same mistake.
