Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

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. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot

Preparing your family before you leave off for your upcoming trip:


Not like living in the Philippines you can delegate the employees in your home to let them know what they are responsible when you leave your family behind during your travel.

  • I always make sure my family has food to eat and end up filling the house with food and shop with them to see what food they would like to eat other than buying food from the outside this way I know my family are eating well enough while I am away.
  • Their driver has a schedule what time he needs to drop off and pick up from their school this way everything becomes well organized. If, the schedule has been changed the students will be the one to inform them ahead of time.
  • Give your students allowance in case they need money for their school projects.
  • Make sure they have school uniform to wear during the week.
  • We have a freelance that comes to the house who does our laundry and iron our clothes during the two times in a week.
It is always best to have the communication with one another so everyone will be well informed.

Work:
  • Delegate someone to take over while you are not around to do your work and train them if they are not aware how to do it before you leave gives them a chance not to call you up when you're away on vacation.
Even if you’re so excited from your upcoming trip you still have responsibilities your family will be well taken care of when you are not there.

Living in the States it is the same way we make sure our family has someone to prepare their breakfast, drop them off the children from school where they have carpool from friends where your children are going to school. I have seen this happen with my sister when she is away from her work and she is required to leave her family behind.

As parents we still make sure our family is settled and no need to worry when we are not there every day.

I have friends who bring their dog to the shelter or have friends baby sit while they are in town this way they get to enjoy themselves with another family member.

Dogs are just like human they look for their family when they are gone. I have experience that when my sister asked, me to baby sit their dog Coco. He wasn't himself he stayed at the door thinking his owner would come home one day. Just like anyone else they too have no appetite to eat because they feel homesick without their owner at their side.
