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...
Every time I travel my friends always tease me because my agenda is so filled up with the dates on my calendar they say, how you can manage to squeeze everyone when you only have one month to visit.
I always say that is easy you schedule some at lunch and dinner this way you can see everyone all in one time just that you are juggle yourself in between the day.
My calendar is filled up from Monday to Sunday no time to waste time because when you visit your only have one month to spend quality time with everyone you know.
The problem I have when someone is unable to make it for prior notice it is difficult to switch them with someone else because everyone is busy with work or family obligation.
Sometimes I have to combine some of my friends at the same time as long as they know each other it is easy this way and you are not wasting time.
I always plan ahead once I have already booked my airfare and know the actual date I will be arriving and returning back home.
