When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

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.

Photo Creativity in Your Room



When we have more free time in our hands to stay home I decided to think of what to give my niece for their upcoming birthday for this year as a birthday gift. I had remember my niece had like what I did to my organizer board my sister in-law gave to me years ago and decided to just hang all the key chains that I had purchase every time I had traveled around with my mom for my souvenirs.

I decided college girls are more into pictures taking and having so many frames in your room takes too much space in your bedroom. I decided to give them something else that can use the same concept and be hung on their wall this way it would unique to everyone with their different style on how they decorate their room.

I have these options to be used for their bedrooms for my niece who may have their own taste and this way I can buy them paper frames to be hung like these examples:


















You can add led lights on your photo display to enhance your picture frame if you choose to add them. This way when it is dark you can still see your pictures.



Led lights are battery operated no need to plug to the wall and can place them in a mason jar if you choose to add more decoration in your room like this:



Enjoy your time to be creative while you have the chance!
