Think all sushi is the same? Sushizen will change your mind.

It’s not every day you get a sushi delivery in such a unique box, with no idea what’s inside until you lift the flap and get drawn in. Inside, you find a clever cardboard bento box complete with ginger, soy sauce in a tiny tube, and wasabi, all ready for dipping your sushi. Carmina had ordered her twelve pieces sushi from Sushizen through Grab food which was located in Quezon City . Sushizen doesn't have a social media account can try looking up in Grab or Food Panda incase would like to place an order. Here is the address: The Zen Daily Box includes 4 pieces of crunchy salmon special, 4 pieces of tropical spicy salmon roll, and 4 pieces of dynamite chicken cutlet roll for 299.00 pesos ($5.07), excluding delivery and tip. Carmina was surprised that the sushi was bite-sized and quite small, so it’s best to order additional food if you want a more filling meal. NOT SPONSORED.

American Girl with Slang Tagalog Accent


Recently, I had added my old friends whom I grew up when I was younger and while they we're watching my videos I had posted my friend made a comment did you adapted the accent of a Filipina because your voice sound so different.

I never had a slight feeling my voice was different may be I have been living in the Philippines since year 2008 and to me I had to adjust myself when I only understood Tagalog in what my parents taught me when I was really young.

I also spoke English and during the time I had moved it wasn't really spoken much here. I had a difficult talking to the employees who was living in the same house with different languages from their province in the Philippines.

You start living in the Philippines for a long time you end up picking up words your employee tell you as well on your own when you listen to Tagalog music and Tagalog movies no matter what you can pick it up easily when you are inspired to learn.

The funny part my mom, my sister and I all sound the same when we talk.

As you meet people and they hear you talk over the phone they are shock to her an American girl who they use to hang out in California is a different person when she talks in Tagalog. The part they can't seem to keep up when you tell them a story they talk so fast and it becomes mind blowing who is this person I am talking too is this the same Carmina I knew thirty years ago.

Why does her voice sound like I am talking to a Filipina that grew up in the Philippines and studied there?

When you have lived twelve years in the Philippines the opposite of your friends living back home they sound more Americanize from you it is like we have switched places from them.

Apart of you have changes because you become accustomed to the life in the Philippines.

I can still talk fluently in English and I talk really fast that a lot of people have to stop me to talk slowly.

When I travel in California my voice begin to change to the American girl they know and when I return back to the Philippines they look at me strange thinking you have only stayed for vacation for one month how can your voice be so Americanize so quickly.
