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. 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.

Dedicated to My Friend

In every picture there is a story and in every relationship everyone has their own stories just like a book we read or a movie on a show but no one knows the real story until someone explains it to you.

This story I would like to share is something my friend would like me to share to anyone who may be going through a long distance relationship.

Someone like my friend who needs a guideline how to succeed or master their own relationship I am not a doctor who can solve your relationship but I can be a good friend to help you guide to what my friend went through her relationship and may not catch the hints right away just like my friend or you might go through denial or may have learn the hard way from your previous relationship.

My friend wants to open to the world and let other people know what mistakes she had made from making the wrong decision in her life.

My friend wants to catch those who fall in love too easily not to make the same mistake she has made.

It took my friend too long to realize what a fool she has made herself and what kind of person she became with the person she really though he was the one.

In my story it is up to you if you agree or disagree with my story just be optimistic and think out of the box or how would you've handle if you're in that kind of situation.

Note:

I will be changing the names on the character for confidential reasons.
