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. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Funny Stories



I had just recently changed my Facebook profile and profile back ground picture and
My friend message me and said Carmina your picture looks you are dead. I said, to my friend what do you mean. 

My friend said, because you are up in spirit up in the sky and since we are experiencing COVID-19 people might thing you are no longer alive.

I laughed at my friend and told her I am not dead, but if I was dead I will haunt you where you are.

My friend said, you don't know my address.

I had told her when you are dead you don't need anyone's address they will just sneak inside your boyfriend's body and pretend to be them nside by spirit.

My friend said, there is no way people can do that is that how much power a dead person has when they die through spirit and it is not in the bible.

I said, yes you see it in movies they even go inside an animal if they wanted too.

My friend has four cats in her home. I teased her I can take place inside your cat's body and become me.

My friend said, I still don't believe you so I told her when the time comes and we do die you will see it for yourself where is spirit will enter.

My brother asked, what did I eat for dinner and I told him left over Chinese food.

My brother replied back my wife also likes ice cream too.

I was wondering where he got the ice cream and replied back and ask what his wife favorite ice cream is.😅

My brother replied back No not Chinese.

My brother said, but ice cream is also good. 😆

Highlight of the story when you are not paying any attention to the person you respond with a different answer. Either the person will question your answer and you will get embarrassed or we just slide and just let figure it out on their own.
