Mom Violy and Carmina’s dining experience at Dean & DeLuca

  Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time.

Traveling Within Your Reach in the Philippines


We always hear someone saying there are places they would like to visit places because they have seen from their friends who had recently traveled. When we see our friend’s picture we start to envy them and we tend to follow or copy them because the area that they have traveled has caught our eyes.

Sometimes people envy other people because they wish they could find the time to travel just like a mother and a daughter are exploring with one another.

As we aged we look at ourselves and we don’t realize we should travel while we can still walk and enjoy our money because they saved up we cannot bring it with us.

There are people who work really hard but don’t see the opportunity to give them time to travel and live the life the fullest in their mind they need to earn the money for other priorities listed in their mind.

I love traveling and exploring new places right now I feel helpless I would love to go out and explore like anyone else who might feel the same way.
