Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice.

Status Symbol of Your Life


We come across a discussion with someone and they ask what your status is doesn’t mean the status if you are single, married, divorce or widow. They are asking the status if you are poor, middle or rich.

Does it really matter what status you are among your friends?

This is my story I came across from when I had started living in the Philippines to explain why it doesn’t matter to me what status you are and who knows you may also agree or disagree with me.

When I moved here in the Philippines I had to start from the bottom just like anyone else moving to another foreigner country as we all have moved across another place other than what you are use too your living environment because more dramatic than what you are use too.

In the beginning you cannot complain where you’re living because this is a part of life that comes with adjustment period not only for yourself but the people who are involved.

When you live with other people who not only a family member and employees who come different province of the Philippines you learn to get along with them.

They may not have money like anyone you are use too but I had never look down below who they are I had accepted who they are because they are human being and I was never taught to look people among who wasn’t the same level as I am.

I was always questioned by family members why I decided to be close to the employee and why I ate with them in each meal at their table.

I was also talked back and lectured to anyone who didn’t understand who I was and who I am now but I really don’t care what they think of me when I was managing my parents business I had to deal with elderly and teenagers I knew how to balance my time and being in charge how to train them to become a better employee.

When you become a role model for those who work among you and they look up to you there is no time to judge what status you are with them.

The employee who I work with didn’t speak the same language as what I had spoke in Tagalog or English but either way they didn’t judge me as well for some reason for many years we are able to get a long with each other.

The employees took the courage to speak English since it seems so common language in the Philippines but of course it took time to speak the language and until now they ask me the translation of some words.

You have probably seen in my videos that I have post in my Facebook Page under Carmina Lifestyle.

I am not anyone who you call rich but I don’t care what status you are and I don’t care what my friends are as well.

My friend who asked me this got really mad at me because they couldn’t understand me for who I am and I realize why does it matter what status you are to me it is not a big deal.

No one will know what status you are and some people who are not rich dress how people want them to look but there are people who are rich don’t even dress what status they are because they don’t want to be recognized.
