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.

What happens to the senior citizen when they are lockdown for four months?

Living with senior citizen being lockdown from their home for four months they are more restless and cannot keep up with the changes. They end up complaining and nagging you all the times asking when they can go out.

When you reach a certain aged and you are not capable of going out from your home and you start to get bored because you have run out of things to do in your home. You begin to find new things to do but you have no patience to learn new things and what do you do you end up complaining and your mood begins to change every day.

Older people have the less patience and they become someone who loses control from their feelings and they feel their palm or foot is getting itchy that they want the need to go out. The word no comes to someone else's mouth as you begin to realize the table has been switched around when your grown up children tell you no and know you need to behave yourself to prove to your grandchildren you can behave well enough like them.

When you cannot go out to walk around the park you end up walking inside your home to do your daily exercise but to them they find it boring and they don't seem to be inspired to do it.

They end up watching the same movies over again as repeatedly just like a kid would do when they have a favorite television show or movie.

Senior begin to forget what they have done and end up doing something over again until someone reminds them that they have done it for the day.

They take more naps during the day because they feel restless just staying home in their room.

They also eat more because there is nothing to do just watch television and eat during their show.

Most seniors are not high technology they spend less time in social media so when you live with someone like this they tend to get bored easily.
