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 dĂ©cor, 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...

Pro & Con’s from Phone Updates

 


Every once in awhile your phone will ask to be updated and there are some Pro and Con’s in having it done especially from any phone we have when we purchase our new phone we need to get comfortable in the new functions that is added in what we are not aware of its feature and the usage of each application.

The Pro is there are new added features in your phone just like what is offered in the new phones in the market for example my phone is a Samsung when there is a new phone on the market the same features are added on my phone from the last year generation.

How do you know when something is added on your phone there will be a letter “N” or a Dot in color Red to indicate there is something new added on your phone in each settings and application on your phone will show once you are exploring to see what are the new changes.

Example:

In this picture on the right side next to the light bulb there is a small red dot to indicate there is a new item added on your phone.


The new changes are added on your contact list which now has an Identification caller to protect yourself from people who are scamming and protects you from suspicious people trying to get a hold of you.

The camera also has a new feature when you plan to take a video there is Pro Video added and its feature shows in the screen shot.



There is a new feature for the mic for your phone something to learn to use as new things are being added to your phone.


You can now stabilizer your video which is cool no need to buy a handheld to do it for you and you can save money.


The Con is that you need to adjust yourself over again to the new features for those who are not the type to adapt to the new changes you will have a difficult time using your phone over again to the point you are too frustrated to the new changes.

This is one thing my mom always asked me to do for her when I am updating her phone she will ask me step by step what she need to learn from her new updates.

Sometimes when you update your software you cannot put it back how you are use to using your phone you need to learn over and over again until you understand how your phone works all over again.
