Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce. Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice. A family member chose sisig with garlic rice.

I have been receiving calls from my mom's best friends who are a senior citizen and telling me if I can hear them clearly as they tell me stories their children are telling them they need to start wearing a earing aid.

I was teasing my adopted mom people will not think your old because the hip thing now us younger people are wearing ear buds in our ears to listen to music so either way does it look like I am old too.
We had both laughed and my adopted mom either way I don't want something hanging inside my ears how irritated it will be to have something stuck inside.
Just last week I had received a new earbuds I had ordered online Manang V asked me what is that so expensive. I had informed Manang V it is earbuds to distract myself from the noise in the house. I asked Manang V do you also want one for your ears so you can hear us but for you it is hearing aid since you have told me several times you cannot hear us.
Manang V said my budget is PHP 150.00 ($3.00) I said if you buy something that price it will be broken when you use it once and there is no hearing aid for that price range.
Manang V said than I would rather hold off on the hearing aid and let you talk a little louder or go close to you when you speak.
I remember one Grandmother told me when you reach my age you will know how it is so right now you can laugh at me and I will laugh up there in heaven when you reach my age.
