When Mom Violy wanted seafood, one name kept popping up: Breakthrough Restaurant. Would it live up to the hype?

After a road trip and exploring the area, Mom Violy requested some seafood and was given a recommendation to dine at  Breakthrough Restaurant . When we entered the restaurant, we saw it was bustling with customers, and Mom Violy asked for a table by the window to enjoy the beach view . The server informed us that we needed to place our order at the counter and choose the seafood to be weighed, similar to the process at Dampa . Tita Edna was busy snapping photos, while Carmina was filming as Mom Violy placed her order. Breakthrough isn’t air-conditioned, but they provide electric fans at your table for comfort. Mom Violy wanted sinigang and was deciding which kind of fish to have with her soup. Mom Violy requested the crab and shrimp to be cooked in butter and garlic. Mom Violy also ordered adobong pusit (squid). Tita Edna placed her own order, which was kilawin na dilis . Carmina wanted fresh lumpia , but since it wasn’t available, she opted for pinakbet instead. Everything seeme...

Opposite World



The life you live become the opposite from where your family and friends live and the way you live off from having what they call it an easy life the life they don't have and what they would want if they could.

The life I live in the Philippines living with a handful of people is a life some people don't want and they cannot picture their friends living in that kind of situation from someone who has lived here for so many years you learn to accustom yourself in every life situation you get use to it from the beginning it is difficult once you learn to live the way your life is you get acquitted to how it will become until you move out to have your own place of your own.

My friends always tell me how can you manage to live that kind of life and put themselves in my shoe they need their own privacy.

My friends explain they have been living life alone and being single gives them the freedom to do what they want to do and no one can tell them what to do.

I always tell my friends they had picked that that kind of life to live on their own and do what they feel they can control but I asked them do you see yourself alone until you get old don't you ever feel you want to be loved to have a companion who can be there to take care of you when you reach being a senior some people don't want to left alone in their home.

There are other people who prefer to live alone until they do become a senior they feel they have the freedom and they are independent to do whatever they feel like doing they don't need to worry for the other person who is at their side.

Yes, they do get lonely and it hits them at night this is what my friends tell me.

My friends tell me if they cannot find the companion maybe fate is not there for them. I always tell them you never know who you would run into and who knows there is a person just that you haven't seen them or they can be among your friends who are also single but never paid attention to them.

Sometimes we don't know how our life will be and who will be a part of our life when the time comes.

To get to know a person takes months and years to know they really well enough and by the time you have concentrated on that person you have known them enough of who they are and they know who you are based on your own conversation with them.

My friends always ask me if I we're to move back to California would I be able to cope it without any helpers in your environment. I always tell my friends yes I can cope with it and living the way I live I haven't spoiled myself any different than anyone else.

I can cook my own food.

I can do my own laundry.

I can clean my own home.

I can shop alone in the grocery store.

I can drive and I still have my California driver's license like anyone else we renew it when it is expired.

I can do things on my own and don't need to depend on anyone only myself.

Just where I live is only temporary everyone has their own dreams and where they want to live in order to do that we planned ahead and if those plans don't come sometimes in fate it brings us to a different direction where our fate can lead us somewhere else we really don't know what will happen when it does for sure I will tell you by than when I am there.
