Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try  Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2.

Grand Parents

The new generation having a family of your own is different when I had my own children.  The new generation babies and toddlers are dependent on tablets and phone from their parents. Children in this generation fight more and they are tough to bully their own parents. I have seen my employee who had a daughter living at our home. Her daughter had embarrassed her own mother in front of other co-workers and their boss. I have never seen someone disrespect the elderly and scream out in public area to get the way they want from their parents. I have seen parents so afraid of their own children and give in what they want. I am not like that I want my children to respect the elderly because one day they will reach to the same level as they get older. I had a grandmother she said, one day you too will be deaf, forget and aged like us. I will be laughing at you up in heaven. There was a time in my life my co-worker Ruth asked, me if I can take care of her gra

Family

Holding on to someone thinking there are sparks in the air makes you drawn into your imagination. You’ve always thought this person was the love of your life. You we’re drawn to the attention you couldn’t have from your family. You we’re looking for love. You wanted your family to be there when you’re feeling sick to the moment you can’t cook your own food. You we’re driving yourself for attention that the person you claim to be your true love. He was able to pull you away from the missing feelings you wanted your family to give you. Even if he was the opposite mate you never knew you would fall head over heels. Everything about him is none of what personality you wanted from a person. As you linked away from him finding out he fooled behind your back you become drawn to your friends who was there for you from all the troubles you had experienced. Your friendship grew and became close. Your friend told you that you are just like family to

25 Things about Me

We live in rules that come in our life and today I came across memories we may have post in our Facebook wall just to participate in something our friends may have sent us to do just for fun. 25 Things about Me Rules : Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, thoughts, or goals about you. At the end choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If, I tagged you, it’s because I want to know about you. (To do this go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, types your random 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.) My nickname is Chinkee, but ever since I lived in the Philippines people call me Jinky and cannot pronounce the word CH. I keep correcting the people who call me by Jinky, but it becomes useless to the point I don’t mind it anymore. I am shy, but I can be talkative once I get to know who

Twining Cold Infuse Tea

Honestly I am not a water drinker and sometimes I can’t drink water if it is not cold. I would rather drink green tea than water itself. They say you need to drink eight glasses of water in one day. I can’t drink to reach eight glasses. I was trying to figure out how can I consume my eight glasses of water especially right now the coronavirus is out and you are suppose to drink more glasses of water than usual.  I found out there is a tea that you can actually drink and it doesn’t have to be hot boiling water in order to drink it. The product is made from Australia called, Twining tea that you can dip it in cold water. I know this product makes other tea for hot water. I never knew they actually have this product. Have you ever heard of Twining Cold Infuse? Twining cold infuse has no artificial flavors or colors just natural fruit, spices and botanicals it is the natural way to add flavor in your water. The best part it is sugar free. There is no caf

Chachago Milk Tea in the Philippines

Chachago Milk Tea is from Taiwan and Vietnam. They have branches spread out in the Philippines. I have been to a lot of milk tea places and this is the first time the person at the counter where you order your milk tea will ask how much sugar you want.  At first I was confused because I didn't know what she meant by how many sugar because when we usually order from other places they don't ask you. I had asked, her what is the difference how much sugar do you put she said, the lowest amount of sugar is 25% and the highest is 75%.  The Menu

Potpots the Potato Giant in the Philippines

I love eating potato and what my friend’s call is carbohydrates. I always hear from them stay away from carbohydrates. Hey, I like eating them once in awhile. I have this theory when you see your friends there is no such word being on a diet. You should be able to enjoy bonding and eating out with your friends. It is not like we eat carbohydrates at home.
