Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Tropical Country

Holy week is approaching and thinking of a new destination that doesn't affect the coronavirus to ruin our upcoming vacation.

Places to choose from are the following places: South East Asia except for Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand Africa North America Central America Caribbean We will see which places comes to mind in what my mom would like to travel this coming year.

Trolley For the Extra Help

When you start to aged carrying heavy load of groceries doesn’t quite help you when you become weak to carry a full load as you transfer everything to your car. To bring it back to your home especially if you live in a condominium, apartment or townhouse with a far distance to your front door. Having a trolley help you pull everything together instead of finding someone to carry all you’re belonging for you. Here in the Philippines people shop in the public market to buy their meat, vegetables and fruits and they commute by tricycle, jeep or any source of transportation. There are some people who decide to just walk if they live close by. When you have so many things to carry and become heavy people like to use what they call a trolley. Grocery carts are not available when you shop in the public market or what we call palengke. Most places don’t provide plastic bags you will need to bring your own eco bags with you while you decide to shop. When my mom decide to ...

Clutter and Uncluttered Your Home

It is the month when you remove clutter that belongings to you and start giving to someone else who needs it. Mananag V was telling me her two Granddaughters need a formal dress to wear for their upcoming Junior Prom and they are on a tight budget. I found out my God Child is one of them that needs a dress. I had informed Manang V I have some formal dresses that I no longer need since I no longer attend formal party as well I have lost weight. If, the person is not picky she can have them for herself all she need to do is alter it to her size. I went to my attic looking for the formal dresses that I had mentioned earlier as I was cleaning my closet I have found other things I can give to her to lessens my clutter I had in my room. I was taught by my mom it is better to give something to someone than stocking up in your room when you no longer need it. After cleaning out my clutter and organizing my closet it became clear to me there we're other clothes I n...
