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.

Are you PANIC MODE, MIDDLE MODE or DO NOT BELIEVE MODE for the COVID-19?

I feel we are experiencing the movie called, "Blast from the Past" where the parents decided to let their son grow up living in their sheltered away from the environment outside as they thought something bad was happening to them. Only difference we are not experiencing 30 years just for one month or for the time being. Imagine if you had stay 30 years in your own home and not able to go out how would any of us survive this way. There are people who are on PANIC MODE ,  MIDDLE MODE and DO NOT BELIEVE MODE . But whatever mode you are experience imagine the movie Blast from the Past as they stayed until their son was already grown up to be a man. My friend was telling me that they have been receiving calls from their other friends who don’t seem to think this COVID-19 is serious. I was telling my friend no matter if you explain to them it will not stick to their brain no matter how you explain the way they think it is different from you. Just like the ones w

Bali, Indonesia

I was supposed to travel to Bali, Indonesia since my mom saw pictures from her friends who had traveled there recently and she wanted to visit the place. We had inquired from our travel agent after our trip from Australia. The best time to visit Bali, Indonesia is the month of April to October. Bali, Indonesia is a tropical climate like the Philippines where the beaches are really known for and if you're into this time of atmosphere this place is for you. If, you're not into nature like waterfall and hiking this place is not for you. At first I was wondering why my mom wanted to visit this place because she is not into swimming at the beach, hiking or into walking hours in the nature with fresh air.  Places to see in Bali, Indonesia: Kintamani: Batik UC Silver Village Mt. & Lake Batur View Penglipuran Village  Tegenungan Waterfall Turtle Island Tour   WaterBlow Bali Collection Bedugul: Mengwi Royal Temple Lake Beratan Ulundanu Temple
