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.

Sleeping

Every day it is the same routine just to stay home and now we sleep late hours and find out we have slept more than usual eight hours and exceeding to ten and you end up having a bad headache of too much sleep. I am the one who is also experiencing that and waking up with a sore throat as my friends have message me before saying they have a bad cold and we live far away from them it seems silly to think you have caught it from them.

Or when people are use to going outside but cannot step foot because there are police patrol outside your home you get stress over something else. As you hear from your friends who we're sick and now feeling much better than find themselves less online and they have continued their regular routine in which you are not sure what they have been up too. As you are trying to get yourself well rested you just continue your day how you ...

Stranded in Doha on July 15, 2016

This is when Mom Violy and Carmina got stranded and had to sleep over night at Doha coming from our Amsterdam trip and we didn't reach our connecting flight due to our Qatar airlines being delayed traveling to our stop over. The best part I had extra change of clothing, and we're told we can only limit ourselves in our clothing that is why I always bring extra change of clothing in my hand carry because you never know what emergency you will expect on you Qatar Airlines provide us a hotel and meals voucher during our stay.  New friends I met during the same situation as us. After our experience we learn not to get a connecting flight and always stuck to a direct flight with our bad experience can never forget. NOT SPONSORED.
