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. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice.  The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot

Traveled in Hong Kong in the Year 1995

I was able to visit Hong Kong the first time when I was with my cousin. Her family brought me along to explore the area. During that time buying luxury leather handbags was the in thing. I remember I bought my first Ralph Lauren. During that time that was the popular trend. If, you had a Ralph Lauren leather bag you are really hip especially, wearing the Giordano teddy bear shirt from Hong Kong and Tag Heuer swiss watch. Jumbo Boat Ride Exploring the city of Hong Kong with my Aunt and cousin. Hard Rock Cafe was popular that time when I was young. I had friends who collected their t-shirt. They went to different branch and wore it to show off. Any girls dream to be able to go shopping when they are traveling.

Twins

After seeing my friend post a picture of her sister wearing matching clothes it made me realize when we're young all parents had always matched their children with the same outfit. I though when I was young we're the only ones wearing clothes our parents made us wear due to they wanted to have twins for their children even if they was an age difference. My mom had sew our clothes and when we looked back the clothes looked like the color and print you see from a curtain just like in the movie in Sound of Music when the kids needed play wear to wear outside and the father didn't allow to give them money or didn't believe their kids needed play wear. That reminded me how my mom made us wear funny looking clothes that my sister and I had to wear as we grew up and when we can decide what clothes we wanted to wear.

Happy Pill in the Philippines

Caramel Cheesecake Life works out when we see someone post a picture of food or we talk about food with our friends we begin to crave for the food we have seen in their post or want to eat the same thing. Sometimes that food doesn’t become available in our area and sometimes we need to find a replacement of our cravings to move it further to a different direction. My friend post she had received donuts and there is none in my area for me to get those donuts so I went ahead to think something sweet I haven’t had for a long time came out looking at Grab Food app to see what can be delivered in my area and came out ordering a milk tea. Happy Pill has different types of desserts to choose from you can check their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/happypillsundae/ Taiwan Tea Red Velvet Note: Carmina is not selling or advertising for  Happy Pill in the Philippines.

The Real Life Growing Up

For a pretty girl like you catches the eye of your past and start recognize that you begin to exist in your life as they see a new picture of yourself that seem to look familiar to them as they glance to see who it may be. You use to be the shy girl that hides away from the camera because to them you we’re not the pretty girl in their eyes you always held a book as you have walked passed them. The bob hair that you always had covered your beautiful face as you sat across from them they can only see half of your face. To that time you’re not as glamour because you never shown them the real you the girl who always drove your friends around. You never had the chance to socialize because you’re parents didn’t allow you to attend school dances. You never had to the chance to explore your funds we’re too limited and didn’t reach the budget to travel along with your friends.

Day 3: Marina Bay Sands Shopping Mall

My mom and I decided to roam around The Shops at the Marina Bay Sands before we will transfer to Crowne Plaza Hotel near the airport. https://www.marinabaysands.com/shopping.html My mom and I decided to check the garden located on the roof top of the shopping mall. The only difference there was a heat wave. We couldn't handle the heat and sun facing at our faces. It is best time to visit the place when it is not so hot. It is best to bring an umbrella or hat to wear during your visit. I can warn you there is a lot of walking and if you are bringing elderly people they may have a difficult time exploring the area. My mom had complained the whole time. I had ended up holding her hand bag. The time she had walked at her pace and rested at the chairs available it is best to bring drinking water during your visit.  There is a casino at the shopping mall. You are required to show your passport before you enter. Did you
