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.

Yosemite National Park Year 2008 in the US

Sometimes when we are cleaning we come across really old pictures that you didn't know it had exist until you take a look of your past come to find out memories hidden in a cd- r where we use to transfer our old pictures for safe keeping. As I was watching the videos during that time I had a camcorder the kind that are really heavy and I realize I was always taking pictures and video when I am with my sister and her family. Pictures never lie and you get to capture memories that have been years ago and still being able to remember bits and pieces. What I can remember is we had stayed in PG&E private cabin where my dad had used to work for that company. You get to reserve a cabin up in the woods for one night. During that time my boys and I had arrived from the Philippines we had decided to spend time with my family back home. It was my boys first time going to Yosemite and my youngest was so curious that he thought it was cool to dip his shoe in the wa

Homemade Waffle Recipe

We don't have waffle mix so I use any pancake brand mix that you can in the store this time I wanted to try Krusteaz Buttermilk pancake mix. Homemade Waffle Recipe: Ingredients: Pancake mix (any brand) Egg (beaten) Fresh Milk (any brand) Butter (any brand) (melted) Electric Waffle Maker Bowl Fork Plate Step 1: 2 - Cups Pancake Mix 1 - Egg 1 Tbs - Melted Butter 1 1/2 - Cup Milk Mix in the bowl Step 2: Use a tablespoon and put some batter on the waffle maker make sure not too much or it would over flow in the back. Step 3:  The red light will appear when being cooked in the waffle maker and once the green light appears the waffle is cooked. Every waffle maker are all different depend on the model and brand. To be safe I always check it once and awhile by opening the lid. Step 4: Green lights appear use a fork to grab your waffle remember it will be hot never use your hands. Keep repeating same steps until you finish your waff

Marriage Problems

We see movies that we watch that has marriage problems as well when they have children of their own these children feel left out or feel that they are the problem why their parents have separated. Two people who vow of marriage don’t realize when someone falls out of love or have cheated during their marriage and what affect the most is not the spouse you have fooled around as well the package deal of your marriage is your children. My mother side of the family are divorced as well as my parents sometimes when we’re young we wonder how someone like our parents can fall out of love when they have been married for so many years. When you’re a student and not knowing the real life of being married you realize once you are older what that feeling means as you have seen so many movies that have the same problem any family will file for a divorce you begin to understand that the children are never the problem it is how our parents raised us to believe that our parents we’re on

To Change or Not To Change Who You Are?

As we get older we can no longer keep up in terms from younger and older people who uses terms what I can’t seem to pick up. I have to look up the word or honestly ask the person what the word means sometimes I feel I am not in tune with their world. I feel I am out dated and everyone’s terms are all different than mine we get frustrated at times but when you live away from the American way you become more old fashion when you live apart of another custom. My friends say I am too simple and I need to change myself because I am no longer young to do what my parents always told me to do. I am thankful for my parents being strict on me because if they we’re not that way who knows what kind of person I would have become. Sometimes you don’t realize the experience you’ve experience when you reach being older and you have children of your own you realize what it is and how to make their life the same as you’ve grown up or make things differently because their generation is
