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

Chicharon from Cabanatuan City, Philippines

Chicharon is made from fried pork also called pork rinds in other places. Otherwise in the Philippines it is called chicharon where you dip it with vinegar or spicy vinegar with hot chili peppers. Sometimes they eat this while they would be drinking alcohol or just a snack just like how you eat chips. We also add chicharon to our vegetable dish called pinakbet which is mixed vegetables. This is not your common chicharon you see often people selling it are something different with no pork meat inside as well it is very thin and crispy. It can be bought inside the Public Market in Cabanatuan City located where they sell longanisa. My Aunt always gives this to me every time she would visit her home town. Too bad you cannot bring this to another country so when you come and visit the Philippines make sure you try and look for this chicharon from Cabanatuan City only sold there.   NOT SPONSORED.

Dressing Up Your Mountain Bike with a Set of Rims

You would never know that a mountain bike also needs rims for their added feature to make their bike different than others. We have known people who have money that love to fix up their grown up toy to the next level by having new upgraded features added to their mountain bike. I am not into this item but someone at home is into these types of stuff and when you show me a part that can upgrade your mountain bike to look expensive and to add something different based on an ordinary mountain bike you would think when they stop adding new features. In the Philippines people like to put their money or saving on their grown up bike to dress it up.  I even have known friends who own more than one mountain bike to them it is based on what color, style they feel like riding on the day they feel like riding a bike. We know other people like to match their clothing from head to toe while these people are almost the same way just they are matching their cycling clothes with their helmet, ge

Accessorize Your Mountain Bike Before the Real Ride

We love to accessorize ourselves when we dress up same goes for your mountain bike you want to make sure your completely prepare for the time when you can ride your bike outside. There are a lot of gadgets and other things you can add onto your handle bar to make sure you are safe when you're on your mountain bike I will be explaining which ones you might consider buying for yourself just in case you're like me getting excited to go out and explore when we have a chance too. But before you decide you need to consider thinking about your phone whether it is water resistant or not you may consider getting a water resistant phone case and those who have a water resistant phone make sure your case is shock proof in case it falls flat on the ground while riding your mountain bike. For your mobile phone if you’re like me you want to bring it along just in case of emergency purpose or for reason you want to take a picture or video during your ride you will need a Smartphone bike mount

Gear for Vlog

I have a lot of family and friends who are requesting me to start doing vlog but in order to start it off we need to buy our gear in order to produce the right video and no one really use camera to make a video we can now use our own phone but before we can begin we need to purchase the right gadgets in order to make a video professional. I did my own research and found out there are stabilizer monopod that you can use with a Bluetooth that connects to your phone. There is also a grip handle with a stabilizer for your phone and there are so many types of brands and what type you want and in order to find out which is best for your needs you need to consider what type is best for the size of your phone. At first it is mind breaking to do research to see which items are best for you to use and I am the type who use is too using a selfie monopod so I am considering using something I am use to using when I am taking a video. The items are not inexpensive there are range of prices and

Capture Your Fears to Over Come

We grow up when our parents use to tell us the word NO when we are not allowed to do anything when we're young and when we reach certain adulthood we want to break the rules to do the things that we're not allowed to do when we're younger. Or we figured we're old enough to break the fears and things we would like to overcome because we feel we are older and matured it is time to overcome something that has affected us before to get it over and do it with someone. It can be our partner in crime or a best friend you have to do it together but whomever you're with you will be sharing the same experience with each other. Sometimes people who are older they have some sort of bucket list of things they want to do things some of their parents restricted them and said NO to for example some parents prohibit us to ride a motorcycle feeling something bad would happen to us with an accident. Often you see grown men or women buying a motorcycle to get out and try somethin
