When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock.

My domain need a renewal and my credit card is already expired and since we are experiencing pandemic I need to find away how I can pay it on time before it had really expired. Due my credit card was coming from another country I had to find out if a new card was sent to my home town. Every day I couldn’t sleep and the more I worked to do more researched I came to a dead end something I had to see if my personal blog really mean anything to me or how would I cope if it we’re no longer in my hands. Or I thought what if I had applied to a new web host and a domain but then again I would need to start from the beginni...
