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. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

  I have been receiving calls from my mom's best friends who are a senior citizen and telling me if I can hear them clearly as they tell me stories their children are telling them they need to start wearing a earing aid. My adopted mom said why do I need to wear a earing aid when I call you I can hear you clearly and heck I don't want something hanging in my ear the more people know I have aged. I was teasing my adopted mom people will not think your old because the hip thing now us younger people are wearing ear buds in our ears to listen to music so either way does it look like I am old too. We had both laughed and my adopted mom either way I don't want something hanging inside my ears how irritated it will be to have something stuck inside.

I asked Manang V do you also want one ...

One day you find out the problem doesn’t stop and someone begins messing up with you leaving hateful message why you had interfered with their love affair while you had no clue in the beginning you became a part of their mess. Today I decided to make changes and turn the table around make the persons banned from my life and take away something they cannot be a part of and doing this took a lot of research to figure how to accomplish this task in my life. For some reason you didn’t even step foot in their problem but when someone say you made yourself include to their love affair but in reality you only gave your friend an advice to get to know that per...
