Tired of the new rules, Carmina closed her Google Maps account — what pushed her over the edge?

It’s been months since Carmina last posted on her Google Maps. I started doing it just for fun, exploring new places to dine and travel, and sharing those spots with others. Back in 2017, I wasn’t even blogging yet. Over the years, I received numerous email updates about changes, but in September, the removal of followers on Google Maps felt particularly strange. There’s no point in complaining about it. I decided not to close my account, as it wasn’t an option, but I did delete all the photos I had contributed over the years. I have fond memories of seeing which photos were popular and had hoped to share them with you. It was surprising to see how many views my pictures had accumulated. While deleting them, I noticed that many restaurants and bakeries no longer exist, with some marked as unknown on the map.

Which coffee suits your taste buds?

  Which coffee suits your taste buds? I love to have a variety of coffee in my pantry. There are moments we want to shift to a different flavor. I prefer my coffee sweet most other people like it black, strong, mild, sweet, nutty and milky.  Whatever your preference is there are so many 3n1 coffee packs to choose from not only made in the Philippines. I also drink 3n1 coffee from Indonesia and Malaysia. Why do they call it 3n1?  It has coffee, sugar and cream included in each pack that is why they call it 3n1 this is very popular and less expensive on other people who enjoy drinking coffee. They also have 3n1 for people who want less sugar depending on what type of coffee you prefer on your own taste buds. My favorite is to have hazelnut in my coffee to read more on other brands click the link to direct you there: https://www.carminalifestyle.com/2019/12/coffee-lover.html Note: I am not selling/advertising any 3n1 coffee.
