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

Life Changes After One Year Lockdown

In life our parents put a restriction for us in a way to protect us but when we grow up we try not to limit ourselves we want to look for more than out of life.

One reason being in pandemic made me look for other options to move forward and not think what I cannot do.

Look for other sources to make my blog keep moving each day. 

I've learned to help and message people who I have purchase from to let others recognize what product's they are selling or restaurants we've ordered from it is my way to help people I don't know in way they too can earn an income.

I am grateful and blessed I am not striving of hunger able to still eat what I want to eat.

I have a job the supplement me still able to work at home.

I have friends who recently got hired and asked them how they got the job in order to help my friends who need a push to give them a pathway to the work mode.

We come across friends who say nothing to you but when you give them a direction toward a better life they can consider you as a caring and thoughtful friend.

We tend not to just think of yourself.

You also want your friends to be happy and content to be blessed like you.

I've realize no matter if I cannot go outside being normal it hasn't hold me back to explore in other ways giving you a challenge in life.

I've learned something new from myself that I am able to wake up people who I don't know to let them know my own experiences in life, products I've purchased, restaurants I've ordered to be delivered to my home and give a way to others is something thankful being appreciated for who you are.

I've learn to order items directly to the suppliers to get a discount on items you've purchase online. The greatest advantage you get to help those people as well.

Living at home made me realize what people take life for granted although with all my savings I've learn to extend my earnings to someone else.

Living at home made me realize consider other people needs by giving them a helping hand. I have been helping Manang V whom I often spend most of my time with by learning her cooking and let her learn new recipes.

We learn to help each other by spending time we learn the life she use to live when she was young by stories Manang V has shared with me.

Manang V has changed her phone by upgrading herself not able to have a day off she spends her night talking to her Grandkids and family through video call.

Those who are new and adjusting themselves to the new technology they learn you giving they a helping hand for them to understand how to do it.

The senior have tendency to repeat themselves having the patience with them is the challenge for yourself to see how well you can tolerate their personality.

The senior lack patience they also get intimidation on how life around them are changing and go through their own pace for them to understand each step.

My mom feels if she touches something on her phone she feels that she won't be able to return back to the step how she has made changes.

My mom fear is updating her phone to make new changes she gets frustrated from herself when she doesn't know how to change it back how it use to be.

Even though you've sat down with her to write her own notes my mom fears she cannot do it on her own. My mom prefers me to do it for her. My mom thinks she will break her phone that way by touching what she can't understand.

Every person old or has no knowledge on the technology of new or old gadgets get easily over whelmed by the item of what is on their hand.

They feel at ease when there is someone there to teach them next to them.

Patience is the key being with people who are older than you or people who are clueless how to do it.

I can tolerate people who are like my mom and anyone I know. I have enough tolerance for anyone and seldom get frustrated with it to me it is a challenge to learn something new.

Lately my mom has feeling unwanted not the fact you're neglecting her it is that the family and the friends who are connected to her in her social media are less active to like and write comments on her post.

Kind of hard to explain to my mom not all her family and friends have time or see her feeds they overlap from each other especially if they don't go online when you have recently post it.

My mom wanted me to teach her friend on the phone. I told my mom you're friend might be like you need to be taught next to each other.

If I try to explain on the phone you won't understand. Do you think you're friend will understand what I explain to her?

My mom was quiet not realizing you cannot get the attention you need for them to like what you have recently post.

My mom said why is that my friend can like and comment your blog. I said probably there is no other Facebook Page she is following since I am in a different category she can find me easily.

My reason I have made my mom apart of my personal blog to enjoy making comments and to be able to communicate with her family and friends from pictures I've post through our travel diaries or anything going on with her life.

No matter what we find away to make your parents feel important in another way due to our pandemic.

I have learned to fix items in my room by purchasing my own drill set it doesn't mean it is a man's job. We can do anything if we want to do it.

You learn to be independent on everything you do that is the greatest advantages when the time comes you live on your own. You know you can succeed on your own by learning during your lockdown.

I use to love getting facials done on my face. I've learn to do it on my own by self study and watching videos online.

You tend to experience on beauty products to see what is best for your skin type.

I’ve tried to reach out to people when their parents said they wanted to match their daughter feeling worried they will live alone when they get older.

You go out of your way to help them find someone you feel they would be compatible, but what they don’t realize that their daughter may not feel the same way being ready to start off the dating stage. They feel overwhelmed when everyone in their family is so happy for them when the dating hasn’t even started.

The person you have matched up suddenly becomes untouchable you’ve wonder if you have stepped on the wrong pathway or not considered their own feelings.

You have decided to step down and let that person deal with it. To me it is not a big deal just helping someone who can be my family but not blood related and if the family member see me that way it’s nice to have an extended family to make it bigger.

Who knows the daughter will turn around when she is ready to go on that pathway.

If the guy you've matched up is meant to be they can find their own destiny.

One thing I've learned the most and something I never realize was that I am good at writing sharing stories that comes out from my mind the way no one can express themselves. I've had the opportunity to reach out to people I don't even know who are reading what I am writing.

I've been offered opportunities not leaving my work but to move further than what I didn't know I can fall back too.

Living the way we do gives us a new perspective toward a life we never knew we can do to make changes and challenges we can experience by working with other people who love doing the same thing.

No matter for those who complain about being lockdown they have their own issues and problems to deal with take time to look and analyze yourself see what you can discover in your inner soul may be something you haven't found will bring you directly to the right pathway in your own life.

My tip is to remember always love yourself first than others once you have that courage everything will fall directly how you want to live your life something I have always heard from someone much older than me.

Whatever happens in your life happens for a good reason. 

You have encountered someone old or new to reconnect to them time will only tell when he/she is right for you.

We never lose hope just learn something new on own behalf being lockdown.

How I see it if I was able to manage one year being lockdown I can do it one more year we will learn new things from our own self living the way we do.

Patience is the key of success.

Having the challenge gives the ability to strive to the top where you want to belong without knowing you're already there with no one to prove but yourself.
