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...
When it is the month to replenish my mom's grocery, she always requests for food she often miss eating. The day gets a bit busy than other days. I end up ordering food online for her since she doesn't know how to do that on her own.
Being the daughter who has access doing all what needs to complete the whole task makes you think harder to make sure her groceries are complete.
Other people think it is easy to do but sometimes it can be a challenge to think together with your mom to find out other food she may want to try rather than repeating her food over and over again.
Lately my mom has been craving for kare kare oxtail from Manam you wonder why the restaurant only place their food in a paper bag with a paper container especially the food being hot after it has been cooked.
I have placed my mom's kare kare with oxtail in a plastic container to make sure it will arrive secure to her.
I am not sure if the restaurants realize how the paper container begins to break apart when you transfer the food in a container.
There are other items my mom would ask me to think hard where I can purchase what her needs when she cannot go out of her home.
My mom sometimes is not patient enough to hold off and wait. I need to explain to her sometimes we need to be patient enough to wait everything will fall into place.
Sometimes items you need and crave are not available on a certain day you can always order another day and have it delivered to her home.
You find out when you're in a rush your mind get stress but not letting other now you can handle the pressure you just remain calm not letting others know what you're going through.
I've learned from myself I can do it slowly and try to feel I am being pressure to do it on my own pace.
