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.

Two Ways Recipe for Broccoli


How do you cook your broccoli?

I asked my friend how do you cook your broccoli? My friend said, oh I just steam it up and eat it plain or add cheddar cheese.

I decided to cook it somewhere not even close to what Manang V and my friend had told me how they eat their broccoli. 

I figured since I have my own microwave, and it came with a cooking bowl. I had decided to cook mine in the microwave and use only ingredients I have available in my room having my own refrigerator.
