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...

Just Like the Young Ones the Seniors Think the Same


Just Like the Young Ones the Seniors Think the Same

Some people think a senior shouldn't be thinking of purchasing an investment when it comes by a property for them.

People believe the negativity that a senior shouldn't invest on a property because to them it is a waste of time and they won't appreciate it.

Yes, Carmina did question Mom Violy why she wanted to invest in a property during our pandemic time. Mom Violy said it is not just for me. It is also for you when the time comes when I am not around. At least you have somewhere to live and the value of the property will value more on how much I had purchased.

Mom Violy felt being all alone she was thinking ahead of herself.

Being at home makes you think of your future and what dreams you have ahead of your own self. My Violy lives in a condominium which is difficult having someone living below and above you. The noise you complain and being a senior you become sensitive in all the noise your neighbor makes.

Even if the property has no home yet it gives Mom Violy a future and an excitement feeling inside to live to have a house built the way you want it.

You think about it in every person has a dream and in order to push forward is to do what you feel best for yourself.

You have the money people say yes it is easy to say and do.

In reality people save their money for a reason and to those people unbelievable until they see it is real.

How do you purchase a property during our pandemic? 

Mom Violy went through her contacts of friends who had referred to Real Estate Broker that are legal. Carmina's sister went to look at her contacts for a lawyer to make sure the property was clear with no frauds.

We always want to make sure everything is legal when dealing a property in the Philippines or anywhere.

Mom Violy has ideas in her head how she wants her future home to look until that process comes Carmina will do a vlog to capture it all.
