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. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Pranela Pajama

The fact finding the right material how it is made with the right texture making sure the fabric doesn't shrink after you've washed it several times. I only prefer to wear pranela cloth. I like it being soft on your skin and not being thin that you're pajama is not see through makes it prefect to wear when you're in an air-conditioned room.

I was able to find  Majinjooo  Online Shop Shopee Philippines for Pranela Pajama 2XL Plus Size PHP 150.00 ($3.00). There are pockets on the side or back pockets to determine which is the front and back of the pajama pants. Tip: Remember the sizes that are locally made in the Philippines a...

Helping Manang V with the Clothes Pins

Two days ago Manang V had asked if I had any clothes pins to hold on a garment that needed to be hung after being laundry. Manang V felt if she hung it the clothing would fall off hung outside in our backyard. I told Manang V I've already used up all the clothes pins. I decided to purchase some clothing clips in order for Manang V to feel she can use it when she does her laundry again. I was able to find a seller selling for one kilo worth of clothes pins sound great having a lot in handy for Manang V and I. Today the clothes pins had arrived. Manang V gave me her where she has a hanging hanger to hold on her items. I saw it was missing a lot of clothes pins no wonder Manang V was so worried hanging her garments outside. Manang V didn't know how too attach the clothes pins to the hanger she gave me. I had used a thick thread and knot it while I was adding the clothes pins to each area where it was missing. Manang V no longer has to worry hanging garments outside for those who w...
