When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice. A family member chose sisig with garlic rice. Carmina enjoyed her meal with Mom Violy and particularly liked the  lumpiang hubad , though she kept wondering why it had no wrapper.

My Review on Chi Em Gai Vietnamese Restaurant

I don't normally complain about how a certain food taste like but sometimes we need to let people know before they decide to taste it for themselves. I have been eating Authentic Vietnamese sandwich for a very long time. I know what it should have by the ingredients made in a Banh Mi.

My parents had owned a Subway Sandwich Franchise when I was living in California. I had worked there for eight years based on my experience being an Sandwich Artist gave me the knowledge of how our sandwich should tas...

Tips Prevention Wetting Your Bed for Any Age

Long time ago when my nieces we're young their parents had used Diaper Changing Mat made of rubber mat place underneath their babies to the years being in diaper. It would prevent not to wet the bed or changing area to change the diapers of their child. I have female friends use it when they have heavy menstruations a way to prevent their bed sheets to get a stain. It is easy to clean the diaper changing pad with soap and water by hand. Just the other day my family member asked how she can prevent her husband's bed from getting wet due he is using adult diapers. I had mentioned to her to use the diaper changing mat made of rubber. The best part now it comes in a much bigger size not how it use to be the golden days when my niece we're once young. Colors available from some seller are pink, blue, green and yellow. The standard color was pink and blue being reversible. Sample on the size on the diaper changing mat made of rubber mat example from  Brentskisarisari  Online Shop...
