Short on cash but love seafood?

Carmina was planning to get a haircut on November 12, 2025, at Headway Salon in Tomas Morato . I called Mom Violy to see if she wanted to have lunch together and let her choose the restaurant. She then asked which seafood restaurant is located in Tomas Morato. Carmina sent the link to Mom Violy it is called,  Dampa Seafood Grill . When we arrived at Dampa Seafood Grill, the music was very loud. Since Mom Violy doesn’t like loud music, she asked if they could turn it down a bit. Upon entering, someone will ask how many are in your party; we told them there were only two of us, and they showed us to our seats. Mom Violy also requested a spot away from the direct blast of the air-conditioning. The restaurant has a policy to read before you place your order.

Zagana Farm to Kitchen

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asking Manang V to include some of my vegetables on her list whenever the kitchen runs out. Every time Carmina notices the kitchen is restocked with vegetables, she asks Manang V about it. Manang V always apologizes, saying she keeps forgetting about my vegetables. Eventually, Carmina got tired of waiting and decided to buy them online through Grab Mart. Sometimes, it just seems easier to do things yourself rather than rely on others. Carmina was looking for camote, broccoli, asparagus, and avocado to have at home. I was able to find it at  Zagana Farm to Kitchen  one shop drop on whatever you need.
