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.

Bagels from Midnight Bakers

Carmina grew up eating bagels when she grew up living in California. Carmina has a sister who use to own Big Apple Bagel Store. Carmina's sister use to give her the day old bagels that didn't sell. We always place it in the freezer and warm it when we felt like eating it the next day. Carmina has been missing her bagels and was able to find it during her transaction from Midnight Bakers. The bagels are affordable having six pieces per order for PHP 180.00 ($3.60). The texture of the bagel reminds me of a croissant soft and moist with the taste of sour dough bread. It is quite unique being a bagel and sesame seeds on top. Bagel can be made for any type of meal on breakfast, lunch or dinner. To make your own purchase there is two ways to do it from  Midnight Bakers Lazada Philippines  or  Facebook Midnight Bakers  to check their menu. Carmina is looking forward on her next transaction. She has been eyeing on their chicken pot pie another favorite American dish. NOTE: C...

Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf from Midnight Bakers

Years ago Mom Violy and Carmina use to go shopping in Tutuban Shopping Mall located in Binodo Philippines. There was no issue of covid-19. There use to have a bakery that sold the same Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf that was wrapped up in a store. The owner was Chinese that I use to be able to talk too they didn't bake the bread at the store. They had a bakery outside and were sent their baked goods at the store. Carmina always made sure to visit that bakery before she had done her shopping with Mom Violy. The store had closed down. After seeing the Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf from Midnight Baker gave back memories where I have seen it Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf is soft when it had arrived. I couldn't slice it since it was newly baked. You can see all the toppings on the bread. Bacon Ham Cheese Loaf is sold for PHP 280.00 ($5.60) not including shipping and handling fees. You can place your order two ways from  Midnight Bakers Lazada Philippines  or  Facebook Midnight Bakers  eithe...

Carmina threw a Bulleye from Midnight Bakers in the Philippines

Carmina threw an arrow and went and hit a bullseye with loads of bacon, ham and cheese. You feel you want to fill up your home with variety bread is to place it somewhere you've never purchase. Carmina was looking for bread to eat a complete meal that has everything inside to fill you up. The best thing  Midnight Bakers  has a lot of variety of bread that gave Carmina an opportunity to try it herself. Bulleye PHP 350.00 ($7.00) Bulleye has the same Filipino texture of being moist when you eat an ensaymada only difference there is ham and bacon inside making it a sandwich just being sliced to place on a plate.  It is soft with the butter taste on the bread. It had arrived at my home the bread was still warm newly baked from Midnight Bakers. You will need to pay delivery fee from the seller itself during the process of ordering online. Carmina had placed her last night and received it just in time for merienda (snack) in the Philippines. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or...
