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.

American Time



Manang V had informed Carmina that two families will be celebrating Easter with us. The problem the supplier where Manang V order her meat and fish is out of town for the Easter holiday.

Carmina was thinking of ordering food after looking what to order in the Grab application. Carmina was having a hard time figuring what to feed everyone.

Coming down to the point when you have people who always complain what they're eating might as well cook at home with what ingredients you have and purchase the rest online through Grab Mart.

Next day came a day before Easter Sunday Carmina had discuss with Manang V since she had fish that arrived given by someone might as well cook it.

Manang V decided to make it into Escabech Sweet and Sour Lapu Lapu.


Our traditional Sunday's Menu is Kare Kare in which Manang V decided to cook for the family and employees.




Carmina decided to make Lazy Sushi and Kani Salad her specialties for family gathering.



Our soup will be Sabu Sabu where everyone can have something full to eat during this Easter meal.


Manang V said to Carmina your so unbelievable your American time where what you say you actually do it without hesitance. There is action rather other people are procrastinating.

Manang V and Carmina had prepared the food a day ahead to make sure we had all the ingredients in each dish.

We can say we all achieve and our Easter meals were a successful one where we can now rest for the coming week.
