When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went.

Life at Age 55 in the United States


Did you know in the United States when you reach 55 years old, you're consider a senior citizen?

Carmina realized being one year to become fifty-five years old she can take advantage of the benefits when you're visiting the United States.

Certain stores provide a discount when you shop at their store example in Seafood City Supermarket it is 12% from your purchases on every Tuesday.

Ross Dress for Less Store every Tuesday is 10% off your purchase.

Basically, you can gain a pension from support from the government to apply for low income when you want to start a life living back in the United States if you wanted too without having an income.

Just visiting the United States if your 55 years old has a lot of benefits that some people are not aware of for example the friends I've spoken too.

Did you know you can purchase a house that is for the 55 years and up for Retirement and 55+ Communities? 

Carmina's friends have been informing when you're 55 years old you can consider having your own dream home depending on what your budget is for example here is a link provided by Marijan.

55 Places gives you an opportunity to check the area where you would like to purchase your own home. The best way to find out within your budget is to contact the area where you will consider yourself living by asking for how much are the fees the agent will inform you whether you'll purchase or not. At least you have an idea because you'll have to consider paying additional electricity, utilities, water, cable and so on.

During this time, you'll also be looking for a job because 55 years old is still young and, in the future, you'll also be receiving benefits from your Social Security when you reach 62 years old.

Being a US Citizen there are life benefits where you can consider where you would like to take advantages of the opportunities.
