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.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . 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.

We Don't Hold the Time of Our Friends

We can remind our friends what they need to do the next day although it is up to our friends if they follow up on themselves. We don't hold their time they need to decide whether they want to do it or not. Carmina has friends who asked them to remind them what to do with their life being over whelmed in their daily life. They need an alarm to remind them what priorities they need to make time. Sometimes you have friends you remind but they sorry they couldn't go toward doing what they promise they would do for themselves. Carmina feel there is no pressure because it is not for her own well being it is for their friends.  Carmina see it she doesn't hold on to the time with her friend's schedule and if it is not something they see that is important for them to do. It is up to them because reality it has nothing to do on behalf of your friend's priority. You were only asked to remind them what they wanted you to message them before they wake up the next day on their li...
