Mom Violy's Birthday Lunch at Mamou, Gateway 2

Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try  Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2.

First, I remembered Becky needed a wall calendar that she can note down her reminders. Mom Violy had given it to me last year when she had purchased some medication.  Becky was the first person who had asked if I had a spare calendar to give to her.  I saw an alcohol spray bottle that was lingering inside our sink cabinet.

I was able to charge it since it is not compatible with my phone. I decided to give it to Becky. Becky had informed me that her girdle I had given to her the past no longer fits because it had stretched out. Or what we call overused since she only ha
