Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff. More customers kept arriving and placing their orders, and we couldn’t help but glance at their dishes, curious about what ...

Mom Violy's Experience Riding an L300 for the First Time

One week ago, Uncle Danny called up Mom Violy to inform her sister that she needed someone to drop him at the airport. Mom Violy realized her car was coding on a Thursday and asked her friend Sonny if he was able to drive his L300. Sonny said, he was available being off on that day from work. Mom Violy had informed Carmina if she can come along with her. I said yes than began thinking a concept how I can use it for my blog. I came up with the theme riding a school bus because in the Philippines people use an L300 for private school services. Other private company uses it a source of transportation for their employees or for delivery purpose. I had no problem riding in an L300. I've ridden on it in the past. Yet, for Mom Violy it was her first time. She had no clue it is difficult for seniors to climb up riding in the front near the driver. Seniors you need to assist them to climbing up. There are handles to hold on from the side. Mom Violy had no clue riding in the back it is easy ...

Who do you give your unwanted stuff?

I am sure we have friends who are having a difficult living those who live alone or have no source of family around them. Yet we are the lucky ones who can give what we no longer need by giving to someone else. Carmina looked at her belonging checking what she can give away to Becky. 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 asked Becky if she wanted it for her personal use.  I remembered Becky informing her that her phone is dying, and she needs a power bank. 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 sin...
