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. Most of my photos were from the pandemic period, a time when I could fully express myself and write about the food I enjoyed. Let's take a trip down memory lane with Carmina th...

Tip: How can someone retrieve back after being promoted being 6 days restricted?

A question came in one of my conversations when I was tagged in a promotion of Carmina Lifestyle . The person said it has been two weeks until they saw my comment in their post. My answer was that when someone like me who is active become often session expired.  One week ago, I was six days session expired. I wasn't allowed to Like or Follow anyone. It was frustrating yet I had wait patiently. How does someone come back to the feeds that overlap each time when receiving a notification? My answer was that I would always make a comment that Thank you for being sharing! I am session expired. I'll come back when allowed. Letting the person who has promoted Carmina Lifestyle I will return back to them. Whomever who is among the people also tagged to the promotion will react and make a comment the notification will come back to me. It would return and remind me I need to come back to that person.

Do you know your blood type?

Carmina has been wanting to get her laboratory done to make sure we don't have any illness. Due to our family history we want to make sure our health and how we eat is in good hands. I was informed by someone that adding 200.00 pesos we can find what is our blood type. Those who are a senior citizen and PWD card can get a discount from the laboratory they end up going too. I didn't know that there is a card given once the results come out. It will have your full name, address, birthdate and Blood Group and RH Factor. Carmina also asked Mom Violy to get her blood type it turned out well. We are the same Blood Group O and RH Factor Positive. Just in case there is an emergency we can donate our blood. Life and accident are unexpected might as well be prepared when the time comes. NOTE: Carmina is not selling or advertising for health services at Asiatic Medical Laboratories, Inc.

New Milkana Creamy Lollipop Fruit Heart Strawberry Yogurt

Carmina has seen New Milkana Creamy Lollipop Fruit Heart Strawberry Yogurt in the grocery store. The price being around 129.00 pesos ($2.40) seemed expensive since there are only four pieces inside one package. Carmina saw it on sale at the Robinsons Magnolia yesterday having two packages taped together. I took that chance to try the strawberry flavor that was the only one on sale. They are bite size yogurt that is fully wrapped up inside the package. The stick are blue animal sticks that can be used by just washing it with soap and water. Ingredients of Milkana Creamy Lollipop Fruit Heart Strawberry Yogurt Carmina's Review: It is not sweet. It does taste like strawberry and there is filling inside when you bite shown on the package.

Did you know there is Sweet Potato, Sweet Corn and Pumpkin Sitsaron?

  Carmina went to a haul of healthy snacks. Did you know there is Sweet Potato, Sweet Corn and Pumpkin Sitsaron?  Those who are health conscious can eat something similar to pork fried skins. Only difference these are made from vegetables from sweet potato known to be kamote in Tagalog. Or pumpkin is kalabasa both my favorite. Mister Kamote Crackling by Vegetari Healthy Bites is what I had liked the best. I gave the others away. Manang V liked the Mang Kalabasa Cracklings by Vegetari Healthy Bites. Manang V was too excited when I handed the Mang Kalabasa Crackling. She had no clue it was already opened since I've had tried one piece. Manang V took a pair of scissors. I had informed it was in a zip lock packaging. I had opened it up for her. Carmina remembers Becky was craving for sitsaron. I made her a bag of Sweet Corn Crackings by Vegetari. Becky's overall review is better giving a rate of 5 for the taste. Becky recommended for kids being a healthy snack. Carmina had purchas...
