When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice. A family member chose sisig with garlic rice. Carmina enjoyed her meal with Mom Violy and particularly liked the  lumpiang hubad , though she kept wondering why it had no wrapper.

Carmina Giving Pointers to Ruel How to Take Pictures and Video on Selfie Monopod

Carmina went to visit Ruel at his work. Mom Violy had informed me she wanted to get a haircut.

Carmina had messaged Ruel ahead of time to see if he was on duty at Hairliners inside Ali Mall Shopping Center in Cubao, Quezon City.

Ruel said he will be available.

Carmina wanted to get a facial although Nerie was on her day off.

Carmina gave some pointers to Ruel how to take a video when being a digital creator. 

Every time I see Ruel's reels he doesn't talk and to me I find it boring. Ruel has told Carmina many times he will try and laughs afterwards. I know Ruel is not serious.

Carmina gave Ruel a selfie monopod something he can use while taking a video of himself and the location.

After handing the selfie monopod Ruel said, what is this not knowing how to use it and explain no problem I can teach you.

Even though Ruel was busy with customers attending to their needs. Ruel hands in his phone for Carmina to link the Bluetooth to his phone. The only thing Ruel has to do turn on his Bluetooth on his phone and press the on and off button on the selfie monopod remote control. 

Ruel had time for Carmina to teach him how to use the monopod handing it to him so he can practice using it. Ruel was very happy thanking me many times. 

Ruel asked how he can increase his followers in his Facebook. I said simple entertain your viewers by talking to them. Try not to use any music because no one will know what is going on when you take a video.

Ruel inform Carmina I am getting confused you have too many posts in Facebook. I said, that is another tip you need to be consistent posting therefore your viewers have to something to see in your page.

I also informed Ruel Meta also gives you challenges every week, and you have to make sure you've have completed the task.

Basically, you have a challenge to build yourself to your audience gives you a chance to explore.
