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. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Welcome Wandering Jew Plant to a New Home



Carmina has adjusted herself in the home she currently lives in. 

Factor is when we begin seeing how we need to make the home air free by adding plants.

Carmina is not a plant person. 

Reality is when the air and construction of the neighborhood is affecting you to get allergies. 

We need to find a solution.

I remember growing up in California. Mom Violy had a lot of house plants inside her home.

Carmina asked Mom Violy if she can help me out find plants. I can put downstairs and upstairs in the house.

Mom Violy said, look for what kind of plants would be good in your home.

Mom Violy had informed Carmina that we can buy the soil. Carmina said, I'd prefer the one that already has a soil. I don't think I have a green thumb. 

I have no clue how to do it. 

Carmina and Mom Violy went shopping at Quezon City Memorial Circle to see what plants to buy.

Every summer we know this the best time to do their gardening in their homes. 

Mom Violy couldn't believe the prices of the indoor plants that she could remember she had in her home.

Mom Violy had a budget how much she wanted to spend prefer 500.00 pesos ($9.09) and below. 

At random Carmina pointed to the ones hanging the person selling said selling price is 150.00 pesos ($2.73) per plant depends on if you want it hanging in a pot.

I asked what type of plant it was said it is the wandering jew. I had no clue what that was had to look it up and find all the information.

Mom Violy asked how many times you water the wandering jew was told every day. 

Mom Violy agreed and said she'll buy two pieces. 

Temporary I placed inside the dining room near a window where the sun is there.
