Protect yourself and your loved ones - get vaccinated!

Carmina went to do her two weeks grocery on March 25, 2025, at Landers Balintawak branch. Upon entering the store near the pharmacy there was a sign posted saying to register for vaccines that will be held on April 12, 2025. Carmina called up Becky asking if she is interested remembered to look out for the flu shot. Becky said yes and asked her to give me full name, birthdate and phone number contact information. Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide.  Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation.

Carmina's Review on Soft Bites Carrot Loaf with Walnut

The time I had purchased the Soft Bites from the nearest 7 Eleven near our home there was too many people. I really didn't check when the Soft Bites what the expiration date was. I don't think one day expiration will do any harm if you have eaten it. Those who love to eat carrot, walnut and want something sweet to eat will surely enjoy it. The price of the Soft Bites Carrot Loaf is 250.00 pesos ($4.55). I was also able to try  Soft Bites Banana Loaf with Real Banana, Chocolate and Walnut . If you asked me which one, I prefer the most I'd say the Banana Loaf since I have never seen a big banana inside a loaf before loaded with chocolate.

Carmina's Special Wonton Recipe

Carmina wanted to make her own home-made wonton, but it turns out to be the same lumpia shanghai recipe of Manang V. Only difference my ingredients I added became my own special recipe. The green onion I had growing in my window used some of it cutting the tips. I also purchased half kilo fresh shrimp known to use for tempura at Farmers Market. I couldn't believe the prices of food now realizing I use to live someone's home not fully paying my groceries. Now, I can relate to my family and friends who has always complained about the expenses they have weekly on food. We learn to start budget what we can only afford. One reason I wanted to make my own dumplings having it stocked up in my freezer. Those days I wanted to just eat soup or fried wanton I can just cook it at home.
