I looked forward to my appointment this morning. At Spencer’s office, he was fretting that the computer is not working. I told him my next appointment is not till noon so he can relax. As soon as he relaxed, technology worked for him.
I then had lunch with my daughter who treated me. I love it when my children buy my meals. Not only did she buy me lunch, she bought our salad dinner, too. What a blessing to feel the generosity of my daughter.
“Mom, I can buy you coffee, too, she offered.
I declined as she’s working and besides, Nespresso is waiting for me. “You have a Nespresso, Mom? That’s expensive.” It is and your dad got it for me. Not flaunting, just sharing the family love I am receiving.
Later, I rode an Uber to meet up with Thea, a lifestyle enterpreneur of good health, supplements that work to activate the healing qualities of your body, a zumba dance instructor, and a health and wellness professional for an HMO. She asked me to share the positive benefits I found taking Lifevantage and comparing it with the external Korean skin care products and the Yoli products. I shared my truth with her. About 15 minutes of sharing with Christian videotaping in support of Thea.
I had a beautiful conversation with my first Uber driver, Araceli, who works for a periodontist 3 days a week and 2 days as an Uber driver. We conversed about life and her family value of raising her two daughters to pursue what they love, not the dollars. They are happy and look forward to work each day.
On the way home, I had another great encounter with an Uber driver, Jose Luis Cedillo, a substitute teacher, a playwright and a theater director, Thea’s treat.
When I mentioned the name of Jon Lawrence Rivera he said he knows him as Playwrights Arena and mentioned Latino Theater Centre. We spoke about politics and forecasted a win for the Democrats. Imagine that! But we must all watch to make sure no cheating happens.
As I exited, he asked me to write a line to him, which I did: kind, creative, and friendly.
What a day of goodness as my daughter treated me for lunch and dinner; while Thea Fernandez Martinez and Christian Martinez treated me to Taiwanese dimsum and Dan Dan noodles.
Thank you Lord for all these moments of goodness, unplanned and unsolicited generosity, and kindness! Maraming Salamat po!
I asked for a date. We were supposed to go to the beach yesterday. But, when he was ready after watching the Olympics, I was taking a nap. The heat got to me.
So this morning, I repeated my ask. He said, “can I meet you there?” He biked to the Farmer’s Market and I got to buy my fresh produce. We shared a croissant and had our coffees.
This father and daughter duo got us listening for awhile. They were really good. Then, this selfie and hubby gave me his caption to this selfie.
My granola station found a new use, #maharlika2023la‘s dance stage. He is favoring my granola over the banana. What a messy house we have right now, yet full of exploration, handprints, crumbs and toys all over. My 81yo husband said he is now entering his second childhood so he can litter and play as he wish with such joy! #priceless

Manila Sunset in LA is back, too with a bigger place, now quickly overwhelmed by returning customers.
I also interviewed Chefs Jo Quiambao Dijamco who opened La Bella Pinseria Romana, 1917 Restaurant in San Antonio Winery and Trattoria Daily; and Chef Natalia Moran who opened Manila Inasal.
I also have to renew my palates’ cravings for Purple Yam – Brooklyn and visit Michelin-starred Kasama Restaurant in Chicago.
at the Farmer’s Market.
