Happy Christmas!

Spent Christmas day at my aunt's house and here's a fussy photo of their tree.

So here's a usual story -- I ate too much, I was lying on the couch because I was sleepy (from eating too much) for about an hour before we left, and it's now almost 3am post-Christmas day and I'm wide awake. [smile] Our Christmas day feast included potato salad, pancit molo, baby back ribs, steamed fish w/ herbs, grilled fish, roast chicken, chicken estofado rice, and pasta. And there's more that I did not eat like ice cream, fresh lumpia, and fruit salad.

Then here's an unusual story -- We did not celebrate Noche Buena (traditional Christmas eve dinner) and we opened gifts like two hours before Christmas. This left a slight "Bah, humbug!" feeling -- only a slight feeling -- but, yeah, it was there. [frown] Maybe it was that I did not get to eat ham last night like I expected... Oh well. There's still ham in the fridge (I think) and I will have a go at it before this day ends. [grin]

And if it's still Christmas on your part of the world while reading this... HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :D

Gold ring size 6 for ref

Image
A “pawnable” 0.69g 18k Saudi yellow gold ring (photo sent by the Shopee seller). My ring size is 6... in case I forget. Another buyer left a review that when they took it to Cebuana, they received an appraised value of P1,800 or ~50% of the retail price. Gold 18k market value is ~P3,400 per gram as of today (Sept. 11,2024). But for serious assets = gold bars are preferred over jewelry.  Actual ring I received ✨ Pretty small hearts design and stamped Au750 / 6. The diamond cuts make it sparkle. It looks very nice when worn.

Panda Express Everyday Bowl Delivery via Food Panda Panda Express PH:  "Everyday Bowl" 1 Entrée + 1 Side Orange Chicken + Fried Rice =  ₱  239.00  + rider's tip - discount voucher  Panda Express' orange chicken is already full of salty, sweet flavor so this many pieces is good for two if the other person is not very hungry. Bought their "Everyday Bowl" just to try since I was craving fried rice. Usually, I get the "classic plate" with 2 entrees + 1 side of mixed veggies.

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁
