Chicken Curry and Piano-Playing


Slept in earlier so, no breakfast for me. Lunch was chicken curry and no, this wasn't made with coconut milk. For some reason, they've got a simplified version of a recipe. All they use are chicken pieces, potato wedges, ginger, curry powder, salt & black pepper, and evaporated milk -- voila, curry! It's all stewed together, apparently, until the meat is cooked. I think they've also done the same recipe with pork slices... I don't remember but that could work.

Ever since I've bought the Hopes and Fears album by Keane, I've been inspired to learn the song, Bedshaped, on the piano. Now, our instrument has been around for almost two decades so some keys stick and many notes are out of tune because we haven't had it correctly tuned lately. It is much of a challenge, I'm afraid, and my only shot seems to be limited to its intro and nothing else. Oh, and the fact that I am not really a good piano player is also a handicap so... I do what I can.

I've gone through three days of learning the Bedshaped intro (just the right-hand notes) and maybe I can insert some audio here to show how it's coming along. Mind you, I've only had maybe 20 minutes per day on the piano to work with since there are tax reports due next week -- busy time. The piano-playing is a good, relaxing break in between working at the computer and organizing documents. As long as I'm "inspired" I thought I'd take a crack at it.

Gold ring size 6 for ref

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.

  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 😁 

Panda Express Everyday Bowl PH

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.
