Presumptuous Musing 1

Been in low spirits this past week - wasn't really up to blogging until yesterday. And still that post was obviously cheerless, to say the least. In an effort to work around this gloom, I'm going to impose some presumptuous music musings today so I apologize in advance. But trying hard to sound like I know a bit about something that I hardly have an idea about -- is going to be fun.

Added the pet shop boys' "rent" to my deezer playlist two weeks ago. Hearing it definitely puts a smile on my face. Who cannot like this line, "I love you, you pay my rent"?!? Loving it. I could do away with the non-sung (?) lines though cos they're too obvious, maybe put there just to fill up the melody with lyrics. I think the non-sung (hey, it's not literally "unsung" so leave the parody alone obviously) lines made it dated (psb's "rent" is from the 80's). Just a shame cos it would've been timeless if it weren't for those parts.

Taking it from just one song, pet shop boys are my fave nasal-singing band of all time! Oh, and forget their "opportunities" - I don't like it one bit. Well, I like one verse from it that I forget right now. Well, I am biased cos I do lean towards less popular songs... oh, this post's title should make up for not explaining myself, haha.

Next on the agenda - It was an utter shame seeing the script's music video of "talk you down". They do make cheesy videos (n.b. there only four, to date) but this one takes the cake. Oh, the humiliation. Why can't they just do it raw and play rather than taking lyrics too literally in their videos. I can see it now... their rising commercial popularity directly lowering my favor for them.

OK, getting off my high horse now...

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. 

December in food pics 2023

  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.
