Bullets and Switch

◙ Enduring the hottest, muggiest summer in my lifetime -- so far.

◙ Had a picture ready to post last week, never got around to putting it up. Now I feel it's irrelevant.

◙ What a difference a tiny spiral energy-efficient daylight lightbulb makes! My once "lousy at illumination" lamp isn't so bad at illuminating anymore.

◙ Lamp backstory:

Bulb burned out some weeks ago. Replaced it with a spiral daylight lightbulb. All was good (for about a minute) until the lamp switch acted up - it was already loose and was held together with tape for years.

Took it to the shop. Shop said it would take a while 'cause they'd have to take the whole wiring out and put in a new one.

Two weeks later (after holy week), shop said they couldn't find new wiring with a switch that's why it's taking so long. Asked them to cut the bad switch out and tape ends together - I don't care about the switch, the lamp's put on a high shelf and the only way I turn it on and off is by plugging and unplugging it from a power strip anyway.

That same afternoon, lamp's done and it's working fine! Thank you, friendly neighbor repair shop!

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.
