paksilog, eye clinic

paksilog

paksiw-sinangag-itlog from last week. soooo good!

new specs prescription
i went to the eye clinic thursday afternoon. had eyes examined and picked out a frame for my new eyeglasses. everyone was so nice and helpful.

so my current prescription is... wow! big numbers! my eyesight is worse! no wonder i'm having trouble with the glasses i have now {it is over 4 years old naman kasi}.

at the end of the eye exam, i had the bulky metal frame on with the lenses sticking out and i was happy that i could see the tiny letters in front of me clearly. then the optometrist took it off and asked me to put my old specs on... the difference was massive! i wanted the bulky metal frame back! LOL

frame
the new frame is...

it's not as big as i wanted. it's the same rectangle that most people wear but the clear plastic back was a little different so i went for it. and it was the only one i liked from their cheapest frames.

pretty penny
prices were... high {frames start at 2500php} but i expected it. the last time i was there {almost a decade ago}, the eye exam + new prescription eyeglasses cost me over 2800php; designer frames net of 20% discount na yun. this time, i asked for a discount and they took 400php off the total so this one will cost me 4700php. nyek! baba kasi ng discount 'tas taas pa ng grado ko eh. maybe i should've picked a last season, designer frame like last time?

if only
months ago, i talked to someone about getting new specs. they suggested i go to quiapo for this so I'll spend less. oh if only i could, i would!

excited
will pick up the new prescription eyeglasses this week. can't wait!

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.
