After 2 weeks, the bathroom sink's faucet is finally fixed. Well, it was taken out and they put in a new fixture. Hurrah! Thank you, jack of all trades! I wonder how much a faucet costs, a thousand or two (pesos)? It was strange how the old faucet gave out at the worst time, just when you need everything working properly. I was half expecting the a/c to conk out then too, thank goodness that didn't happen.

Dinner at Le Garden restaurant in Carmona, Cavite. Carving/preparing the Peking duck, here... Here's the rest of our grub for that evening. The crispy duck skin was wrapped with sauce and veggies. That's it, in this shot at 3 o'clock. The duck meat was chopped, cooked more and was served minutes later with a side of iceberg lettuce leaves (for lettuce wraps, sorry, no picture). The service was wonderful. The food was good too except for the Angus beef with garlic. My faves were the fried rice (yang chow?), wrapped duck skin and broccoli with garlic. That broccoli was surprisingly tasty and not at all overcooked - very good! I left that table quite full. Nice evening, nice dinner. I liked it.

Wait, it stopped raining. It rained yesterday (Sunday) and it went on until... Just now. I hope it doesn't rain today because some lovely peeps are supposed to come over. Broken, broken, broken: a fridge, a tv - and just the other day - a faucet. Timing sucks cuz we have guests. I don't mind the broken tv or fridge (don't watch tv much & there's still a working fridge in the house though it's inconvenient to get to) but the bathroom faucet -- no! That one has to be worked on, fixed, replaced ASAP!

i smell like puppy. cuddled our almost-3-week-old pup earlier. too cute. i said i'd smother him with affection as long as he's this small (when i could still hold him). i still don't know how to pronounce his name. my toddler niece decided to give him a rather uncommon one. we asked her to name the pup and told her it was a boy. i think she blurted out the first boy name that popped in her head. after a quick inquiry, we found out it was the same name as one of her friends from school. all right then - too funny!
