March 19-20, 2011
Believe me, this ain't my typical weekend. Weekends prior to our vow to togetherness (there goes the silly word again!) were always spent at home doing DVD marathon etc. Laid-back, slow weekends are the best so when I uploaded these pictures, I suddenly miss the art of doing nothing. But for now, I suddenly miss this native pancit from the north. Oh yes, before we proceed to our home improvement project, we must abide with rule # 1 - eat breakfast!
We had breakfast at the weekend market at the QC Circle early in the morning. I therefore conclude that alarm clock is one of mankind's greatest contributions to productivity.
My first time to eat this pancit...
That's why I took extra effort to take a picture of this...
... and this. Now I know.
Super special pancit batil-patung with chorizo, beef, liver, lechon kawali and egg! Looks and tastes yummy!
Sidekicks: chopped onions & calamansi (soy sauce & vinegar joined the mix later) and the soup (not necessary, IMO)
Just when I was about to give up walking along the entire food section of this weekend market, we found shrimp okoy! This was my favorite circa HS days.
Shrimp okoy for breakfast? Why not?
So crispy and so oily (which translates to unhealthy?)
And that ends our breakfast/food trip. So off to home improvement project we went.

Trying hard to decipher the closest shade to the granite counter top we already had
Then the part where my ear drums almost gave up because of too much noise.
The noisy
the noisier
and the noisiest!
Fiance didn't mind the noise.
So, Toonie & I went outside of the room to escape the noise...
... and celebrate life
while drinking Coke to escape the scorching heat and noise (the reason I stepped out of the room, right?).
Etcetera, etcetera...
Ain't it funny?
Waiting for one whole month ain't funny. But to have the most durable furniture in the land, I wouldn't mind waiting.
Somewhere in Commonwealth
Say hello to the "national" seat!
Too common design. That's why we didn't get this. LOL
