A and I survived a full Sunday today. After the 8:00 AM mass we drove straight to Ortigas Home Depot to get a can of paint and to check ceiling lights for our bedroom (as you can see, what was originally only a kitchen renovation is now slowly expanding to other parts of our little home--we're still smiling), and then beat the madding crowd to Megamall to buy a new bed for our helper, Laarnie, ladder for the kitchen, range hood, and curtain rods. Then we drove to Serendra at the Fort to check the SMEG showroom. One can see in the picture above one happy customer, imagining how the oven we chose would fit in our kitchen and, more important, how many happy years of cooking and breadmaking it will give us.
But then the happy face turned a bit serious as soon as the saleslady told us how much the oven cost:
We tried to regain our composure, and thought of happy thoughts, and looked at all those very pretty refrigerators:
After whetting our appetites at the SMEG showroom, we drove to our last stop, Wilcon Builder's Depot along C-5 in Libis, to get more paint, switches, bulbs and wires. Our purchases entitled us to tickets to a car raffle (a very nice Montero Sport at stake--should we win it, we will have to sell it, as it is too big for our needs, and use the money instead for the next renovation).
