Happy Halloween!

I named him Jack. =)

Grandma left for the Philippines this morning.  Here's a picture of her and Nanang Lumen right before they were escorted to their terminal.

I wish I was going with them.  I want to visit the Philippines soooo bad!!!  I miss my cousins terribly.  ...and I want to watch Wowowee and ASAP live. Haha.

She'll be back in time for Thanksgiving; November 25th.  Hopefully she'll come back with lots of pasalubong.  :-)

...all gone!

Killed the bottle of sauce today at El Pollo Inka.  What can I say?...  We just really love that stuff.  Haha

Dan's new used Car

A '96 Acura SLX.

It was orginally my Uncle Ruben's car. He was looking for someone to take it off his hands, so we said, "why not?" He gave it to us and now it's Dan's new used car.

It still runs well! The bad thing about it is that it's 15/18 miles per gallon. Yikes!

Instant Soon tofu soup

Cool...

Chanel's in a cast

When I came home from work Tuesday night, Chanel wasn't there by the door, wagging her tail and wanting to lick my face. I had a feeling something was wrong because that's very unusual - she's always there before I even open the door. I found her in my room. She was barely wagging her tail and she looked restless. After bringing her to the vet, turns out that her front, left limb is ... its not broken ... okay, so the groove that holds the patella (knee cap) is known not to be deep in a maltese. So, she twisted her leg and... the kneecap dislodged from it. It also doesn't help that she's overweight.

After they bandaged her up, she started wagging her tail. =) They say she should be fine. We have to bring her back in a week to remove her cast. We just have to start her on a strict diet so she can lose weight.

Phillippe's

I was supposed to surprise Mark on Saturday for his bday .. but we can never surprise each other.  Ever since he watched the LA Man vs. Food episode, he kept talking about this place!  Phillippe's is an old school, french-dipped sandwich restaurant.  He loves sauce, so I knew he would love this place.  I figured I can kidnap him Saturday and bring him here ... nope.  He somehow made me spill the beans.  We ended up going today because it fit our schedules better.

He ordered a wet beef and a wet pork sandwich.  I ordered the single dipped beef sandwich and a pickled egg. It was good!

Our meal, with 2 lemonades, cost less than 20 bucks.  Too bad I got a parking ticket for $50. :-( ...next time we won't make that same mistake, hehe
