Productive weekend

I would soon have rambutan from my own garden! Photo by CallMeCreation.com

One of the fruit trees in my garden is bearing fruits. Give it a few weeks, we will have rambutan to eat. ❤️

After church this morning, my girls and I went shopping for shoes and some clothes for them as they have again outgrown most of what they have. The small Robinsons mall that we have here offers limited choices so we have to drive to SM Mall of Asia or Makati one weekend before school starts. But at least my girls have better shoes to wear to church or day out with friends as they have outgrown again what they were using two months ago.

Since I had enough time for other chores before I go back to work tomorrow, my girls and I built the Alex drawers from Ikea.

Tomorrow morning I need to bring my car to the autoshop because the oil gasket needs to be replaced. My oil engine is leaking. Good thing I had my car checked after I got back from Bangkok because my gut feel told me something was not right. I thought it was the radiator but the shop owner saw there were streaks of oil at the fan belt. He initially said it might be the clutch fluid but it was already late and there might not be enough time to do it. So I brought it back to them on Saturday to check again and upon closer inspection (after I had the underwash and engine wash to clean up everything), it was the gasket and the oil pan.

Yeah, wear and tear comes with the territory of owning an 18-year-old car. I was the one who drove this car out of the Isuzu showroom in 2005, so it seems like I will be the one running it to the ground.
