Wedding gifts

by Stanley, June 25, 2010

My cousin brother is getting married next week. The dinner reception is on Saturday and we’re invited. We have one week to shop for a great wedding gift.

I guess she will have to shop for a wedding gift again this time as I’ll be rushing for a deadline next week.

Moen faucets

June 18, 2010
Moen faucets are really something. The master bedroom toilet uses a Moen showerhead. I had no idea how long it had been installed coz it ain’t my house, I’m just renting it. But from the looks of it, I’d guess it is more than two decades old. I replaced another shower head when I moved [...]
