It's a little unclear who said what to whom here, but this is a perfect
example of why it's important to actually understand what you're doing
instead of following a recipe.  So instead of just giving the solution,
answer the following questions and we'll start from there:

1 - What is the purpose of putting a "small" capacitor, like 100nF to 1uF
accross the power pins of a PIC?

2 - What is the purpose of putting a "large" capacitor, like 10uF, accross
the power of a PIC?

3 - What characteristics do ceramic and electrolytic capacitors have that
make them suitable or not for each of the above roles?
