Balikbayan Box

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sent, finally!

Yep, I already shipped my balikbayan box after weeks of letting it sit on the foyer because I couldn't decide what I should put in it. I had no plans of sending a 20"x17"x23" box back home but I did...and it all started because of a digital camera I was requested to purchase here by a niece. As it happened, the camera was only the first of the many things I had to shop for online. Most of my spare time the past few weeks was spent looking for deals on lotions, colognes, hip hop clothing, pounds of chocolates and a million other things so I could send that humongous box to its final destination.

Honestly, it wasn't fun doing that [scouting the web for some things I can buy]. It's not because I had to spend money to do that but it's taxing to buy stuff for people I have not seen in almost 10 years. My nephews and nieces were just little ones when I left. Most of them are now teenagers, young adults and I have no clue what they're into so that makes it really hard for me to decide what to get them. But I was able to do it. If given a choice, I would rather send them the money and let them buy what they want. Oh well...if they don't like what I sent them, they can always give them to those who want them. Ouch!
