Today - July 29, 2005

It's my flex day, no work for me!

I had a lot of stuff in line to do for the weekend and might as well start Friday. I know I still wouldnt be able to finish it up. At least I tried.

Yesterday, I sent another package (Balikbayan Box) to the Philippines thru my friends Sancha and Toto Pascual. I was their first customer. From Dallas to Mindanao(where I'm from), it cost $95. It was cheaper than last week, which cost me $115 with New Manila.

Balikbayan box is a box where we place all the goodies or what have you and send it to the Philippines. From Dallas, it takes about 45 days to 60 days to reach Mindanao destination.

I had to open a lot of boxes and look for stuff to send, and so our house was a mess with everything everywhere. It looked like a tornado passed by it. So today (Friday), I had to start putting it back to its places.

The word for today is Balikbayan Boxes... click to see the link about Balikbayan and Balikbayan boxes and the comparison of the prices in sending or mailing stuff to the Philippines.
