Pack-Woman

Yesterday my friend Miri gave me the sweetest little gift. A box filled with goodies in pink. I wish that was all I needed. But alas, gifts do need to made and a variety clothes are to be worn.

As you can see in the picture right there is a lot of stuff. Please note: they are not mine - they are presents. By now the entire chocolate row has been reduced from 8 kg to 3 kg. The remaining chocolate will be sent via Balikbayan box when the time comes.

(A Balikbayan box, is a large cardboard box, that once in a while gets filled to the brim with shoes and chocolate.  Fillings vary from family to family. The filled box is sent via sea fare to the Philippines. I would love to see the anticipation and excitement of opening a box.)


I have some big trips planned to Cebu, Davao and Baguio, apart from that I will

• listen to the largest bamboo organ
• visit Corrigedor
• watch the famous Easter processions 

I have set myself some additional challenges for the 6 weeks I am there:

1. stick to my ww-points
2. daily dose of yoga
3. eat healthy
4. read as many Jane Austen novels as possible. I am starting with Emma. As my Dad so kindly pointed out, Emma herself had a list of books she wanted to read, but never got to reading any. Talk about contemporary!
5. listen to commercial pop music to clean my palette and to stop being such a snob

 I can't believe I am flying tomorrow and I am scared I forgot something.

Will keep everyone updated and take lots of pics.
