Balikbayan box

[stevewool]

It’s here , arrived last night at the house and now I am sitting here back at the apartment with a soggy teabag resting in the spoon while I can see a nice brown cup of tea in my new mug I have just brought, sorry can’t be arse with a China cup.

The box looks just like the way it was when it was loaded in the van the only difference was 4 pieces of bale wire around it, Our apartment looks like a shelf from Aldi, oats ,Pringles, wine gums, Midget Gems, Haribo  and tubes of vitamin C , the biscuits and chocolates are still at the house, plus Peanut butter and chocolate spread and presents for everyone .

All I need now is a teapot , I wonder where I can get one of those.

The balikbayon boxes used to be a big thing. Not so much anymore. Spam is here. Don't need to send it.

Tea is more refreshing, like a cold beer. Coffee is okay for the morning wake me up.

And we won! (joking, HK...) But it has turned out well for us all, don't you think?

Just add some Tanduay to your tea, coffee or cola...? Then we all win!!
