i'm packed and ready to go & other news
busy, busy day!
so now i'm packed and ready to go ;)
atat ba?
this day was unkind to my spine. i had to pack my door-to-door pasalubong box coz i will be sending it to the phils this week. and since i was on the task of sorting out stuff for that, i decided to sort out stuff that i will put inside my luggage and hand carry bag too.
so as early as 9am, my room was a mess, my bed was full of canned goods, chocolates, clothes, swimsuits, towels, toiletries and australian souvenirs. grabe!
i can't believe that after 14 months, i'll be packing my stuff again...although this time, i'm inspired because i'm going home! iba ang adrenalin kumbaga.
but packing the door-to-door pasalubong box alone almost killed me. ang hirap talaga ng nag-iisa :( other than making sure that the box is secured (had to put packaging tape all over it), lifting stuff from here to there really made my back ache. and the hardest part was closing it tight with more packaging tape. i even had to sit on the box so it would close. obvious ba na pinuno ko at nahirapan akong isara sya? mygulay talaga. i haven't weighed the box yet, but i think, it's roughly 40-45 kilos. nai-imagine nyo ba kung gaano kasakit ang likod ko ngayon?
after getting the pasalubong box done, i worked on my big luggage and hand-carry bag (the ones i'll be using during transit to manila). that meant another round of getting stuff from here to there, figuring out how this and that will fit. i totaled 15 kilos on my big luggage (yay! pwede pa akong bumuli ng additional chocolates) and 2 kilos on my hand-carry bag. so it's all good.
i feel so productive today. now if only my back doesn't hurt i'd really be fine.
on other news:
i was also productive yesterday because i got to buy christmas gifts for some of my relatives here, so yay to me! the next time i go shopping, i'll be able to finish my christmas list already.
happy news:
talked to chris for two hours last night *big big smile* =) it was a fun conversation. we felt like we were in one of our saturday night dates at my place in the phils talking of things that matter to us and some stuff that doesn't. i really really miss the times we'd just talk and cuddle and not worry of anything. really can't wait for this madness to end. i mean, we're enjoying every minute of being the bride and groom in this much-awaited event but sometimes (especially now that time is passing by so quickly) it's becoming too tedious and exhausting that i can't wait for our lives to start already. as in i can't wait. at the end of the day, i just want to hold and love chris...that's all that matters.
something-to-watch-out-for news:
our invites are ready!!!!!! oh well, almost hehehe. we're missing one more thing which is a very tiny (but still important) detail ----that is the map going to the church and reception venue (oh well, our wedding team is working on it at the moment). chris forgot about it but it's okay, we're not in a hurry to invite people hehehe (joke lang). anyway, the invites are all finished!!!!! my mom sent me 9 copies (some to be given to my relatives here) last friday and i can't wait to receive it. so far, from my parents' and coordinator's comment, they love the invites because it's sooo pretty. okay that got me more excited hahaha!
hay naku, gotta rest. my back needs to sleep now (ouch talaga!)...shyet! i'm really getting old haha! good night!
so now i'm packed and ready to go ;)
