Moving...
July 2009
" I don't have a lot of stuff. most of the tuff here are my sister's and a lot have been damaged by the hurricane."
"Ok, so let's list them so i can give you an estimate."
"One full sized bed, a wooden dining table with 4 chairs, i also have another dining table with 6 chairs and a sectional sofa with a big ottoman and a large single swivel couch, all of which are still in the furniture store. Need to be picked up on moving day."
" ok. how about appliances? TV? Fridge?"
" I don't have any but I'm moving my car too."
" Boxes? Do you need us to pack for you?"
" No worries. I already have them in plastic rubbermaid boxes. i have 10 boxes full of clothes and a couple full of books."
" That's it?"
" yup, how much?"
"(punching computer keys) that brings us to $3,400.00."
" Ok. Thank you."

So there, Everything taken care of.

I thought everything was alright until my Mom and Dad arrived from the Philippines and started to help me pack.
Mom: Ay, di mo ito dadalhin? Sayang anak, dalhin natin. Eto? dalhin natin. Ay ito pa, Dad! pakilagay sa box eto...
Dad: Gusto ko to, iuwi ko sa Pilipinas, dalhin natin ito. Pede ipamigay. Ilagay sa box. madaming nangangailangan...
blah blah blah blah.

"(talkin to the moving lady on the phone)...How many boxes did i tell you i was moving? Ten? oh, scrap that...make that 27 boxes. with a flat screen TV and a large microwave oven."

bawal ang mag aksaya, pag ayaw na ang isang bagay, pwede pa mapakinabangan ng iba.
