ack! boxes, boxes and more boxes. i've been going thru my closet for the last few days. it's not enough that i took out 32.5% of my closet and handed it over to buffalo exchange and goodwill. curtis says i can't take everything that's left. somehow i have to fit what i own into 2 balikbayan boxes. phooey! --- for my non-flip friends, a balikbayan box is a standard size box that filipinos use to haul all kinds of goodies back to the motherland. it's very TSA and FAA compliant.
well, with renewed vigor i thought i would show curtis that i'm more than capable of flashing fashion with a limited closet. i set my goal for 1.5 boxes... i got close. after 3 passes thru what was left of my closet, i selected 40% of what i had left (because i'm a math nerd, i worked out that it was 27% of my original closet). i got it to fit in 1.75 boxes. now i just need to go thru my shoe closet and hope to god that i don't exceed the 50lb per box limit.

Are you there yet???
ReplyDeleteit was a valiant effort love but we still had to pay an extra 150 for going over... by a whole box... good thing i love you xoxo!
ReplyDeleteHahah that's hilarious! I remember going to PI and I was one of the only ones who had a balikbayan box ;P. Oh and when I got married in PI 5 years ago, 30 of my relatives went to PI.. they had to rent a UHAUL to bring all the boxes to Los Angeles Airport (LAX) Can you just imagine everyone's expression when they saw they uhaul at LAX!? good times.. good times hehee
