dubai or not dubai...

if you are reading this before january 3, 2006 (thinking 'I wonder how rix and her camel named sherman are doing in dubai?'), wonder no more....I'm still here in the philippines!!! (and you're thinking 'HUWAT??? THAT CAN'T BE...I gave her a despedida gift before dec 15.... even joined her despedida party and early noche buena on dec 24....texted her good bye on the 28th....what kind of a scam....')

3 Different Departure Dates.

3 chances to unpack and repack. 3 chances to receive more gifts. 3 chances to say hi and good bye to friends and family. 3 chances to shop some more to stuff the already exploding luggages. 3 chances to get everyone in the house excited and ready to drive you to the airport. 3 chances to realize what else you can bring from the list of 'THINGS TO LEAVE BEHIND'. 3 chances to decide on buying bigger luggages. 3 chances to remeber something you alsmost forgot to bring. 3 chances to handle mixed emotions of excitement, nervousness, joy, and sadness. 3 chances to spend more time with your family. 3 chances to go out of your mind.

I am now set on my 4th departure date: January 3, 2006
mark it on your calendars. just make sure that the marker you use has alot of ink, in case you need to mark another date.

so hurry, while you still have time, forward the gifts you-thought-you-couldn't-give-me-coz-i-left-already to my ate's house in merville. set dates with me before my schedule gets booked again...hehehe...

i'm glad i'm still here...gives me more chances to do lots more things before i leave...
