The balikbayan box sits in the corner of your room,
empty and open.
Week after week, paycheck after paycheck, you leaf through
newspapers and catalogs looking for good buys, and items on
sale. Driving from one mall to the next, using most of your
available time, painstakingly selecting gifts to send home.
Months pass by and you realize that the box is almost full
with all the gifts you have bought. |
