Why a Girl from the Philippines

I don't think you can find toe socks, mittens and thermos in the Philippines. It doesn't get cold that much there unless you go to Baguio. When I arrived here in 2007, I got a care package from my friend in Texas. She sent me those slipper socks, mittens, beanies and bunch of sweaters and long johns. Walmart sells them for a cheaper price. No use shopping in the Philippines for these stuff. It's gonna cost you more if you can find them there.

I did find them at SM San Lazaro and other SM branches, but you have to know where to find them. They even have a store that sells mostly winter clothing, right beside BDO, probably meant for all the people going abroad or going to Baguio or other cold places. Also, it's still cheaper in the Phils, AND it fits me. Last year, I went around several Walmarts, Ross, Targets, etc., looking for more toe-socks but in the rare instances that I did find some, they were just too big. I finally found some on Amazon, and I got them although they were a still a little bigger than my feet. This month, and for this winter, I just got a package of all those winter undies from my sister in Manila, and it was still cheaper even with what we paid for the 10kg box flat rate for Fed Ex.

I have no scientific proof, but believe me, Filipinas are absolute FREAKS in bed.

The "It's so big Steve" is just part of the CFO training. I can't get Judy to stop saying it.

She say's CFO Nun told her to say it every night.

It bugs the ####### outta me. My name Dan!!

I tried to explain that Steve was just a sample name but she won't believe me.
