The day after my birthday, we received some expatriation box from my Dad. He already told us but were supposed to get it last year. We got all five of them in less than a week.
I got myself TV, some fans and 4 set of radios.most of them are old ones and requires a transformer. The voltage usage here is usually 220 volts but these items are 110 volts.
Anyways they were other items too but too many to mention. I consider this a blessing in disguise.
Hope you had a wonderful week end.

congratulations for receiving your packages in good and unopened conditions. that is an advantage of having stricter president; not everybody can commit a 'crime' unlike the previous administration where the customs were lax and other employees even stel from the boxes from abroad.

Hello @ridingbet we didn't experience that before the end of Aquino's reign but I do feel bad for the other people who lost a lot in their respective boxes.

Did you fold them as well? @brokenbee we usually fold them once all items had been unpacked.

@brokenbee speaking of termites our wooden terrace at the back are infested with them. We hope to demolished it some day.

@Letranknight2015 Not yet. Hihihi! My father might cut them into smaller pieces if he has time because if we store them here, they might be infested with termites like what happened to their old balikbayan boxes before.
