My brother is a relic of the 1970s and 1980s wherein the best souvenir from the USA is a can of SPAM, a bar of Dove soap or bottle of Jergens lotion. I almost choked laughing when my brother asked me if I wanted a box SPAM when he comes home to Manila from New Jersey in less than two weeks. I told my brother that the luncheon meat is available here in Manila at 93PHP. Bro was surprised for the said that the famous luncheon meat is $3 per can. Well then, I told him the I'd buy him a box for him to take back home in NJ.
He asked me what else I need. I thought long and hard as I have already made a list. The thing is I am not sure if he already bought any item from my list! So, I one again rattled off what was in my previous list and added another item - eye cream. I told bro to please buy all the best eye creams that he could lay his hands on as my eye bags are starting to get pretty obvious. My eye bags are starting to bother me - aesthetically speaking. I am not ready for surgical eye bag removal though. I will try out the eye cream first.
Oo nga...mas mahal ang spam at corned beef dito kumpara dyan. My sister asked me to put some in the box I just sent but I told her I'll give her the money na lang to buy it there...hehehe.
