    Nothing wrong with giving a small gift to family or friends. It's better to give than to receive

    The flight you take must have a baggage allowance of say 20-30kg. Did your ex not want to bring additional things for the family?

    She was an excellent wife, wouldn't spend a penny. When I was with her life was perfect and we were very comfortable indeed!

    That's good, I will just bring chocolates and some food that we do not have in Philippines, I want my family and friends to taste the food that I am eating here as well. I will not buy such material things because I have told them how expensive things are here. Then I will buy filipino stuff for my family and colleagues here

    Thank you for all of your advises, big help!

    My nephews flying to Cebu wednesday,i am sure he paid 470 quid.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
