    LBC Express balikbayan box....

    Just been to the Filipino shop at the bottom of Addleston High Street. Lady in there's from Iloilo. She told me it's all modern since I last went there. Anyway, she gave me a leaflet for LBC Express as I am sending my nephew's kid some baby goo-goo ga-ga stuff, toys and suchlike. Anyone any experiences with sending LBC balikbayan boxes to Cebu or Visayas, good or bad? Feedback welcome, forewarned is forearmed.



    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.

    Can't help... but just wanted to post because we currently have one sitting in our dining room, should be gone by Saturday. Not 100% if it's going to the sisters in Manila, or to the wife's village some 8 hours further away ... all I know is it's costing £150 to send.

    I keep checking every day in case anything of mine ends up in there..... accidentally of course!

    The lady in the store quoted 5'ish weeks. I went shopping for multi-coloured fluorescent kids tops earlier. I want her to blend in, in case her tattoo'd Pinay lola takes her to the disco.

    Why aren't the LBC leaflets just a little more truthful?
