By now, my brother's plane has already taken off... he's on his way back to Papua New Guinea for work. After a month of vacation, he is now ready to face another year away from us.

He got home on May 2. Like any other 'balikbayan' he has tons of 'pasalubongs' for us. He brought things from wines, chocolates, clothes and cellphones. He also has a mini note which he would have given to me but I refused. I just asked that he let me choose from the several  laptop deals available in the market. I refused the mini note because it was too small for me. If he has given it to me a year ago, I would have accepted it with glee :p Now when I finally saw one and worked on one, I wished for a bigger and more convenient unit. I prefer the regular laptop because of the screen size and the features.
