What's in My Bag?


I finally gave my big mama bag a break. I took time yesterday to clear and clean it. Actually, it was slowly getting to heavy for me. So, I decided to check why. I remember that I bought it in Manila last year (I love Philippine products!).

It took a few minutes of picking and shaking before the said bag was empty. And here are the reasons why:

4 packs of wet tissues (including one from our last year's visit to the Emerald Garden in Ermita)
5 pieces restaurant napkins
1 piece of sanitary pad
1 pack of face blotter (the last time I used this was during my Bangkok working days)
1 small box of band aid
1 used bus ticket
6 pieces of candies (including a Wrigleys bubblegum from Pinas)
1 aloe propolis lotion
2 pairs of kiddie sunglasses
2 huts
2 newly finished iron leaves made by the local blacksmith
2 candy wrappers
1 broken screw from my hubby's pair of sunglasses
2 hotel pens coming from different worlds (one from Bangkok, one from France)
2 kiddie summer dresses
1 kiddie undie
1 wallet
1 handy phone
2 pairs of used kiddie socks
5 tissue packs, all opened
1 empty etui
3 hair accessories
3 brochures
1 mini kiddie book
1 notebook
1 pack tomatoe ketchup
5 pieces of rice waffles (the two choco flavored already sticky and all melted, yikkks)
1 digital camera
1 small stone (this was a souvenir taken by one of the kids from our trip in Austria early this year)
some soil and sand from visits to playgrounds and parks all over

I cant believe how I accumulated so much. And never once noticed. (Hmm, maybe the weight!) You would think I would learn from this? Of course not, that is why we have big mama bags. To have enough space for more :-) Just in case, most of the things went back in the bag again!

natawa naman ako sa contents of your bag. I call mine the "Mary Poppins" bag - you never know what will pop out of it! LOL
So you're in Germany pala. I have a Filipina blogger friend there who was my schoolmate. :) Blogging reunited us!

sobrang funny naman blog mo at naka -relate ako dyan ha. aside from my collection of bag. may collection din ako ng mga tissue,papers,receipt etc. like u...sabi nga ng asawa ko everytime we go to a party kc nananalo kami ng anak ko sa game na bring me. kc super dami talga ng nakalagay dun na hindi ko namamalayan....he he he. that's the advantage of having a bag na madaming laman. winner lagi sa bring me game .:)

i guess it's time for u to really have a new, big & nice bag. and start checking once in awhile ang laman. baka may tumubo na lang dyan sa loob ng bag mo...gudluck sa tin!
