The wonderful thing about quick trips is that you don't need to check anything in. Annually, family and I head down to Davao for the company Christmas party. Practically a day trip, nothing to check in, only carry on bags. But this morning, landing in Manila, brother T and I found each other waiting for baggage at carousel 3. T had his daughter's science experiment, a hydroponic concoction set to grow in a beer bottle by our team of agricultural genetecists (don't ask me what for). I had a narra wood baul (chest) with mother of pearl inlay haggled and bought from the Maranaos in Aldevinco (sarado mano as they called my last hour purchase).
As we were comparing notes as to the oddity of our loot from Mindanao, the carousel started up and out came a Sony Vaio box with a chicken inside. The black feathers looked like they were designed into the box, which was very new. Tumitilaok pa the chicken. Talo kami ni T.
