Last Yosi

I brought 4 reams of Winston Lights to Warsaw when I came. Below is a picture of my last (partially devastated) pack:


In pesos, a pack of cigs here costs p120 - expensive considering they just cost p19.50/pack in the grocery store (Pioneer Center - for those of you who are wondering) near my apartment in Manila.

And the bad thing is that they don't sell Winston Lights!

If you think the prices and the selection is bad, in Western Europe, a pack of "cancer sticks" costs 4 euros each (about p250).

Wow! Talk about discrimination!

When I look back and think, I realized that I just finished 800 sticks of cigarettes in the past 2 1/2 months. That's a lot!

I should quit, I know. :)

I second the motion! You can do it, Pope. Just be prepared to put on a little more weight. Once you've quit smoking, quitting drinking should be a breeze ;-)

HAH!

Hahaha - I am already currently gaining a lot of weight, imagine how fat I would be if I quit.

Wala, tinitiis ko nalang presyo dito - I am smoking less though, killing yourself with cigarettes is cheaper in the Philippines.

Is Jarek going home anytime soon? He might be able to bring you 4 more reams for the next 2 and a half months... hehehehe... BI! :p

Hi Mike,

I'll be home before Jarek gets here. I will ask him to bring over a ream of yosi for me though, extra stocks for my next trip to Warsaw. =)
