Confessions of an O.C. Packer
I have started packing for our trip to Shanghai next week, and I am driving my mom and sister nuts with my fussiness. I admit I can go crazy when packing for a trip. A few days prior to departure, I actually make out a list of the outfits I will wear for each day of the trip. I have to know what we'll be doing or where we'll be going on each day, and I also get a weather forecast from my CNN Weather source (Hanks) so I can pick outfits that are appropriate and comfortable. Then I make sure the shoes and bag I'm bringing are color-coordinated with each other, and with all my outfits. I even pick out specific underwear and socks! Then I set about packing all the items in a systematic and space-saving method my mom taught me when I was still a kid: pants flat on the bottom, shoes and travel kits stuffed in the sides, shirts in the middle, jackets on top.
I would make even Fara proud.

Lol, we pack the exact same way. Glad to hear there's another OC person out there too :D
hello ailee, i maintain that the best way to pack is to travel light. at least you'll have another excuse to shop :b nice to know you're ok. --joseph from beida
Hi Joseph!! Good to hear from you. :) Don't worry, I have lots of extra room in my suitcase, will try my best to fill it up. ;)
damn! You're like my mom! You're like her long lost sis or something! You even think alike... eew!
I'm not about to be your Auntie Ailee. I haven't even accepted being your "Achi Ailee." :p
yuck!!! OC!!! u remind me of Jack Nicholson's character in As Good as It gets!! Weirdo!! Then again, I wudnt be surprised...I remember before our Tagaytay outing...u wer asking me what wer we gonna do there...and if u needed to bring some special clothes...hahahaha!!! ur so funny Aileesa...Sigh...ull be missed!! :P
haha! we are the complete opposites! i pack my luggage only the night before departure!:D no matter how long the trip is!:D and i think the writing down what to wear everyday is a bit over the top...don't you think???
wish i could say the same for myself. i notice that i've become lousier and more tamad to pack properly when travelling especially ever since i've been travelling too frequently ever since our market market store
opened. sigh.
