Pinoy Food Online!

It's such a relief to know that Filipinos in the USA who are suffering from homesickness can be comforted by the knowledge that Lucky Me pancit canton, Milo, Knorr soups, Alaska evap and tuyo can be delivered right to their doorstep!

I found the above link the other night and was amazed at the inventory. Sunsilk shampoo, chicharon, Fita biscuits, La-La fish crackers, Vcut/Oishi/Piattos chips and Eng Bee Tin hopia can be found here! There are other Filipino sellers on Amazon and other online groceries, but I think this store has the most variety and the cheapest prices outside of shipping.

I haven't actually ordered yet as the prices are more expensive than local brands, but if I suddenly crave for a taste of champorado or Fibisco chocolate mallows, I know that I can have them delivered straight to my door.

We have nearly finished three weeks of orientation (yes, THREE weeks!) and have readings and homework all piled up. School hasn't even started!

Already, we've had two mock interviews per student. Career nights, career fairs and career development sessions have also filled up our schedules. You can just feel the pressure and the stress. We have been given two books that will be useful in our career hunt. Two books! I haven't finished one yet.

We've had communication skills workshops and math workshops. We've toured the campus and spent our breaks listening to notable speakers. We've had impromptu gatherings and socials. Our inboxes have been flooded with emails from various departments, reminding us to order business cards, pay our accounts, buy our books, answer surveys, look at possible internships and submit that resume to the career website.

All this, while the sun sets at 9 PM and each day grows colder. It's nearly the end of summer. It's nearly the start of school!
