The last balikbayan box has arrived. Yay! I’m reunited with my makeup and my cellphone charger. Most of the stuff in the box are mine. Old and new clothes, shoes, the makeup, charger, books, etc. Also in the box is the nice Espressivo lamp I bought from Ikea. Maybe it’s stupidity but I plugged the lamp in a 220 volt outlet. I was perfectly aware that electronics and appliances in the US use 110 volt mostly. I read the literature included in the package and no mention of 110 or 220 there. Nothing in the box either. So I took a chance and plugged the damn thing, hoping that it will work and not bust the bulb. Well the bulb is busted now and I need a replacement 20v Halogen bulb for it. Damnit! I should have bought spare bulbs in Ikea. Or better yet, Ikea should open a store in this third world country!
Maybe there’s a kind and generous reader out there who is willing to get some bulbs for me? I still have paypal but there’s no money in my bank account. In fact, I owe Bank of America a little more than $100. I’m trying to get my aunt to deposit $200 in my account since she lives in the US. I’m digressing already. So anyway, please I want to get the lamp working. I hope somebody will help me with this nuisance. I would be so grateful!!!
