Goodbye, TFC?

Here soon, we will need to start getting our stuff ready for another big move.  We're looking at an entire household goods that need to be packed.  Although, we're not going to be the ones to pack most of our belongings (the military provides movers who will do most of the packing and stuff), we know we still have so much to do as well.  Only a couple more months, and we're officially out of here.

A few days back, my husband and I had a talk about whether I want to keep my Filipino channel, or if I want to just cancel it since we're almost about to go anyway.  At first, I was left speechless. I didn't know what to tell him.  And though, I rarely watch all the shows and channels, I still felt a bit sad about the thought that I won't have any Filipino shows to watch anymore.  To be exact, I only watch 5 different shows; TV Patrol (news), KrisTV, The Buzz, ASAP, and MMK.  The rest, I really don't pay much attention to them.  So, when I came back to my senses, I asked myself, is it really worth keeping right now knowing that we're about to move out in a couple of months?   At this very moment, I honestly don't know.

My husband would let me keep it, if I chose to.  Right now, he kind of left the decision to me.  He said, either one, he's fine with it.  So, here comes my dilemma.

If I say cancel it, I won't have any access anymore to the Filipino shows I mentioned above.  And months without Tagalog shows?  Hmm, I don't know.  I know I don't watch TV that much anyway, but still, thinking about not having some sort of "being-in-the-Philippines" feel in our home, makes me sad and empty inside.  You know how we are, Filipinos, living abroad.  Being able to at least watch Filipino shows somehow lessens our homesickness.

But, when I look at the bigger picture, not only will it save us extra money for the last few months of our stay here, we won't have to worry about canceling it later on.  We will have so much on our plate to take care of, and I think it'll help if we start knocking down things one at a time, as early as now.

I told the hubby to keep TFC until New Year because I want to watch the Philippine countdown to 2013.  And after that, I can give him my final decision.  For now, I'll just have to enjoy it while I have it.
