Whenever I receive a gift, guessing what the box contains brings so much excitement.
Simply looking would never suffice because the wrapping is never foretelling of the content of the box.
I can hold and shake the box to see if it clicks, ticks or cracks but the only way to find out what it contains is to open it.

Tearing a beautifully wrapped box may seem irreverent but it's the only way to see its contents!

I realized that the same holds true for people. To know a person better requires commitment to go beyond the physical and necessitates a certain degree of bravery and faith to get to the soul of a person.

Whether I like what's inside or not, or whether the "box" contains anything at all, the thrill of knowing the person...the being within the body is always worth the effort!

Before we chose Virgin Australia, Jun found this website which compared airline tickets. A budget airline called Jetstar offered the cheapest air rate however, if you pay with the credit...
