This is the picture that lead me to retaliate against Shuka

Cebu 2009
Made it to Soeul, Korea

Cebu 2009
I LOVED these little carts.  Since I didn't have any checked luggage and both my bags weighed nearly 30 pounds (half of which were snacks), these little boogers saved my back...AND THEY WERE FREE!!

Cebu 2009
Soeul airport...this place is bigger than some malls I've seen

Cebu 2009
I hate the fat noodles Shuka

Cebu 2009
Look up Melvin

Nice Christmas tree

Cebu 2009
Nice Christmas tree...It was probably 75-80 degrees when we arrived...nice transition from the 30 degrees we left hours earlier

Cebu 2009
The Hilton staff had a nice spread for us. The calamari was a nice to have especially after the meat biscuit surprise experience on the plane.

Are you troubled because you're too short

Cebu 2009

Cebu 2009
well try this contraption that will stretch you into the tall, slim person that you've always wanted to be. Just choke yourself...

Cebu 2009
wrap your feet around these bars...and voila....you'll grow inches in just weeks

Cebu 2009
You can even have parties. Tell all your friends to bring theirs over.

The hectic streets of Banilad (not sure if this was actually where we were at this point)

Cebu 2009

Shuka hated this pic. She'd say this is the picture that started the picture war between us.

ELECTRIC SLIDE
I just like this picture because I REALLY look like I'm enjoying myself...Like I was reverting back to childhood.  And even though we were doing the electric slide...NO ONE is on the same footstep that I'm on...smh

Cebu 2009
Stepping into the HEART OF PARIL (the village we were in)

NICE PIC
Melvin took this pic.  I just love how the natural light is hitting the faces of these beautiful children.

DR BOYLE
These are my hands exploring to see if there was in any tooth left

CUTE
The children were crazy about us. Jabrea's hat that she has on was a gift from one of the kids.

Cebu 2009
Last trip down the mountain. :(

HILARIOUS
This picture is HILARIOUS to me.  I don't know if they even know a picture was being taken, but everyone made the same retarded face....too funny!

SWEET
Shuka is the sweetest person EVER!  Notice her bag of goodies that she wasn't able to give away.

FUNNY
Shuka was laughing because she thought her butt popped out while she was trying to get to the edge of the boat.  Her main concern was if I had gotten it on camera or not.

MANGO FACE
This is the only way to eat these mangoes!

MID-MANGO FACE
A better picture was 1.5 seconds after I took this one

FUNNY
Jabrea dropped her mango on the ground.  She was devastated

TRUE MANGO FACE
Check out how wet my hands are...SMH

HMM
What the clinic will do to you
