had a great laugh last night after dinner with my staffhouse mates. we laughed-out-loud 'til it hurt! good thing we didn't thow-up the food we ate. my worry is alfred, who was "Extra-Challenged" by joyce to drink a bowl of the (extra-)sour sinigang he cooked for dinner. he did, and his lips where white after that! all for the sake of KFC lunch and dinner. he was able to hold back the bowl of sinigang he drank despite the stomach-cramping laughs. we talked about staff house history too, and Nancy's tae-bo costume topped the stories that night, beating even alfred's stunt. it was a nice, fun and bonding moment. and a good stretching exercise too!
here are more laughs:
