Prelude to the Great Cebu-Bohol Trip

Here are the cast of characters. Names are based on how Ikoy called us.
1.Nuni – That's me. Ikoy couldn’t pronounce an “s” yet. So, he invented "nuni" himself.
2.Denden – This, we thought for him. And he adapted easily, sounding Bisaya. ("Dindin")
3.Mama Ke– The bunso who turned turned out to be a mommy. Still sweet and caring.
4.Bamba – Don’t know how Ikoy came up with this. But imagine being angry at someone who’s called Bamba. Very pogi, especially when he’s smiling.

5.Jaji – Lij became a photographer. But she's still the prettiest and sexiest of all. But not allowed to work in Cebu.
6.Panda – Favorite tourguide. Thank you Chawo.
7.Mother Goose – Mommy of Moxy. With an odd-smile for a picture pose. Keeps on taking out dead hair from her head. But had the most cash for libre.
8.Cow – Moxy. The baby cow who had the most wonderful time. Properly documented with the pictures.
9.Madcow – Tita, you put this onto yourself.
