flight to the Phils. . .

so last sabbath, Andrew decided that we needed to see more of Brisbane. . .so he took us around the city for an afternoon drive and we checked out some new sights! thanks Andrew for making sure we did more than just work in Brisbane! :) then at the end of the week we said goodbye to our temp work there. . .sad to say that i will not be missing telemarketing! :) haa haa. . .i can't believe i actually worked there for one month! :) made some new friends as you will see from our cheesey pose below! :) then off to the Philippines we went. . .after a very turbulent flight via Malaysia, we arrived to the island paradise! :) greeted by a bouquet of bananas and mangoes at my parents' home, it was a nice end to our journey! :) here are some kodak moments. . .


a view of the city from Mt. Cootha. . .Rob and Andrew strikes a pose. . .



hanging out at the University of Queensland :)



lovahs walking along the path at the city botanical gardens. . .



Rob and Andrew check out a game of soccer - shirts vs. skins



"You're number is being called today to receive $4000 worth of food, entertainment, services and gifts for one $99!" . . . yes, that's what we had to say! and that's just the beginning of the script! :) these are some of my "co-workers" :)




KLIA - Kuala Lumpur International Airport . . . very nice. . .we treated ourselves to breakky at Starbucks. . . i can't believe how inexpensive it was! :) Annie, you would have loved it! :)




our welcome basket when we arrived at my parents' home in the Philipines! YUMMIEEEE!!! i think Rob and I ate half a bunch this morning for breakky. . .yum yum yum! :) a bunch of bananas cost $2 USD . . .wowee. . much better than $12 AUS per kilo!



early morning view out of my parents' front door! :) looking forward to more island scenes! :)
