Bohol is another island about 2 hours away by ferry. It's famous for having mini-monkeys and beautiful mountains known as the "Chocolate Mountains". I had originally intended on doing all the touristy crap, but got so caught up in just relaxing that I'll unquestionably have to go back to catch the mini-monkeys, etc.
As I have mentioned before, my entire Asia trip just seems surreal; however, this was the first time I actually felt in the moment as it was happening. One of the other shows was filming there and it ended up becoming a big party for one of the girl's birthdays. I was kind of a tag-a-long for the trip, but it was good to get to know a lot of the people I don't normally get to interact with. Drinking under the stars and palm trees, massages on the beach at night, dangerous mid-night pool antics, new friends, and a good memory.
I'll consider this one a success.

The Jetsons
Last night, I had my mind blown by technology.
I have to place some orders for items from the US and China, however websites won't accept purchases from Filipino IP addresses because it's apparently a hub for fraud. I was going to have my father's business manager handle the ordering for me, until I was introduced to the future.
First off I was video chatting with my father in St. Louis, MO from Asia (which still baffles me) and then he walked me through remotely logging in to his office computer in his Mansfield, TX office. So I'm making orders from Asia on a computer in Texas while video chatting with someone in Missouri.
Mind. Blown.
On a different note, I was hanging out with some Brits last night who introduced me to Florence and the Machine. I know I've heard them before, but never really paid attention. I dig 'em.

Random Thought
It's unfortunate when people don't realize their kids (especially babies) are genuinely ugly. It's equally sad when people think they are more attractive than they really are.
