a fight like no other... let's go BOODLE FIGHT! 💪🏼 Now before you go on a flight or fight mode, boodle fight is actually a military style of eating where people gather round long tables and food is prepared on top of banana leaves. You will find yourself in a "fight” that refers to the act of grabbing and eating as much as you can before others grab them or runs out 😂 #TroverFoodies #ginnysjournal #Cebuseries #uniqueexperience

This was a quick shot on my way back to the hotel we were staying at. The picture was a bit dark but I just wanted to share that while a poor family was walking infront of me with their back turned, they were laughing so hard that although I cannot understand what they've been saying, they look so happy and contented.
