I was carrying my Dakine Backpack on one shoulder and set it down beside me in the tricycle because I was carrying my wet clothes and a towel. Jeff and I sat inside and his dad rode with the driver on the back of the motor bike. When we got to our destination at the Lapu-Lapu Statue, I was the first to get off without thinking of looking back to double check if I had forgotten anything. After about 15 minutes of walking around the site, I realized something was missing... ]]> http://lakbai.com/2010/03/06/i-left-my-backpack-inside-a-tricycle-in-cebu/feed/ 0 http://lakbai.com/2010/03/06/canele-patisserie-chocolaterie-in-singapore/ http://lakbai.com/2010/03/06/canele-patisserie-chocolaterie-in-singapore/#comments Sun, 07 Mar 2010 03:42:48 +0000 Stacey http://lakbai.com/?p=1718 Need a quick yummy snack?
