Something new in Hong Kong

A few years ago, Hong Kong was known as a shopping haven. We'd go there with 1 small luggage and come back with 3 filled with the cheapest clothes, shoes and gadgets. But with Hong Kong's developing economy, it's now considered one of the world's most expensive cities. So we had to think of other things to do aside from shopping!

* This is an advocacy on saying no to plastic bags.


We took the ferry to get to Lantau Island from Harbour City, climbed 268 steps up to see the World's largets outdoor Buddha.

Po Lin, Lantau Island.


and rode the cable car back to the city.

Here with a picturesque view of the whole of Hong Kong.

Makes you buy what you don't need.

That's the Japanese 88 peso store in Greenbelt 1!

Brought my mom there (SUPPOSEDLY) to buy office supplies. We ended up buying an 88 peso document organizer and 4,000 pesos worth of other stuff!

My mom's mantra for the day: Buy it! it's just 88 pesos anyway :)

Manila Blacked Out!

I hope everyone's settled down with no major damages after Basyang.

The wind was whistling like was crazy the other night. I fell asleep at 30 past 4.
The next day I had to shower with the door slightly open so I could see where my toiletries were.
No internet for a day and a half. I couldn't get much work done cause both my phone and laptop were out. The generator's capacity only allowed 1 ceiling light and the ref PER unit. Crazy right?? While Regency's allowed an aircon in one room and a light and one socket for all rooms PER unit. So I charged all my gadgets while my bf still got to play his ps3!
Talk about the bourgeois and the proletariat!

So much to do, so little time!

Today was hectic.

My to-do list for Suelas went over the daily alloted space in my planner, so that took up more than half of the day. I left at 3pm and headed to the office; got stuck in traffic for almost an hour! Aaargh! Manila traffic is freakin' awful! There weren't any more free parking slots for me at the office so I had no choice but to go to the pay parking lot. I gave myself 1 hour and 55 mins to get work done so I'd make it in time for the 40 peso/2 hours parking rate. Yes, I'm a cheapskate and I'm proud of that! :) I sent all my reports to my mom and left for the mall to pick up TJ's glasses. Went straight home to change for the Usher concert.

You make me wanne say, Oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh ooh OH MY GOSH! :)
