back from my favorite place in the world
------

i arrived early this morning from Hong Kong/ Macau (1am) - we were supposed to land at 12mn but lo and behold, our flight got delayed since first, they couldn't get a signal from the PHIL AIRPORT; and when we were nearing MNL, we had to go round and round, since the runway is apparently closed. i don't want to sound too negative about this - but why are we paying all the taxes for terminals and travels - if they couldn't even operate it properly, and we are paying roughly a total of Php2,400 that is around 50USD per person, they have to do something right.

anyway, let's remain positive on this entry. i haven't blogged for quite some time, since there is really nothing to blog about - i mean, there are some, but i am just too lazy to do it - no photos, no anything, so am back with a vengeance. i went to HK/Macau with cho, my brother and our SY cousins (adu, lin and leo). it was DLSU's sem break (cho and leo are still in college), while adu and lin both took leave from their respective offices, and i am just here bumming around, so we all decided for a quick short trip.


late lunch at causeway bay - we accidentally went inside this place thinking that it was what i was looking for, we got stuck in there, but the good thing is that they serve really good beef noodles.


i was able to get some shirts from UNIQLO - they were still on sale at HK$19-99. cheap.


i wasn't able to get anything from muji, though i was trying to look for dad's eyeglass case, which is not in the store anymore.


leo, cho and i got shoes from puma. adu got his from reebok and nike. i was looking for the nike walking shoes in grey - but i couldn't see it in HK, i saw one in SHOE SALON kasi at Php2,400.


marc jacobs in fashion walk is heaven - they were on sale, as much as 50% off at some items. it is the only marc jacobs outside of US, that has their special items line - meaning cheaper than the MJ items, but still ex compared to other brands.


we took this photo at the MRT station, wala lang.


on the second day, we went to tsim sha tsui - actually, i like to stay at TST, almost everything is there na kasi, and i always have this great feeling when am there. headed off to my favorite restaurant in canton road, beside cotton on.


and this is what we ordered, roast pork barbecue (char siew) and roast pork (crispy)


.. we cannot not have this, roasted goose. i always go to this place, when am in HK.


i introduced this mango drink to cho before, and he wants to have it again. SUPER YUM!


i was able to see my friend, charlotte, we went to have drinks at TST also. i remember i was able to eat at this street with jac (a friend who is also based in HK) last time i was there. i also brought dried mangoes and banana chips for her, she loved it.


food republic's, sgt pepper chicken rice is heaven, and its even better in HK rather than SG.


chicho and i shared this mango-pomelo on crushed ice.


we went to the ESPRIT outlet store looking for aggie's gift, we finally got her a bag. whee!!

i was able to shop in moderation, i have to be proud of myself, i wasn't able to use any credit cards for shopping, just used whatever pocket money i brought, i am maturing na ata. HAHAHA!! overall, here are the things i got,

1) 2 pairs of jeans, H&M and GIORDANO
2) 3 items from UNIQLO
3) 3 items from BOSSINI
4) 1 pair of PUMA shoes
5) 1 polo from H&M
6) 1 belt frm GIORADANO
