Hong Kong - Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade


Our last day in Hong Kong was spent killing time around Tsim Sha Tsui harbour front and Hong Kong Cultural Center. We haven't explored this part of the city that much because it's only a 10-minute walk from our hotel. Our flight back to Manila is at 7:00 PM so we strolled a bit in the morning before going to the airport. 

Visual Diary: Hong Kong Disneyland


Here are some photos from my trip to Hong Kong Disneyland last May with my cousin, Gian.

Hong Kong - Central and Temple Night Street


After the long walk around Tsim Sha Tsui area, Gian and I headed back to Central again to find some place to eat. We particularly looked for SoHo disctrict because we wanted to see art galleries, but we got lost and starved on the way. Locals have a hard time speaking in English so asking for directions is useless. This part of the city is dominated by steep and hilly terrains so walking up and down the slopes can be very tiring. Thanks to occasional cycling, I was able to keep up with the long walks.

Hong Kong - The Peak Tower and Garden of Stars


I've only written down two places to visit on our second day in Hong Kong: The Peak and Avenue of Stars. The tram was closed when we visited so we had to ride the bus all the way to the tower. When we got to The Peak Tower, it was so foggy, we couldn't see the view. We didn't purchase the Sky Terrace Pass because there's nothing much to see anyway. The Peak Tower, as what it claimed, represents the epitome of modern architecture and is one of the most stylish architectural icons in Hong Kong. 

Hong Kong - Ngong Ping Village


The heat index in Manila is rising up and being confined in an air-conditioned room doesn't do the trick. While most are soaking themselves up under the warm sun and partying at LaBoracay, my cousin and I flew to Hong Kong to experience cold weather and for a short vacation.

Onesie Party


I must admit - I am not an expert when it comes to throwing parties. I always spend my birthdays eating dinner with my family and hang out with high school friends. For the past two years that I've been joining athletic groups, I became really close with my Dragon boat team mates the most. I have been inactive for quite a while, but we still chat and get together if our schedules permit. I decided to celebrate my birthday differently this year by having a theme: Onesie Party! And how good can it get when celebrated with these adventurous, sporty, crazy people? It was definitely THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

Denim Shortalls



A little fact about me: I have a thing for overalls. They are cute, trendy and classic. There are several non-childish ways to style overalls, but my favorite would be wearing them with a plain cropped top. I am too shy to show my bilbil, but I can over up most of my tummy while showing a little hint of skin. 

In Photos: National Museum of the Philippines


I remember visiting this place when I was in elementary school, we went to a field trip and National Museum of the Philippines is part of the one-day itinerary. I didn't appreciate it much as a kid; I felt the statues and old paintings are looming over me. Growing up, I began having interests in the arts and visiting various museums, because hey, it is nearly impossible to exit a museum without having gained insight or information during your visit.
