Hongkong 2009 ☼

November 26 - 28

Before and during our flight. Happy, but extremely sleepy people!


During the city tour! We were brought to this place where the small boats park that has "footstamps" of famous people on it. Sort of like Hollywood, or the one in Eastwood, MNL. :-)

Mom and Dad being so adorable and not bickering. :"> heehee.


We also spent a day in Disneyland, HK.. It was soooo fun. Incredibly memorable! The rides weren't that extreme though, but the place is totally magical (what a lame term, but I don't know any other way to describe it, hihi). We rode ride, saw cute parades of Disney characters (oh gosh, I can't even. It was heaven!), watch fireworks (best 10 minutes of my life that made me teared up) and ate good, legit food! Disneyland HK is just memorable. I loved the experience! :-)
Mom and Dad under the Disney tree! :-)Look! It's snowing! :D
Having lunch before crazy-ing it up in the park. LEGIT CHINESE FOOD RIGHT HERE.


We were also able to spend a day in Ocean Park. Their Ocean Park is nothing like Disney land. The rides were more extreme, and the venue was more open. The siblings and I rode so many rides, that I forgot already what those rides were called. Heehee. I just remember riding this plane that rotates 360 with us being locked up inside, one person each. And, Going up on this big circle on the sky. And! riding the cable car. Legit cable car. It was crazy! @-) We also tried their Abyss turbo drop that goes up on air by around 65 meters. We weren't able to ride their roller coaster though. It was closed during the time. :-( But, oh well.. It was an amazing experience all in all!
Trying out other rides. :-)
Ocean Park is located on this mountain. Therefore, we had to take long, narrow and deep escalators just to get down to the other levels. :o
Mom and Dad overlooking parts of the city. It is that high!
Mandatory shot inside the telephone booth! =)
Abyss turbo drop. It was nerve thrilling! Something I'd definitely try again! :-)

Hongkong experience was amazing. It is something that is definitely on my list to go back to when I grow up. =) Their street food is amazing! not to mention the carinderias and the night markets. We also had the chance to go to the outlet stores that sells authentic branded stuff but in a cheaper price! We were also able to tour the city using a boat that taught us that some of the HK people can manage to live on a boat, in the middle of a big river.
Hongkong is amazing. That is all there is to say.

Miss. Sunshine.

4B's Miss. Sunshine :)

.. Happy girls are the prettiest.

Blurred

I sat there staring.. staring.. and staring. I started to contemplate. Maybe.. maybe I was born to be a starer. I suddenly want to laugh at the absurdity of my thoughts. Here we go again..

On Law

I was lurking around twitter awhile ago when I came across some law student's profile. I was awed. My eyes grew big, then.. my jaw dropped. I bookmarked it as if my life depended on it. Yes, I was very much THAT awed. And yes.. that happens a lot.. maybe, every time I encounter a law student. Haha.

Most of the time, I get discouraged.. intimidated, even. Imagine those folks carrying big books around, waking up at 6 in the morning to start their never ending reviews.. who won't get intimidated, right? Sometimes, I chill. I mean, I say a quick pray to God telling him to NOT make it hard for me when I get there.. But, I know that's impossible. After all, they won't teach you a subject that is impossible for you to learn, right? Anyway, sometimes.. I panic! Yes. A full blown panic. I stop then, utter a poor excuse of a phrase.. like "Oh my fcuk! Are you seriously planning to get into that mess?" But.. sometimes, I get excited too.. And, I take comfort from that. Somehow, that gives me hope to pursue that field. The field of law. Haha. Ofcourse, having a father as a lawyer is pretty encouraging but, in the end.. I know it's going to be just me.

Can't say I'm not scared cause, who in their right minds won't be.. right? But, I've been wanting this ever since I was a kid. I know it sounds weird, but somehow.. I have this confidence in me that I'm going to make it. No maybe, no what ifs, no fcking "I think I want to shift" (technically.. you can't shift when you're taking up law already.) .. I have my mind set on it. But most importantly, I have my heart on a stone.. set on it ever since I was a kid. It doesn't even matter anymore if I'm taking it up because that's what my parents want my to take, or because that's what the whole clan expects me to take. NO. I'm taking this for myself. Because somehow, I have faith.. that no matter what, I can do it and I'm going to do it.

Sounds bull. Everything I've said up there but, really whatever.. If there's something I learned.. and I keep on learning every single time..

It's that in God's good time I will prove my worth.

Little steps

Step by step, she walked. The misty air of change surrounding her. Suffocating her. Towards the unknown. Step by step, she glided. Looking almost like a skater on her rink. Like Shakespeare on his plays. Step by step, with passion.

It was a chilly March. Very unusual for the month. Silently, she thought of how appropriate the weather is. Almost as if it's taunting her. Telling her that change is about to happen. That after some few steps, her life will never be the same again..

.. Step by step, she whispered, "This is it."
