Travel diary: Hong Kong Day 3 and Day 4

November 4

Day three in Hong Kong was spent shopping. I know, I know how cliche, but that's one of the main reasons why we always opt to go to Hong Kong! Hong Kong is known for its diverse shopping preferences. From midnight shopping on the sidewalk to high class shopping near the Avenue of Stars! You just can't go wrong with it. :)

On the fourth day of our trip, the parents opted to take a ferry going to Macau. They've been there a lot of times with their friends, while it was the first time for my siblings and I. Macau is unbelievably beautiful. It was isolated, yet extremely extravagant. Apart from the Casinos, the best part for me was the Macau towers. One day, I will climb that tower and bungee jump my way down!! Anyway, after the trip, my sister, my mother dearest, and I splurged on the H&M shop near the Avenue of Stars! What a beautiful way to end the day :)

Theme parks. Who doesn't love theme parks?

Ever since I was young, I've always had this urge to prove something to myself.. to prove something to the people around me. Being the middle child with a family that is highly passionate about traveling and migrating to other places, I've grown to be independent at a very young age. I was extremely brave. As a matter of fact, I still am, and I'm very much proud of that. I've been left alone on my own countless of times, and it made me immune to being so needy and dependent to everyone. However, this does not mean that I love these people any less. It is just me, I guess.

The Hong Kong Ocean Park is the perfect getaway to the business that is called our lives. As silly as it sounds, It served as a reminder to me to continue being fearless despite everything I was going through. It reminded me to hold on because life has so much more to offer, and that it should be faced with a strong demeanor. Aside from that, It also brought back a lot of memories. The first time I truly cursed (and at the very young age of 4 years old, might I add), the random and impulsive getaway with my silliest best friends, the family trips to a local theme parks, and the time I went to the theme park with my brave boy..

November 2

The trip was a very beautiful blessing for us. We were all tired and pressured from each of our every day lives, so as a breather, my mother decided to book us a ticket to Hongkong in time for the long break declared by the palace.

Since Alba was also in Hong Kong, he fetched me from Metro Park hotel (Kowloon), and we strolled, together with Angelo and Tito "Pari", along the roads of Nathan until Harbour City to meet up with his family.

What a lovely day.

It was a lovely and breezy Wednesday night by the bay, and yet, I was beyond exhausted. It was a very raining morning, and classes got suspended. I abhor university life for being like that, but maybe, it's also for our own good - teaching us to be more responsible and hardworking in the long run.. Yeah, right. The ambiance was very cozy, and the mood was beyond enchanting. The smell of smoky Japanese food, legitimate American steak, and wine is around the air, and everything was just so ideal. I never really thought anything can go wrong until you suddenly said, "I'm going to miss this." I knew you were leaving for abroad again tomorrow, and we weren't as close as before anyway, and yet.. despite that, it only took me less than a second to realize that I feel bad - So terribly bad that I can't help but tilt my head to any other direction but yours. It's crazy how close we were before, and how strangers we are now. The depth of the comparison of our relationship just baffles me. I don't think you'll ever know how much I look up to you. How much I look up to your never ending love towards your family. The way you honor where you came from is so rare and so equisite. You're a wonderful man. I wish you didn't have to leave so soon.
