HK Adventure


Can't get enough of HK!? haha! i already posted our pictures in one of my albums. see it if it interests you. hehe. anyways, for a more detailed version of our HK trip. our main purpose of going there: NCLEX! at this time of the year... considerin' the brutal heat wave sweeping across HK...what else could be a better reason right?


Day 1:
Waited for my mum at HK station... thank you technology for globe roaming! haha! it would be very difficult w/o it considering that majority of the locals don't speak or understand the english language. whew! after me & my mum rendezvous near our hotel booth at the airport, we took a 30 minute bus trip to central park hotel. For those planning to take their exams in HK, please be advised that their hotels are asking for a deposit of at least $500 HK dollars. this is their protocol. anyways, so after resting for a few minutes, we went to look for my testing site....the grand millenium plaza. it took us 10 to 15mins & a big bowl of beef noodles (halos puro noodles pagkain dito) to reach it by foot. good exercise! haha! the place looks so grand! hehe! un lang. capuy na ksi ako from the trip kya wasn't able to make good observations. haha!


Day 2:

Hay, eto na! after pouring my heart out to God...this is it! me & my mum went to my "battle ground" with confidence & hope! armed with God's promises & the nursing concepts i've learned for the past month... i bravely faced my chinese facilitator, then... smiled! :D thinking... whatever happens... it will happen for a reason. as i seat in cubicle #9, i whispered an arrow prayer, then trusted God for w/o Him... i am nothing. after 3-4 long angonizing hours, i finished at question #75. whew! this could only mean 2 things: pass or failed. whatever it is...to God be the glory. i went back to our hotel sooner than my mum expected. said a word of prayer... freshened up.. then off we went to search for the subway papuntang sunny bay tapos HK Disneyland. using HK's map is tricky but we managed. haha! grabe, sumakit mga paa namin kakalakad. hehehe! i can't help but wonder tuloy how could the locals wear high-heeled shoes (halos lahat ng nakita ko nka high heels) w/o ever looking stressed out! hay... kami ni mama... after a few hours of walking, capuy na! no wonder the chinese are soo thin!! haha!


Day 3:

Ocean park! here we come! :D our trip to see whiskers was smooth sailing coz this time we were picked up by a local driver arranged by our travel agent. ocean park has a lot of shows to offer, just like disneyland. the only difference is that ocean park has live animals, while disneyland has stuffed animals. the theme park is mainly about educating the public on how to protect the rainforests, the ocean, & also its inhabitants. PANALO nnmn sa LAKARAN tong park na to!!! haha! u could lose 2-3 inches off your waist just by strolling the streets of this place under the hot hot sun! meron din mga thrill rides. here's my rating for each one (10 being the highest): *the dragon: 3 for effort. mas malupet pa ung space shuttle natin! *abyss: 7. ito na yata ung pinaka astig na ride dito. lastly, *eagle: ho-humm....4 cguro. this ride is synonymous to our very own condor in EK. ung iba diko na sinakyan o binaybay man lang... waste of time! bano kasi! haha! joke! hehe! after a few hours, di na mapakali ung mum ko. gusto nya na daw umuwi. sobrang init kasi tpos puro nmn daw pang kids ung attractions. i was hesitant at first kasi di ko pa nasakyan ung malaking balloon...pero she insisted. kya ngpasundo n kmi sa driver. buti nalang, i gave way to her likings...dahil gusto lang pla ng mum ko mgSHOPPING! haha! Great things will happen to you when you follow your parents coz they definitely know what's best! haha! kya children, always follow your parents! hehe! i don't exactly know the name of the place pero we shopped at the mall beside the prince & marco polo hotel. astig! nkasale ung mga shops nila! this mall had 700 shops to choose from at lahat nakasale! kaloka! hahaha!


Day 4:

we woke up later than usual today considering that this was our last day in HK. our flight is at around 6pm. our driver will pick us up from the hotel at around 3pm. after packing our bags, we still had a few hours before the driver comes. so we went...SHOPPING again! hehe. this time we went to Landmark. ok din kasi nakasale din sila! maybe bcoz their getting rid of their summer items in preparation for fall. kuro-kuro lang. hehe. habang papalapit na ng papalapit ung oras ng pick-up namin, papalapit narin ng papalapit maubos ung pera ko (hay... anna sui, kelan ba kita mabibili!?! haha! ) kya nirapat n naming bumalik sa hotel. after waiting for a few more hours, dumating na ung driver. he dropped us off at the airport, where we waited for a couple of hours for our flight.

Our HK adventure was nearing it's end just as the lady announcer paged our flight...


Overall, more than the rides, more than the drama, more than the theme parks, more than the harsh sun...the best memento i'll be treasuring forever from this trip... was the time & the memories that me & my mom shared... this i consider...priceless!

xoxo
