the story has yet to be told!
although our stay in hong kong was only overnight, hongkong has been a part of my journey - a portion of my destiny!
after a tearful night and a throat-clenching farewell, a moment of truth has arrived – i am about to ride a plane that will change my life forever.
while waiting for the first class passengers, i saw an old friend – Marla! and golly, was i ever happy. i forgot my fluffy eyes as i waved at her and asked if she will also take the same plane. it turned out that her family will be visiting hong kong for a vacation. yummy! good for her!
and so hongkong!
we got stuck in the airport for four hours!
they have a very tricky airport! we wanted to go to the second floor but for some glorious reason, we just can't... we tried the elevator, twice! but it took us to different places and weird scenarios, and worse, when we thought we finally made it, we were transported us back to our humble beginnings! very much like that of a maze! what makes it harder was most people can’t speak English.
at around 5:00, we thought of riding the train. afterall, it’s the only one we haven’t tried. and yes, they have a train inside the airport. and voila! hello second floor! eheheh!
we hurriedly looked for things to eat ( we were super hungry!) and then wondered on how we can eventually get out of the airport. *yes, we're still here* after asking several information booth, passerby, few janitors and again tried our luck by following some people in-line. we finally found our way out.
wheeew! at long last! *eyes-rolling and rolling* and *tongue panting*
our hotel!

our hotel!
this is the hotel's mini-bar just beside the lobby.
we wanted to discover hongkong….and again, after a few lost in space adventures, we just settle in this place. this is outside of their mall. it looks like a garden with a playground and there were displays of artworks.
another one! me and my sis!
the napkin!
– synonymous with tablecloth, rag, napkin with wings (lol!)
i had my monthly period! i did not have anything with me. the natural action is to call the room service that eventually lead into a series of trials and errors. i even took the napkin wrapper fresh from the trash can that my sister used and showed it to them. but still! they did not get it! horrible! the remedy? secret! :p
so again…hongkong!
- i should have taken a chinese class in college, the trip would have been less complicated, and i would have a napkin! loll
- the people (janitors, bagger, room service peeps, taxi driver) that served us look like the richest people in the Philippines. well, they are Chinese!
- the airport. don't ask.
