Hong Kong Trip

We had a not-so-perfect vacation but it was filled with perfect moments. We stayed at Best Western Harbor View and booked a DeLuxe Harbor View room (non smoking room) via Expedia again.  It was not as huge as our first hotel room but the view from our room was FANTASTIC! We would just sit and sip coffee/tea together and enjoy the view. Happiness really isn't difficult. It’s actually terribly, awfully, painfully simple. We opt to have a breakfast buffet as well for 2days as it was more convenient for us.

My friend asked if I wanna go to Disneyland. My eyes widened and I nodded like a kid (pabebe?!) I don’t know but I guess everyone loves to go there, right? Yeah? Great. I’ve never been a risk taker in the traditional sense, let's just say I am not the person you'd call to go sky diving or the one to go all in and bet everything. As boring as it sounds, I prefer planning/cautions. I want to go to Disneyland because of the Disney Princesses and of course Tinkerbell and Stitch.

I am not really excited about those I-feel-so-dizzy- rides. I hate heights, yes, I am acrophobic and I am not happy about it. I can tolerate the sharp twists and turns of each rides but I am telling you, I would die for a single sudden drop of a ride. Unfortunately, my boyfriend asked me to try Grizzly Gulch's mine car! Gulp! I told him I cant, and guess what, he won! So we both board the mine car -- he's excited and I am scared. My eyes were closed at first coz I was really nervous, but thanks to my dear boyfriend who's holding my hands during the entire time. Brave is saying YES to the things that matters to you. LOL :) Same fate happened when he asked me to try Space Mountain! Oh.My.Gosh. That was one hell of a ride. Wohoooo!

His time's up. Its my turn to ask him watch/experience some kids stuff. I  know it's a little boring for him, but still he patiently waited and took some pictures for me. We decided to left the Theme Park around 4pm right after the Disney Parade. I told him I wanna go to The Giant Buddha and ride the cable car. We're at the ticket counter around 5pm but we were told that cable cars will be closed at 530pm so that means we don’t have much time to at least see the Giant Buddha.  So we decided to get some Coffee and had our early dinner.

Hongkong is Love. I dont imagine myself living there, but I know I would visit the place again. And on that day, I then believe that sometimes, the most ordinary moments are the most magically profound.I felt like I was a little kid, as if the day stretched out before us, drenched with possibility. ❤❤❤

Macau Trip

Casa Real Hotel

We spent a weeklong vacation in Hong Kong and Macau. Booked our flight online a week before our trip through Tiger Airways ,unfortunately we were told at the information counter that our morning flight was cancelled- no emails, no calls, no notification. Oh no! The lady told us that the airlines put us on the next flight which is at 8:30pm, so what are we gonna do the entire day? We're supposed to depart at 7:20am, I know it's not her fault, but the Airlines should've at least informed us. I tried to reach their Call Center to reconfirm the flight couple of days before the trip but I really cant get through. Anyway, we decided to book a new flight through Air Asia which is double the price of what we originally purchased. We just asked the lady from DG to refund the outbound flight. We don’t want to our trip be ruined.

We stayed at Casa Real Hotel,in Macau for 3days/2nights via Expedia. We booked an Elite room, one double bed non-smoking room but we were given Twin beds instead, but that's fine we actually loved it. The hotel staff are accommodating and pleasant. The hotel has free shuttle service to ferry terminal and border gate, it has a good location - the hotel has an indoor fitness and swimming pool and yes, the  room is spacious. I personally love the pillows and the bed.

Since it was my very 1st out the country trip,  everything felt so magical and surreal. I don’t have much photos as I usually do for some reasons, but let me show you some :)

Ruins of St. Paul

Senado Square

These 2 places are tourists favorite spots in visiting Macau and I guess this  is best explored at night. We never had a chance to get back here at night as we have other itinerary. We tried Turkish Ice Cream and i love it! Who doesnt love ice cream anyways? Hehehe. On that very day, we've also tried  my very first Gondola Ride at The Venetian and it was perfect.

There are much to see in Macau and I love it :) We even planned and tried to cross the border but we failed to do so. Nevertheless, this Macau trip is one of the best.
