My hongkong trip

I am so blessed that i have a good job with good pay ( ehem!!) because of this I am able to go places.

One of my favorite destinations is Hongkong. I so love this country. The country is small but it is clean and beautiful not to mention its cold too.

It was funny though and i can't help to smile or laugh everytime I remember my experience on my departure date. Prior to my departure, i keep on thinking( it took me 1 whole day) to decide wether I want to pursue my trip or not. I was alone. Its my gift to my self after my hard work. I need a break!! hahaha!

Oh well, going back, my departure time is 5:40 in the morning of May 14, 2010. 1 day prior to that date,my things arent packed yet. Around 12am of May 14, I decided to pack my things and headed to the airport. I just texted my parents and my brother that im on my way to the airport to go to HK. They were shocked! Yes, you read it right, they were shocked because they didnt know about my trip until that time. They can't do anything about it so they just told me to take care.

I reached the airport 4:45am. I immediately go to the counter to board. The lady gave me my boarding pass but told me to pay the travel tax that costs 1650Php that time. The line for travel tax is horrible. it was too long. Keep in mind that my flight is 5:40 am and im still waiting for my turn to pay the travel tax around 5am. The lady from the counter helped me get out of there so after that, i paid the terminal fee 750php (it's 550Php now )and went ahead to the immigration. The officer asks a lot of questions when a guy keeps on shouting "Passengers going to HK, please go to the gate immediately". So i told the officer to make it quick - im the last passenger to board the plane. i ran to the gate without my shoes on because after the immigration- they will scan all of your things, will ask to remove your shoes , belts etc. Wheeew! that was close.. hahaha! the plane almost left me.. hahaha! It was a 2 hour flight. I reached HK around 8am. The airport is nice, big and clean. I went to the rest room first because I need to pee, when im done this was all i saw. I am alone. I dont know where to go. I keep on asking myself- how can i get out of this airport???



Oh well i manage to get out of it because i followed those businessmen. But when I see that they're waiting for a train, i was like- äm I in the right direction??? but yeas- im in the right direction. I managed to go to the immigration, pass it and when Im about to get out of the airport - the officer call me and told me to follow them. I was wondering why. He asked if Im alone- they get my luggage - and hold my passport. They check my bag if I have drugs with me. They told me that its part of their security check since there are lots of Filipino Drug Mugul who goes to their country.

The good thing about the HK airport??? You can choose your transportation once you get out of it. They have trains and busses. I took the train going to Kowloon, and then ride the bus going to Tsim tsa Tsui. I stayed in one of the hostels there, its called Hopp In. Hop Inn is located in hankow street in tsim sha tsui. You can visit their website by clicking this link Hop Inn. It was also chosen as the Travelers' Choice 2012 Winner by Trip advisor as one of the trendiest hostel in China division. The owner and the staff of the hostel is very nice and accomodating.

What I did in HK? I sleep. hahaha! Just kidding. I went to places and walked a lot. The bad thing about my trip??? i don't have my camera with me. But i managed to took some photos using my mobile phone. here are some pictures:









My over all stay in HK was wonderful.Even though I am alone during that time, still I enjoyed my stay. I will go back there for sure. It's just that - I don't know when. :P

rizsha the wanderer!

Wow! lets try this again. I'll start with my coron trip.

We've been planning this trip way way back 2009 and we pursue it last Feb 2010. I am with my friends Apple and Arlene.

This would be my first trip with them so i am very excited.

After Apple's shift, we waited for AJ in the office before going to the airport. I believe that our departure time was 10pm- we had 1 hour flight so we landed around 11pm in Busuanga Airport.We ride a van from the airport to the Coron Village Lodge - it is one of the famous lodge in the place. We rented it 2700 for 3 nights.

Anyway, our first agenda was to go to AJ's friend house name Razell. We ate lunch there. My most favorite part was eating lobster. Its my favorite. after that - we trekked to Mt. Tapyas. It has 750 + steps and believed me, its not easy to go up there. My legs were trembling and im gasping my breath. Good thing, we went to Maquinit hot spring after. The hot spring has one big square like container with overflowing hot water, with 2 circle like container inside that square- the water inside those circles are hotter compared to the ones in the square. It feels so good to be dip in hot water after the not so easy trek.

We spend our second day in island hoping. We went to Siete Picados - its like a big aquarium in where you can see different fishes, Kayangan lake - the calm but seems scary lake- you can see shripms here and small swordfishes, Twin Lagoon - where salt and fresh water meet - and because of the this the water becomes blurred. We went to different beaches as well to relax and swim. All i remembered was, I am so tired during our second day that resulted me to sleep early.

Our 3rd day is packing day. This is our time to leave the place and go back to our real world. but before we headed to the airport - Razell goes to our room and gave us souvenirs. That girl is really sweet. She even gave us cooked lobsters.

We didn't explore the place much as we dont have time. So we promised that we will be back there. - As soon as we have time and money to spent- :)

wow! i can't believe that this blog has page rank 1 again. im inspired now to continue blogging. ahihi :)

soju!

I love watching telenovelas. Almost all of it has a scene where in they drink soju in a restaurant. I thought its like a beer but it is not. My friend said that it has less alcohol content since it is made from rice. In short i tried drinking it. But hey- im wrong! it taste like vodka for me and I got dizzy after. I love vodka so I love soju. It just nice that there's a korean store near our work. I can always buy anytime i want! evil laugh! bwahahaha!

Party!!

Time flew past and its December again. Every time I think of December, the first and second things that comes in my mind are foods and shopping! Why not? Tis the month where in you can have your bonus - to have party and eat a lot.

Speaking of party, we just had our Christmas party last December 12. The party was held at Ascend Bar in The Fort. The party will start at 7:30pm and end at 12am.

I have my shift that day. So I am thinking if i will attend it or not. i end u attending the party but i was late. This is because i had to pass by a salon to have some hair and make up.

I like my make up during that night. It was not dull and heavy. Also, i dont look like a ghost.. haha! I love my dress too.. hehe!

here are some pics:

It seems that last month was my worst month. Well, a lot of things happened to me. First, was that I am the last person who chose the schedule. Since I was the last to choose, I wasn't get the right or the suitable shift where I'm comfortable and result was that I cancelled my training for that month. Second, I got wound on my toenail because of my ingrone. And the last was that I got a sprain on my left ankle.

Well, not all were bad. I've got a perfect attendance during this month because I don't have late! yes! you read it right, i didn't have any tardy last month but I have SLs' or sick leaves for personal reasons. Also, I think I've improved on my productivity during that month; I learned to focus. I learned that in order for you to get what you want- you have to work hard for it.

I also attended some gatherings/trainings during this month. Those were "Summit" and "Breaking Barriers". Summit was held at Crown Plaza in Ortigas, near Robinsons Galleria. We need to wear cocktail dresses. Since I don't have any dress, I bought mine in Karimadon- thanks to Ivan for helping me found my dress. Also, I bought another in Divisoria - thanks to my "Pardz"- their my critics in choosing the best dress for me. Below are some of my pictures during "Summit".





There's also Breaking Barriers. This was held in Balai Isabel in Batangas.The place was great. You can see the Taal Volcano and you can fish in the lake. The infinity pool was very beautiful. The cons of the place?? Well, we don't have electricity - they said that there's a power outage in the place and also the food didn't tastes great. Anyway, the aim of the training is that you will able to know yourself and have fun. At first, I am afraid to attend this training because of my sprain. This is because I heard that this will be more on physical things such as running, climbing etc. But thank God- its less physical. In my own experience - this training deals more on your physical, mental and social alertness. During this training, noticed that my brain wasn't working properly. Like I can't solve any puzzles now in less than a minute unlike before. Also, you need to socialize with your team so that you can do the task easily. Below are some of the pics:






All in all, this month was a blast! I enjoyed it though I hate it. My friends know why i hate it. hahaha!

a little more to go!

the update to my blog is almost done. I think its just need a little more editing. However, I noticed that some of my blog pals' link s broken. So to those who was not able to see their names or their blog title on my list, please leave me a message and the new link for you blog so that I can add it u.

I keep on missing my favorite shows on television because I always come home late. I am living alone so I can't ask someone to record my it. A friend of mine told me about this satellite tv. I am hesitant to try it at first but my friend s so eager for me to try it. So what i did is browse the net to check on the best deals a satellite tv can offer. I came across this Connecticut Satellite television site. In this site you can choose on what satellite tv would be best for you - Direct TV or Dish Network depending on your location. Both have free equipment and the installation is free as well. Local networks are available and you can also request to add new channels for a minimal fee. Plus it doesn't use cable lines that is why the reception is clear. One of the features I really like about this is that you can record your favorite show even you're not home. All you have to do is set it. Now I can watch my favorite show over and over again.

I have been busy with my work and I wasn't able to update my blog. This is because I am so tired of my current shift. when I got home all i want is to sleep. I was in the night shift then transferred to the morning and now I am on mid shift. Honestly, it is fine, however, I have been working 8 days straight without having a rest day. During those days, i also need to do the laundry so what i did was wake up early in the morning - do the laundry and then go to work.. It was so tiring.. hehe! I am so ahppy right now because its my rest day! thank Goodness..

Most of us have different preferences in terms of whom we want to be partners in life. Some like Caucasian, Japanese and some like blacks. Just like one of my friends, she prefers to have a black partner so what she did is to sit in front of computer and then start chatting. She log on to Black Chat Rooms and there he met her husband. Start chatting now and who knows, you might find your soul mate their too.
