Last week, despite our ugly experience with Cebu Pacific before, we still flew with them. Their fare is still cheaper than PAL, and we want to save money as much as possible.

I am in Hong Kong right now, sent by my company to do some technical support and user training on one of our application. I might not be able to update this blog as often as before. But I’ll try.
It’s summer time already. Everyone is planning to have a day-off or two just to enjoy the summer, go to the beach and have some fun.
As I drove myself home last weekend from Manila to Batangas, I noticed that Splash Island is already open. I’ve been there for several times already and I won’t hesitate coming back. The place is full of slides and water rides for a whole day of fun. They’ve got artificial sea that has artificial waves [...]
Finally, Manila Ocean Park is now open to the public. I was not there during the grand opening, but GMANews.TV gladly reports. Watch the report after the jump.
Everytime I go to Davao, I always go there via Cebu Pacific. I have no problem with them on the first 3 flights that I had, that’s why I’m surprised of the hassles I experienced on my last trip.
Yup, you read it right. Tomorrow morning is my flight to Davao. I’ll celebrate the New Year there with my future in-laws. I’ll be there till January 1.
At The Avenue Of The Stars, Hong Kong
Last night, it was cold outside here in Hong Kong. I think, the temperature was between 12 to 17 degrees on the Celcius scale when we walked our way to our apartment/flat. Yeah, I know, it is colder in the US, but I grew up in the Philippines, so, it was really cold for me.
If you want to experience a ride of a lifetime, ride on the upper side of a double-decker bus on Hong Kong and sit at the front. From there, you’ll have a better view of the streets and the different sceneries of Hong Kong. You’ll have a good view and a better angle to [...]
We were lost in Hong Kong before we finally found the bus going to Ocean Park. So for those of you who want to go there, here is the direction.
I’m in Shenzhen right now, currently staying at Nan Guo Hotel, a negative one star hotel. Hehehe. Well, I was surprised, really surprised when the accomodation they gave us is a cheap hotel, where in fact the last time I went here, we checked-in on Vienna International Hotel.
Last Saturday was a busy day for us, not really. We still roamed around Hong Kong and found ourselves at The Peak. As the name of the place implies, it’s at the peak of one of the mountains here in Hong Kong, giving us a bird’s eye view of Hong Kong.
One week had passed since I arrived here in Hong Kong. Even it’s the nth time that I’ve been here in Hong Kong, this is the first time that I was able to roam around and see some of the tourist destinations here in Hong Kong.
Last year, I’ve stayed to every apartment assigned to our company here in Hong Kong. It’s just that every time I come, I was being assigned to a different apartment. And now that there’s a new apartment assigned to our company, I am one of the first inhabitants of it, still maintaining my record. Hehehe.
My officemate asked me to buy a winter jacket for his wife. He told me that his budget is only HK$50. So, last Saturday, we went to Mong Kok and I tried to look for a jacket that fits his budget. Here is what happened:
It’s been a year since I last visited Hong Kong, and even after only one year, I noticed the following differences:
I am now in Hong Kong. I just stayed in Shenzhen for 5 days, did some testing and troubleshooting. I’ll stay here in Hong Kong for another week. I am staying now in one of our company’s apartment in Island Resort Mall. And yes, there is an internet connection in the apartment, that’s why I’m [...]
Ok, I’m breaking my hiatus because I’m alone in my room now and I have nothing to do. I am currently staying at room 1705 at Vienna International Hotel, a four star hotel in Shenzhen, China.
Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. Umuwi kasi ako sa Batangas last Thursday, nagVL kasi ako, hoping na makakapag-update sa bahay. Nakapag-update pa ako ng textmates, pero nung gabi, nagloko ang dial-up ng Globelines, laging busy, kaya hindi na ako nakapag-update. Ngayon lang ulit ako nakapag-online.
So what happened?
