Day 3 Shopping along Nathan Road and Gimik Night Let's just say we started shopping around 2 in the afternoon. We were just too tired from all the walking we did at Disneyland the day before that we thought we needed a little rest. This day was way much more walking than in what we walked in Disneyland. After walking along the long stretch of Nathan Road for about 6 hours, resting only when we want to try on shoe sizes, we finally had our late dinner at Mcdonalds in Harbour City at around 9PM. We needed to hurry because our cousin Kuya Dean will meet us at 10PM at a club for night out in HK.
eating, walking and shopping along Nathan Rd
Gimik Night Getting Lost and A Looooooooooooooooong Walk We had to find a club named Sticky Fingers. Our cousin will meet us there. After dinner, our adventure began... We started walking again around 9:30PM, we got lost on our way there, no one could understand us when we ask for directions, worst was, the only roaming line that we had was mine and all the phones that we had had low batteries. We found the place around 12MN, we just walked from that Mcdonald's place to about the border of Tsim Tsa Tsui and Hunghom.
I L-O-V-E Smirnoff!!!
The reward for me here is that I wanted to drink a LOT of alcohol, I needed my legs to feel wobbly from all that walking. Thank goodness it worked! I was my old jolly self having consumed 4 bottles of the yummy thirst-quenching Smirnoff Ice in about an hour. The price I paid for that happy hour was another walk to Hunghom from that bar. It was another 45 minutes of walk before we reached the condo. Wah!!! But because I was in my old jolly drunkard self, I kept them entertained along the way, taking pics para di naman boring at cranky!
paglakarin nyo na ang lasing wag lang ang bagong gising! hahaha saya!!
In short, what we did on Day 3 in HK was WALK, WALK, WALK and WALK!!!! I swear my legs and feet needed a good spa after this day and night!
Hindi sulit ang punta ko sa Disneyland, pano naman kasi late na kami nakaalis ng bahay. Dapat kasi 9AM-9PM dapat ang time sa Disneyland para mapuntahan mo lahat dun. Nakarating kami 12NN-9PM. Nasayang ang tatlong oras namin sa late ng paggising ng late, pagkain ng breakfast at pagligo ng 9 na tao sa maliit na condo. Hayz... kaya tuloy next time na pumunta akong HK eh kelangan ko pa tuloy bumalik dito... ang mahal pa man din ng entrance Hayz... Di bale, kakaibang experience naman ang nangyari dito.
Sobrang init pagdating namin, tila prinipito ka ng daan. Napabili tuloy ako ng payong na worth HK$85 para di mapaso ng init. Hu hu hu ang mahal ng lecheng payong na un.
Anywayz, first stop was the Lion King show, we all enjoyed the Lion King performance. Next was the parade! Then the Donald Duck 3D. Also the interactive Stitch and last was the boring Golden Mickeys. Kay tarzan lang ako nabuhayan sa Golden Mickeys and I think you know why.
The pics with the characters took a long time, lots of long lines for pics with them. And out of all the Disney characters that graced us, there was one character that was very snobbish of them all. It was Snow White. She only wanted one picture for one group, the nerve. She's not that pretty anyway, Belle was the prettiest out of all the characters. Too bad nga lang, di sya pumunta sa locations na pwede magpa-picture.
I enjoyed two things in Disneyland, the Lion King show and the parade. The parade changes every season, and for this season, it was a heatwave show. We were all wondering why the staff were wearing raincoats, yun pala babasain kami habang nagpa-parade sila!!! hahaha Fun getting wet by Pinoy staffers pa ha! Tinitira talga kami! hehe
I'll post a teaser video of the Lion King show. It's the first part of the show. I'll also post a vid of the first part of the parade and where my sister made a booboo. Watch out for her booboo... hehe
For the fireworks, I was disappointed dahil na din kasalanan ko. Di ko minadali mga kasama ko na pumunta na sa harap ng castle para manuod ng fireworks. Ang view kasi dapat is in front of the castle, yun pala ang best view. Malay ko ba na dapat dun panuorin kala ko kahit saan eh makikita mo sya. Naabutan tuloy kami ng fireworks sa likod ng castle. Makikita mo pa din yung fireworks pero wala yung effect nya na wonderland sayo. Hayz... oh well, at least babalik ako dito ulit someday and for that I'll make sure that I will save a spot in front of the castle grounds.
More pics and vids can found in my multiply account as it's easier to upload them there. http://tabel0229.multiple.com
Sampu na magpi-pinsan ay mananatili ng isang linggo sa isang maliit na condo unit ng pinsan nila sa HK. Tig-tatlong tao ang matutulog sa 2 kwarto at pati sa sala, ang may-ari ng bahay ay sa sofa naman. Good Luck sa ating magpi-pinsan at sana sa huling araw ng ating pananatili sa HK ay di pa maiinit ang ulo natin sa isa't-isa. hehe

Ito ang lugar ng pinsan ko, Hunghom Whampoa, Kowloon. May malaking boat sa gitna ng syudad. Medyo malayo ang lakaran papuntang ferry pero ito ang easiest way to get around HK lalo na kung turista ka. Ang hirap kasi basahin yung mga bus stops dun.
Life is about choices. That is so very true. But with every choice we make, we must accept the rewards and/or consequences that comes with it. However, it is also up to us if we want it to be a reward or a consequence. Cherish the Rewards! Rise Above the Consequences!
