Hong Kong Disneyland Part I



Okay, so I took these pictures about three months ago, but that's alright. They still deserve to be posted! This was Disneyland sometime during Halloween as you may have probably inferred from the pumpkins and graveyard.



This trip to Disneyland ended up being  more enjoyable than my past visits. I think it has to do with my sister and cousin not being there. They usually talk about how we're too old for this place already or that the rides are getting boring. It was just me and my mom roaming around the park together. She accompanied me on all the rides, and it was really fun seeing her panic in that Buzz Lightyear Star Command attraction. I felt like a kid, visiting Disneyland for the first time ever. It made me feel grateful to have my mom accompany me. I'm glad that I can always be her baby, though I may be eighteen-years old.

Cute, Inspirational and Witty Prints

[Once more, you will have to forgive me for neglecting my blog for such a long period. My internet connection at home has been dead for almost two months. And since then, I have grown weaker by the day. . .

However! I am staying over at my dad's place, which has a speedy internet connection, thank god. Although I will not be posting my own photos for this entry, I would like to share with you all what I have been obsessed about with lately, prints.]



These lovely images were made by the talented Emily McDowell. Check out her website here to see her other works of art! She sells some of her prints on Etsy in case anyone is interested. My personal favorite, well, I honestly can't decide between the three of these. I'd love to buy from her. . If I only had the funds to do so. I've squandered my Christmas money all too soon, darn it.

Belated happy new year (and merry Christmas) to you all ~

Hong Kong Photo Diary Part I


One of the stores my mama and I visited is called L.A.M.B., and I was so happy to see all the fur coats, cute dresses and scarves. Can't really wear them in the Philippines, though. SO I TOOK PICTURES INSTEAD (furtively).


My boyfriend granted me permission to take Totoro along. (Yay!) I was taking pictures of Totoro in a restaurant when the waiter came over, said something in Chinese and laughed. Based on his facial expression, I think he meant to say something along the lines of "what a funny girl, taking pictures of her stuffed toy." I hope.




Most of these photos were taken on my first and second day (and night) in Hong Kong. I'm glad that my family and I finally decided to have a leisurely vacation. My mother, being the semi-ADHD and workaholic she is, usually cannot stand doing nothing for a long time. During our family trips, she likes to walk miles on end, until our feet are bleeding internally. She could probably shop until her feet bleed, really. Then again, so could I. What are large-sized feet for anyway, right? Aside from stomping on things. 

I regret not buying that FUNKY FUNKY jacket, but by the time I had reached that store, I had already purchased a number of thick pieces of clothing that probably won't be used until I travel again. Of course, if I am lucky, the weather during Christmas will be cold enough to wear them? I could also put the air conditioner on full blast. Or go to the movies looking like a pimp (with mah furry goodz).

More photos to come!
