First Day in Hong Kong



This is a photo of us in the plane. photo taken at around 9:30am :) My dad never failed to make us laugh! This is one of the many reasons why I LOVE MY DAD : He kept on asking us to take pictures of him and whenever we start to take photos of him, he acts as if he doesn't want us to. The funny thing is, he acts like he doesn't want to have photos taken but he poses for the camera. He did this several times today! haha
This is another photo taken inside the plane! My dad wanted to have photos taken from different angles, so. I was listening to Kimya Dawson. HAHA Funny, my dad's wearing shades even when there is no sunlight. :))
I think this photo was taken before we had our breakfast? or after? I forgot. @_@





We checked in The Royal Pacific Hotel and Towers in Canton Road Kowloon. I actually called the hotel 4 days before our flight here to HK.We arrived there at 12nn. We took the urban taxi from the airport (gees. ang bilis magpatakbo haha! nahilo ako konti) We went to the front desk and confirmed our reservation. we thought that we can finally get some rest ( WE didn't have enough sleep. I had like only 2 hours of sleep! --- I packed my things late ) but the guy told us that the room isn't ready yet and we have to just come back later at 2pm. So we decided to have our lunch nalang since it's already 12!


And sooo... We went out of the hotel and looked for a good place to have our lunch! :D
That my brother (hati siya sorry, bro!) my mom and my dad. :D Yes, they've decided to wear their jackets. :)) (Good idea though kasi it rained e)










So that's the cover of the menu ng restaurant where we had our lunch!! It was tasty. The rice was sticky and kinda oily and we used chopsticks! no forks no spoons! haha. Maybe that's the reason why the rice is sticky! --- so we won't have a difficult time using chopsticks. haha! Anyway, the food was okay. The waitress couldn't understand neither English nor Fukien so medyo natagalan kami sa paghingi ng bill! hahaha! Fun!




So after we ate our lunch, and payed the bill, we decided to go back to the hotel since it's already 2pm. -ready na ang room and we can REST!
pero there were distractions on the way to the hotel..... CAMERA LENSES! hahaha! Dad and I agreed to ask the guy in a shop how much is a 75-300mm canon lens. He said it's for 2800HK$, then after sobrang sandaling tawaran lang naging 2000HK$, haha THEN when I told dad that I'm not yet sure if I want to buy the lens, dad told the guy that we'll just come back later. The guy wont let us go~ HE WAS MAD! He kept on telling me "DONT MAKE EXCUSES! YOUR DAD WAS ABOUT TO PAY BUT YOU SAID GO TO HOTEL? WHY? WHAT'S WRONG?! YOU PAY NOW!" hahahaha that was scary! @.@ I wished I was invisible! hahaha! That time, the guy said we can have the lens for 1600HK$~ IMAGINE! but we didn't buy it anyway. I had to ask pros first... hahaha (incase you don't know, I'm a noob)
So we went back to the hotel, and guess what. I tried to take a photo of my mom and everything's a blur! WHY?! That as$hole from the camera shop left his fingerprints on my camera's lens! damn! What a bitch, right?!

We went to the front desk to get the keys to our room. He gave the keys to our room, 1635. It's on the 16th floor! haha. We were already excited and couldn't wait to get some rest when we realized our room was located at the end of the floor! i don't know if you know about the superstition about hotel rooms that are located at the end of a floor but i tell you, it's bad. So my dad told me to go to the front desk and request for a new room. A room near the elevator. I can tell the guy from the front desk was starting to get irritated! haha! (I got a little irritated rin). So he gave us room 1640. Located at the same floor. See <<<








So here I am blogging about what happened earlier today! It's still raining here in Hong Kong. And it's cold! My fingers are freezing.
I hope JR and I could meet here in HK... since andito rin naman siya. :D haha! My mom, my dad and my brother are asleep! :D HAHA
I will post a blog about the 2nd day of our stay here. We will be staying here for 5 nights and 6 days. :D
I'll be tweeting!
