Day 3 HK
Macau... Macau here i come!!!!
Turbo Jet Ferry (Economy Class)
HK to Macau = HKD 134
Macau to HK (6:30pm onwards) = HKD 176
Direction: take MTR to Sheung Wan then take Exit to Macau Ferry. buy your tickets at the 3/F, then proceed to boarding gate, Travel time is approx. 1 hr.
Important: Bring Passport, as you will be passing by immigrations
Ferry Schedule here
upon reaching Macau, take bus to any desired Hotel (they offer free shuttle service) but i highly recommend
The Venetian
"Manong. pa picture powh!!!"
stopped by for Lunch at Itamae Sushi in the Venetian
the wow view
eel spring roll
sea urchin
salmon & salmon roe
there was a german(?) lady singing ala Lani Misalucha... wow!!
but then the weather is not cooperating with this trip... it was raining the whole day... so i decided to just stay in the Venetian
& played in the Casino
which is really the reason why im excited about this trip hehehehe =)
i played:
SIC BO, meaning dice pair, is an ancient Chinese game of chance played with three dice. The table is elaborately lighted and can sometimes be found in a special section of the casino reserved for Asian games.
It is a very simple game to play, for the object of the game is to either select the individual numbers, or a combination of the numbers, that will appear on the dice after they are shaken and rolled. The betting possibilities and their payoff amounts are depicted on the table layout by showing the faces of the dice in their many combinations. There are single die numbers, two of a kind, three of a kind, or combinations of any two or three of the dice.
info from here
at first i didn't understand the game so i just put my bet (min. bet is HKD50) on the #6, i won almost HKD 900 just by placing HKD50 on #6, i switch table whenever i lost a round, but the more i understood the game... the more i lost ='( pero grabe the people there are not hyper, as in very calm, even though their money is at stake, but i overheard from some mandarin speaking group that there are 2 guys in one of the Baccarat table that hasn't left the casino floor for 2days... grabe!!! jingle lang ang pahinga!!!
& Black Jack
but sadly after more than 6 hours playing... i lost =(
so to ease the pain (drama queen alert!!!) i went to McDonald's for dinner. now now now... pakibaba ang kilay... McDonald's outside Philippines has the best Grilled Chicken Burger (i wonder why they don't have it here & i always have it wherever im in HK or China)
Grilled Chicken Burger
sorry for the blurry photo... pero basta you have to try it... super sarap!!!
French Fries
+ Seaweed Flavoring
= yum yum yum YUM!!!!!!
even though i didn't get to see the rest of Macau & i lost ='( it was definitely a trip worth remembering, i told my story in Macau to my brother as soon as i got back & im planning a trip for us, hopefully early next year.... babawiin ko natalo sa akin... bwahahahahaha!!!
what i wore:
bossini cover up
mango tank
eairth pants

Day 2 HK
Day 2 was meant for Central, TST & Causeway Bay & to help me plan everything out... i need the help of this
when youre in hk, its super hard to ask around for directions, i remember i was in Cuaseway bay & it was raining hard, so i have a bit trouble navigating the map, i stop by a boutique & asked for direction to the nearest MTR, the SA told me that she didn't know where it was... HELLO? pano naman di nya alam? everyone uses it no!!! then as i walked, grabe as in 20 steps... MTR na pala.... so this map was super useful for this trip!!!
i saw LIGER through nitrolicious & check out her visit here
this tata baby bags were out of stock & has a long wait list

i think i saw a hk celebrity inside the store with her stylist. if i ever open up my own store, it would probably be like Liger... with super select labels & minimal pieces per collection.

now i did visit the COMME DES GARÇONS UNDER THE GROUND in Central
pic via wallpaper
(check out more pix here) VM was super nice, simple, straight to the point, very minimalist... my only complain was the AC... i was drenched when i got in, but their AC was in 16c kaya super brrrr..... + they don't let shoes inside the Fitting Room, tapos the flooring was in cement, as in no wooden tiles kaya double brrrrrr...
but it was raining hard that i didn't take a pic anymore but it's super worth the visit... too bad that they don't have my size for the
CDG x Converse shoe that i was looking for.
COMME DES GARÇONS PLAY
i stopped by a chinese restaurant in central for lunch & had super spicy shrimp curry & iced milk tea (when i say super spicy... as in naiyak ako sa anghang!!)
the only marc by marc jacobs that has special items... but super limited designs =(
