Hong Kong Day 2: Disneyland + Outfit Post

During our second day at Hong Kong, my family and I scheduled a trip to the happiest place on earth: DISNEYLAND. Honestly, as mature as I can be, I can't resist releasing my childish behavior when it comes to Disneyland. You can't blame me for that one, who could ever do such thing if they know they'll be paying a visit to a wondrous and dazzling place? (Already thinking of singing A Whole New World)



We had to be eaten by a Mickey Mouse themed train in order to reach the resort. Not for long, we arrived at Disneyland. It was really early by the time we got there. We decided to be early birds because we wanted to have a photo in front of the entrance without a pool of people in the way. It's just too unfortunate for us to not have my brother that day since he got sick.



Side-by-side shops! My kind of mall strolling gig!


Since we came early, we had to fill our stomach with something. Would you like to share with me this Mickey Mouse Waffle? I'm sorry, I've digested it already about a week ago :)


Believe it or not, Pluto is my most favorite Disney character. Why? Well, it's interesting that he is the only animal who can't talk. I wonder what was on Walter's mind why he decided to mute Pluto and make him as another animal's pet when Goofy can freely talk and stand just like the rest of Mickey's gang.


Aurora's (Sleeping Beauty) Castle. This is the place where the fireworks display was held.


Toy Story land! My favorite place! 


We went to Adventure land and went straight to Grizzly Gulch just to have my face on that wall! See, spell childish!


Here's a photo during the fireworks display. I wasn't able to get a better shot because of those people in front of me.



Moving on the the outfit post. I wanted to wear something casual and comfortable especially when I tend to get all hyped up with the rides I could enjoy. So, I wore a pair of shorts, simple top and a pair of rubber flats so I could run around without having to kill my legs and feet! Oh and for the beanie, well, to keep my hair in place. The wind kept blowing my hair all over my face so I put it on.



I initially wore a coat because it can get really cold in the morning. Like I said, we went there really early. I took it off in the afternoon since I can already bear the not-so-cold temperature.

Hong Kong Day 1: Highlights + Outfit Post


My first day in Hong Kong for 2012 would probably best described as FUN and TIRING at the same time. It was really fun because I got to stroll around the city in the hope of being able to buy some gifts for myself and, family and friends. Unfortunately, the fun part was just about 45% of the overall experience because walking from place to place for the whole day wasn't just my style. I mean, I walk and even run around our subdivision for cardio but wandering around this big city was different. Anyway, I did have a great time in Hong Kong this year!


We stayed at Tsuen Wan for 5 days, in L Hotel Nina et Convention Centre to be exact.

The 2 connected buildings on the left side is L hotel. 


You can go directly to a mall called Citywalk located right just outside the hotel. Well actually, that mall is also connected to it. Outside and at the center of the mall, you can find their Christmas-themed decorations, well suited for the Holidays!


Noodles, noodles, noodles. I've been eating this for about a week. No, not everyday though.


I walked around the streets of Tsuen Wan and here's the market place.


When I came back to the hotel, I brought home these cute bags from New Town Mall, a mall located a bit far from the hotel. Yes, I can walk at least that much! These bags only cost $50.00 EACH. I'm currently using the rucksack bag for school. Perhaps, these two might be my greatest thrift buys for 2012. 


For the first day in HK, I wore this super breezy attire. It wasn't that cold during that specific time so I was still able to wear sheer clothing. Basically, I wore something super comfortable because I had to walk around for hours. I don't know what'll happen to my feet and legs if I wore wedges... Although I find wedges comfortable to use, it is still preferable to wear flats if you want to enjoy strolling.

For my next post, let me give you all a preview. Isn't it too obvious already? :)

Christmas Day, Hong Kong Night



My family and I flew to Manila to celebrate Christmas day because it has been about 5 years since the last time we went home to celebrate the Holiday. When we got to Manila, we went straight to our Grandmother's house and not for long, we visited Lola Onying's house for the yearly reunion and the whole FAMILY came!

Although not ALL came, I'm still happy to see my cousins, godfathers, godmothers, god-siblings and such!

I really am so happy to see them. What a great way to celebrate Christmas! I'm looking forward to see them again next year.

The next day, my family and I went to Hong Kong for a trip. Our flight was scheduled in the afternoon. To kill the time and break the ice, we took some photos while waiting for our flight.


 We arrived by 7PM and all of us were tired from the 2-hour trip. We immediately took our baggage and
 took a cab which went straight to L Hotel Nina et Convention Centre in Tsuen Wan.

Oh but before I proceed, let me share a video of my crazy sister doing the moon walk! haha!


Here's the view from the hotel. Our room was located on the 55th floor, allowing me to capture bird's eye view shots like this.

For my next entry, I'll be putting up my first outfit post for this year! Teaser? Here you go!

Clicks + Stitches x The Handmade turban Shoot



Few weeks ago, I had a fun shoot with Mia, although it was for a while, I had a great time capturing photos of her while having conversation in the process. 
We've known each other since high school so there weren't any odd vibes around the time we met, plus, we're neighbors! Perks of having a fashion blogger as your neighbor I should say :) Without further ado, here are the photos I took with Mia Durano, The Handmade Turban.















Well, that's all for now. For my next post, let me give you a quick teaser photo :)

Welcome 2013!


Another year has passed and a new one's ready to be acknowledged. We've conquered 2012 and now let's welcome 2013!

How was the Holiday? Mine was great! Although it was tiring, my Christmas and New Year's celebrations were both awesome. For my Christmas celebration post, I'm planning postpone it for a few days because I still have to filter my photos and such. Also, I need more time arranging my stuff since I just got back from Manila this evening. For now, let me share to you guys how I celebrated my 1st day this year.

Well, nothing fancy, really. My family and I were all tired from the trips we had since December 26, we barely had time to sleep because of the hectic schedule and not to mention the congested road of Manila which really made my head ache BIG TIME! Basically, I just slept throughout the New year's eve. 

I kept tweeting last night about how dreadful my New year's eve was because I had to share a room with my sister. She can really cause pain at night, literally. My back still hurts from last night because of her karate kicks and punches. Before we went to hit the sack, we goofed around a bit.



We went to my grandmother's house to say goodbye this morning. We weren't able to stay long in Manila and it's really unfortunate for us since it has been 5 years since we last met. I love my grandmother so much and it pains me to see her in her current condition, but I have no say in it. That's God's plan.

And yes, believe it or not, that's all there is for my January 1, 2013 post. Before I end, I want to inspire everyone with this 3-word-message: EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!


This year, let's chase new adventures without hesitation! Let's make this year a year of new "FIRSTS". Let us not forget to ask God's guidance in the process!

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." -Philippians 4:13
