Living in the Moment: travel 2016

Kayangan Lake, Coron Palawan Philippines

First off, I want to say Happy New Year!!! I hope you had a wonderful NYE and new year's day. Let's welcome 2017 with positivity. <3
To start off my blogging journey this year, I will continue our Coron adventure last November. I am trying to complete my back logs so please bear with me. :) --- Our second day in Coron was so much fun and so much #beachgoals. Yes, it rained but it didn't stop us to have fun and be in the moment! As I was saying on my previous blog post, the storm was also in Coron the moment we landed there. And there's no other way but to pray for a better weather the next day.
Waking up on our 1st island hopping day, I was already checking my phone from time to time to see if there's a notice from the tour agency regarding our island hopping.. if it will be pushed through or not. And it seems like God really loves me so much, our island hopping was pushed through!
The weather was bipolar and it's raining from time to time but fortunately, every time we arrive in a tourist destination, it will stop for awhile so we can enjoy the view. This went on until the afternoon, though before our island hopping finishes, we can already see the sun peeking through clouds! And since it is raining, the water on some of the tourist spots are not clear enough to go snorkeling. But needless to say, it was still a pleasant day.

Our last day in Hong Kong was luckily, also my mother's birthday. So in the back of my head, yey.. birthday treat! haha! We don't have any scheduled activity for the day but we're thinking of going to Sky Terraces 428 as well as visit Madame Tussauds. We didn't book our tickets in the Klook app for this one because we're still not sure if we will visit these prior to the planning of this trip. Luckily, the caretaker of the inn we're staying at is selling discounted tickets of different Hong Kong tourist spots. I forgot how much we saved when we bought our tickets from her but what I can remember is it is still cheaper if we buy our tickets from the Klook app.

Our afternoon activities in Macau consists of going to Senado Square and to see the famous St. Paul Ruins up close. And as I've mentioned on my previous blog post about the Venetian, transportation around is Macau is just a breeze. City of Dreams Macau has got it all covered because they have shuttles that go to and fro different tourist destination around Macau. So right after Venetian, we went to City of Dreams to ride the shuttle and alight at Taipa. From there, we walked our way through Senado Square. It was hard to ask directions from the locals but it's really nice that they try their best to help us. One local even has a translator app in his phone so he can understand where we want to go.

Disneyland is one of Hong Kong's most famous attractions. And you haven't been to Hong Kong if you didn't go to Disneyland! For kids and kids at heart like me, this is definitely a happy place especially if you're a Disney fanatic. I won't deny though, my first time here is more magical compared to my second visit. It feels like I was a kid again. I remember my first time, the parade was sooo cool, and the fireworks was super magical! If I remember it correctly, the song back then was A Whole New World and I was holding back my tears while watching the majestic fireworks show. (no judging please! Haha)

Ever heard of Venice Piazza? I'm sure you've heard it somewhere, or if not, you've already took a selfie in the infamous "bridge". I'm not actually fascinated with Venice Piazza in Mckinley but rather I'm just overwhelmed on how many visitors it has everyday. Working in Mckinley for quite some time now, I would notice the number of people coming in and out of the grand canal. And so when we had a day trip in Macau, I didn't miss the chance to see the Macau counterpart of this famous "pasyalan" spot in Taguig.

This is probably my last beach getaway before summer officially ends. And it may take a while before I probably go to another beachscapade because it's already raining from time to time. The next beach getaway that's planned on my list is still months from now. I would definitely be taking the next coming months to rest for awhile (because every weekend is an adventure this past few months), and try to focus on other stuff.

It was such an awesome vacation! It was actually my second time in Hong Kong but this is the first time I've seen most of its attractions. Though of course, first times will always be the best. The last time I went there, I was with my father and to be honest, the streets somehow changed a little bit.

Also, even though I already went there last 2012, all the pictures (yes all of it) were gone with the wind, and so I don't have any memorabilia with me except for an edited cover photo I had on my personal facebook page taken at HK Disneyland. It was lost together with all the files on my laptop before.

The hard drive is still with me and I've tried to bring it to a recovery center, but to no avail, they can't seem to recover the files. And as we all know, hard drive recovery is not cheap.. I'm still not giving up though.. I believe one day, I can recover the files. Lol Sorry for the rants.
