the last chapter: zulueta @ HK

After 10 years... hehehe... I finally had the chance to finish up the last chapters of the Zulueta's adventure in Hong Kong. =)

Day 3: Ocean Park

February 12 Friday

(www.oceanpark.com.hk)

Again we got our Ocean Park tickets from Ate Yolly of Taisan Guesthouse. From 250 HKD, we got it at 235 HKD. Greatness talaga itong si Ate Yolly.

If our day 2 was a sunny day, forecast during this day was it was going to be cooooooooooold!!! COLD it was!

We took MTR TST to Admiralty Exit B. Then we rode the Citybus Route 629 going to Ocean Park. Here's what we had...

Day 4: Shopping Day

February 13 Saturday

Yiiiiihhh!!! Kala mo may pang-shopping. Hihihi.

We took MTR and our route: MTR TST to Prince Edward Prince Edward to Kowloon Tong Kowloon Tong to Shatin. At Shatin is the SNOOPY'S WORLD! The kids enjoyed here much. We ate lunch at the New Town Plaza mall. Then, we went to Ikea.

After Ikea, we rode MTR again. Route: Shatin to Kowloon Tong Kowloon Tong to Prince Edward Prince Edward to Mongkok. LADIES MARKET! Where the bargain is. Hehehe.

Day 5: Last Day

February 14 Sunday

The family met up with some family friends. They took us for a Kowloon Tour.

There are also a lot of bargains here. Eury got her boots here. Hehehe. We ate lunch at KFC. I wished KFC here in Pinas can also serve egg tarts. Haha! I love their egg tarts.

We went back to the guesthouse to get our things. Then, headed to the airport and waited for our flight...

The end of a great adventure!

What type of shoe are you?

I took this quiz from http://www.femalenetwork.com/ and natawa ako! Hehehe!

Here's the result for me:

You are a ballet flat!

Simple and sensible is the way you roll. The ballet flat is perfect you because it is super practical as far as footwear goes—it lets you move about easily and hassle-free, which is exactly how you like it. You know what you want and how to get it done without breaking any rules and getting into trouble. Your appeal is dainty, sweet, and demure—which a lot of guys love. Sometimes people see you as too traditional—but you prefer to call it classy. Besides, you still know how to have fun—after all, wearing flats let you do whatever you want, for however long you want to do it, without getting swollen feet!

Ang galing! =)

At the 31st Manila International Book Fair!

We went on the third day of the event.

Dada, Eury and I were so excited!!! Hehehe!

Last year pa lang after ng 30th MIBF, iniisip na namin ang 31st. Hahaha!

Sabi ko sa sarili ko, this year, i'll try to buy Eury books that are factual naman. Lagi kasing storybooks ang binibili namin sa kanya. I read somewhere na maganda din iintroduce ang kids sa mga books of facts.

Anyways, enough about my rambling. Here are our finds....

1. Scholastic - ito ang major major na sadya namin because of their bag-all-books-you-can promo. Last year, php1999 ang price nila. I got my Harry Potter set because of this. This year it's only php995. I think it's because limited lang ang stocks nila this time. But that doesn't stop us from doing the bag challenge. Here's what we "bag"(ed). Hehehe!

Worth php5k in original price! Love the bag.

2. Learning is Fun - this station fulfilled my goal this year. Dada bought us a set of great factual books. Eury love them!

"Wow! This is great.", Eury said. (naloka ang nanay!)

3. Lampara Books - you can find coloring and other activity books for as low as php20.

5. Philippine Bible Society - got coloring books for php15

6. Bookmark - I love going here for local books. I got my Noli and El Fili last year for php 100 each. This year...

7. Tahanan - also hold great finds for local books. Check each book for their price. Same books are of different prices. Meron lang konting something yung iba kaya mura pero pwede na!

We were also able to snug some magazines from Summitmedia for only php50. Also bought Clifford DVDs for php99 from Lighthouse Educational Corp.

There are still other booths aside from what I mentioned. It's a great saving to go to this book fair because the publishers themselves are the ones selling. So you're sure that you can get the best price for the books. National Bookstore also have a booth (or a big space I should say) and you can compare the prices.

I'm so tempted to go back but my wallet is saying, "Sorry you can't anymore." Hahaha! Quota na ko so next year na lang ulit. Worth the wait naman e.... =)
