Sky Eye Tagaytay

I just love looking at breathtaking sights. I can stare at them all day. This shot was taken while riding the Sky Eye in Sky Ranch, Tagaytay. Sky Eye is considered as the tallest ferris wheel in the Philippines at 207 ft. You know, I am scaredy cat of heights. In fact, I cried while riding the gondola. Haha! But, my fret instantly got away when I came to realize that I shall conquer my fears! I was lucky enough to catch this breathtaking view with my camera while we were on top. I am planning to ride the Sky Eye again on my next visit. And this time, no more crying! Teehee 

By the way, there are other rides that you can try at Sky Ranch and you have to purchase the tickets for each ride individually. Ride-all-you-can tickets are not yet available at this time.

Sky Eye: P150 

Address: Kilometer 60, Aguinaldo Highway, Tagaytay City (Beside Taal Vista Hotel)

Missing Hong Kong

I can still remember the very first time I traveled via airplane. I was in 5th grade and it was an out-of-the country trip with my family. We paid a visit to my aunt who's based in Hong Kong. She paid for all of our travel expenses including our passports and airline tickets. I've already been to HK for many times and the last time I went there was in 2005 (Christmastime). I've got the opportunity to travel all by myself. I just couldn't imagine that I did that at the age of 19 ( indeed a big check on my bucket list). I was still sort of immature that time but I was able to handle all the stress that I could ever experience from traveling alone.

It was already dinner time when the plane landed at the HK airport. Everything went smoothly. I didn't encounter any problems at the HK immigration and even in getting my luggages from the conveyor.  My aunt fetched me after office hours. We had a quick dinner at Mcdonald's before taking the HK taxi going to her flat. It was freezing cold when I got out of the airport. If I remember correctly the temperature that time was 9-10 degrees Celsius. I've had to borrow my aunt's winter jacket to keep me warm.

Since she can't take a day off work, I just made myself busy going out to do some Christmas shopping for myself & family. Commuting in HK is real safe. Nothing to fret about getting robbed while taking the bus, tram or any puv. I usually take the bus going to Pacific Place from her flat and the fare only costs around 5 HK dollars. I've also been to the IFC Mall, Festival Walk, Landmark, SOGO department store and Times Square Shopping Mall.

But the highlight of my trip to HK was visiting the Disneyland. I was so happy to see my favorite Disney characters up close and personal during the parade. It brought back a lot of my childhood memories. I am missing Hong Kong so much. It's like my second home.

Blissful Weekend

Hey guys! Sup? How’s your weekend? Mine was filled with so much fun. =) As usual, I am here to share with you some of the things that happened to me the last few days.

- In spite of a very bad weather last Sunday, the out-of-town trip with the family still pushed through.

- Yesterday, I just received a text from my brother informing me that his wife is 2 weeks pregnant. 

- I got the chance to see my tita's brand new car. 

- And of course, I am always thankful with all my heart, to Our Lord Jesus Christ for all the blessings He has given us. God is good all the time!
