Awesome Hong Kong-Macau Weekend (Part 1)

In January, my girl friends found a seat sale and impulsively booked themselves on a round trip flight to Hong Kong at Php 4000 each. Before they booked, they invited me but I had to say no since I was trying to save money at that time. But after a day or two, I finally decided to go with them, but only the flight back was on sale, and my round trip fare amounted to Php 7000+. Gosh, if I only knew I'll be coming, I should've asked them to book for me the same time they did. But during the trip, I realized that my plane fare was worth it!:)

March 17 was our flight. I had to go through an earlier flight ('coz it's cheaper). My flight was at 7pm while my friends' flight was at 10pm. But again, I had no choice but to go to the airport alone. Unfortunately, I left my other cellphone in the cab as I went down the airport. I forced myself to feel okay despite what happened. I read a book while having coffee and waiting for my boarding time.



The time of my arrival in HK was the time of the departure of my friends from Manila. One of my friends came from Singapore and had a connecting flight from Manila to HK. I waited for 4 hours in Hong Kong International Airport. Thank God they got a really nice airport. Plus I was so thankful that BBM worked on wifi. Because of that, my friend Rein who's living in HK met me up in the airport with her mom. They even treated me for dinner.

My friends arrived at 1am. God, it was freaking cold as we got out of the airport. We didn't pack right because according to my research, it was not as cold in HK  anymore at that time. It was only when I got in Manila International Airport Terminal 3 that Rein texted me that temperature in HK suddenly dropped. Gosh, I was kind of in trouble since I didn't pack any thick clothes. All I had to save me from that weather were just a couple of cardigans and a pair of jeans. I even left my stockings/leggings at home.

We took a cab going to the condo unit of Thina's aunt who works as an FA in Cathay Pacific. Good thing she's in Manila so the place was all ours.:)

When we arrived in the room, we freshened up, had dinner and watched a DVD movie. We slept at around 4am looking forward to fantastic day when we wake up.
