love it …

… the train system is so efficient. even coming and going to the airport is no problem at all. as long as the place i’m going to is near an mtr station … mararating ko yan!

… shopping !!! sale sign anywhere you go … name brands from US, Europe and Asia … street markets … outlets in tung chung (just bought a new adidas running shoes there!)

… nice places to go to (aside from shopping mall and street markets) … Ngong Ping, Ocean Park, Disney, Kowloon Park, Wetlands, Macau?

… cultural diversity.

… higher salary than in the PH

hate it …

… ewan ko ba, di yata naliligo araw araw ang mga tao dito? or must be the food that they eat? sa totoo lang, 2x or 3x a day ako naliligo pag nandito ako, natatakot ako na baka sa kakasakay ko sa mtr e dumidikit na amoy nila sa kin

… spits/phlegm on the streets (yuuuuuuk!). ewan ko ba! hello?!

… language barrier?

… discrimination? syempre, meron pa rin sa kanila na mababa ang tingin sa mga pinoy. hello?! di ba nila na mas matatalino pa tayo sa kanila

kahit meron akong ayaw dito, i would still love to try living and working here … just for the heck of it.

my team … i’m going to miss this bunch …

On Good Friday each year, thousands flock to San Fernando, Pampanga to witness reenactment of Christ’s crucifixion after a 2-hr Via Crucis is performed on the streets of San Pedro Cutud. I’ve been wanting to go there for the past few years but haven’t got the chance since I usually spend the Holy Week either in Tarlac or for the past 2 years, in Ilocos So when our Ilocos trip was cancelled this year, I finally took the plunge and head for San Fernando instead of just spending the day at home.
