I ♥ HK

Last night I got back from my trip to Hong Kong! Those four days were so much fun and exactly what I needed during my 3 week break from the hell hole that is Ateneo. I have missed Hong Kong dearly and it was so great to be back. Everything I loved was still there, but better! So many new malls now!

I love the weather in HK. Sunny, but still cool. I was able to wear my thick jackets, finally! Plus, everyone was so stylish! It was like "Oh just going to buy some fruits in my 5 inch fur booties".
Only two things I disliked in HK:
1. Everyone kept talking to me in Chinese. There was even one guy who chased me while shouting something in Mandarin as I was running to catch the train.
2. I looked like everyone else.

The first day was spent sleeping because Dad (who is an insomniac) didn't get sleep for days and I had no sleep either because I slept over at a friend's house the day prior. So we all woke up at 5pm and went to Mongkok right away! We walked so much. I bought a ton of random stuff at the Night Market, but no clothes or shoes or accessories. Oddly enough, there were only a few stalls that sold necklaces and rings and bracelets and none of them were nice.
We entered boutiques and malls too. I had a field day in H&M! Dad I got back to the hotel at 1am with sore feet and empty wallets!

Walking to the subway (Dad thinks he's some kind of photographer)

I love me some H&M!

The next day was just Dad & I because the others decided to go to Macau while we opted to stay in Kowloon for more shopping! We went to Central first for more H&M and there we bought stuff for Mom & Jed. Then we went to Tung Chung for the outlet stores. Dad and I separated because he was exhausted and I wanted to go around some more. That was when I saw On Pedder. A ton of designer shoes on sale. There was the Atacoma, the Louboutins, and the one I want BANANAS for were the Nicholas Kirkwood x Rodarte booties! I lacked a little less than 1000HKD to be able to buy them! Sadly Dad wasn't around so I bid the shoes adieu (notice I didn't say GOODBYE ;)). After Tung Chung we were extremely tired so we went home already.

At the station. What is mataba?

At this super cool cafe/boutique called Initial. I used the glass as a mirror and when I stopped to look at my reflection a cute guy was inside looking. :">

The next day Dad had to work so it was just my Uncle and I shopping around Tsim Sha Tsui. We eventually parted since he had to buy shoes and perfumes for my Aunt while I wanted to look at clothes. I walked so many blocks and got lost for a while, but found my way back again. I got super excited when I purchased shoes that look almost exactly like the Addison Topshop wedges I have been wishing for! Got it for 1/3 the price too! I also fell in love with this boutique called Basic. They have the most amazing stuff at such cheap prices. I was this close to buying an amazing sheer + leather dress, but they didn't allow customers to fit the clothes and we all know what a huge problem that is for a big girl like moi. :( Maybe next time when I'm a skinny bitch.

The last day in HK was just a bunch of last minute shopping trips for people back home. No photos because we were all such in a hurry!

I cannot wait to go back to HK. Maybe next time I'll stay for a week because there is so much more to buy!
