Term break

Greetings, losers who probably aren't even on their term break yet, sipping on pina coladas by the bomb ass beach and chillaxing every single day! Well, okay, I'm not at the beach and I've never tasted a pina colada in my life, but I am on term break and I am chillaxing! Awwww yeeeeeehhhhh! My break started with a bang! I got home to my house from the dorm, crashed on my bed and literally started crying from sleep deprivation and exhaustion. Yeeeee booiiiiii! Okay, give me a break! I had not slept in 36 hours then just studying for my Literature finals. But that's all behind me now! I am now dedicating my life (read: 3 weeks) to whatever the fuck I want. Nothing can stop me from consuming 10 donuts a day or drinking scotch at 8am or burning my required readings (all things I would never do, but I would if I could). Speaking of 10 donuts, I don't even feel the LEAST bit guilty when I eat excessive crap, because I DESERVE [need] THIS [to keep me sane].

Okay, so my break just started the other day, but I've already finished season 1 of Breaking Bad. It is so great and it's a bit dragging at the start, but I am so thrilled for my season 2 download to finish (which will be NEVER because something is up with our wi-fi connection). Right now, kids are playing and screaming outside my house and I haven't thrown rocks at them! I'm fighting the urge to lock them up in a basement, but I haven't done it yet! That's how good I feel about this break.

All these good feelings make me want to give back. You know I don't wear half of what's in my closet? I'm thinking of selling it and giving proceeds to charity or something, but it's so hard, because I don't trust anyone. My English professor's friend is heavily involved in one of our local non-government operated charities and she claims that a lot of the profit doesn't actually go into helping anyone. So, let it be known that right now, I am promising not to fuck up my life so that one day I will help people. And maybe you might be saying "grrrrrlll please the only things you talk about are thousand dollar shoes" but fuck you all I will succeed and make this world a better place!

I think that's a bit much for a blog post so I'm ending this now. I suck at this, I never have any pictures, but trust me, my photography skills are horrifying and my face is worse, so just enjoy these black marks on your screen!

Adios! Time for me to get back to relaxing!

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!
