Ruins of St. Paul Cathedral and Senado Square Macau Tour

chymera00 — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 22:32:58 +0000

We were having such a great time at the Venetian Macau that we could have enjoyed spending the whole day playing at the casino and doing photo ops at its grand halls but we needed to carry on to our next destination since we were flying out back to Manila the same day. Now off to Macau’s most famous landmark, the ruins of Saint Paul Cathedral and Senado Square!

Dumaguete and Siquijor Tour in Six Days and Five Nights

chymera00 — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:12:35 +0000

I’m so happy to kick-off my year of traveling with my first out-of the-region trip this year to Dumaguete City and Siquijor via Kabankalan City (Negros Occidental). I was so pumped about the trip since it’s my first time to visit the genteel City of Dumaguete and the mystical island of Siquijor.

The Venetian Macau – Macau Tour Part 1

chymera00 — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 07:00:00 +0000

Now for my favorite part of our whole Hong Kong and Macau Tour! I actually like to explore historical places better than going through themed attractions. I feel more at home walking through old streets and districts. We woke up very early that morning to catch the ferry to Macau at 7:15am in Hong Kong’s Macau Ferry Terminal. The travel time took around one hour … I slept through the whole ride. We were already in Macau when I woke up

Free Apple iPad Giveaway – I want one!

Having a digital assistant is very important for a travel blogger or even traveling in general. I bought an iPod touch just recently and I love it! not only does it keep me entertained but with so many apps available, it has made me more productive even when I’m on the road. Mostly I use it to read travel research I did prior the trip (like travel itineraries), make notes while I’m on the trip (so I keep track of everything), make things to do lists, view calendar entries, view offline Google Maps (neat, huh?).

Symphony of Lights Show in Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong

chymera00 — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 07:00:00 +0000

The Symphony of Lights Show was one of my top things to see in Hong Kong. Actually, just seeing the Hong Kong skyline was already an exciting thing for me. The Symphony of Lights show is a synchronized display of lights and laser accompanied by symphony music, featuring 44 buildings on both sides of the Victoria Harbor of Hong Kong. The show lasts for 14 minutes and starts 8pm daily.

Ocean Park Hong Kong

chymera00 — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:48:03 +0000

After out tour of Hong Kong’s Victoria Peak, we proceeded to our next destination, the famed Ocean Park of Hong Kong. I was so looking forward to this place since the only other theme parks I’ve visited so far was Disneyland Hong Kong, which I’m not the biggest fan of, and Enchanted Kingdom, which pales in comparison to a theme park this size.

My whole 3rd week of January was swamped with covering the Dinagyang Festival. It got really hectic during the weekend trying to balance my time covering the various events, bonding with school friends, meeting online buddies, preparing photos and videos to be posted ASAP, and catching up on sleep.

Victoria Peak Hong Kong Tour

chymera00 — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 07:00:42 +0000

After arriving at Starferry Pier in Central Hong Kong, it took us a while to get to the lower terminus of “The Peak Tram.” It’s quite far and you’d have to take a few turns. Luckily there were a lot of Filipinos in the area, who were very helpful in pointing us to the right direction. Central Hong Kong during Sunday looks more like Hong Kong’s “Little Philippines.” In the areas that we walked passed, it seemed 50% of the people there were Pinoys (or looked like they were from the Philippines at least).
