... am walking on sunshine... oh and moonlight!
Rony got home late last night from Disney... poor bubu, all tired from work... so after i kept him company for dinner, we went straight ahead and watched House of Wax... so dumb... I swear... quite predictable... well we started it na and although Rony was falling asleep at the beginning he stayed up with me and tortured ourselves for the rest of the night...
Went around Tsim Sha Tsui... to the space museum we went... saw this human body film on a huge ass dome screen, as in the screen was a huge dome... super larger than life... almost fell asleep on that one, but some parts were interesting... not so bad... then took a quick tour of the space gadgets and stuff... well... i think my brother would have appreciated it more... i'm not too much of a space technology fan. However what I enjoyed the most were the ancient methods in which various civilizations (Mayan, Egyptians, Native Americans, etc.) observed the cosmos even creating their accurate 365 calendars, my my... we earthlings are indeed curious beings hehe...
After that to the Avenue of the Stars we went, I guess it's like the Hollywood walk of fame with Hong Kong Stars and their hand prints on the ground...
Really fun taking pics and walking around. Had an awesome view of the Hong Kong skyline and the weather was perfect, not hot not cold... My bubu and I had fun being "tourists" and doing all the touristy things people get to do hehe. I loved it. Am gonna miss spending time with Rony *sigh*
Actually the real reason why am here in HK is cause I am doing a foreign film to be entered in the Asian Film Festival in Bangladesh, am playing myself ofcourse, see?
Anyhoo... after taking pictures we decided to walk around Nathan Road and got my sister this really nice tube-dress or whatever u call it, of course I had to explain that it was for her to the Chinese woman helping me cause she was looking at me funny. Came across this street where they named me...
How apt!?
Had dinner at this Chinese Teahouse, awesome food, sweet and sour pork curry friend rice is all we needed to calm our tummy... tried this weird chicken and scallops wrapped in some kind of gooey rice wrap... hmmm... okay lang...
the pig that I am...
Then at the Starbucks Rony and I went to the first time I went to HK... we're just making more memories together... lovely ain't it?
Then off we went back to Avenue of the Stars to watch the light spectacle... Bubu and I were by the pier looking over the skyline once again... I would like to say that I was thrilled... but it was a bit unexciting... still, Rony and I got awesome shots... and we don't have none of that in our dear old mother land so I was impressed with the lasers rays shooting out from the buildings and the colorful lights.
After the light show, stopped by Harbor City mall and checked out the stores, got a foundation from Mac (you know, Mac? You can buy all the make up that mac can make?--- Unpretty by TLC) so I have one for the next show I do...
Saw a ship and why not pose like a pirate?
Arrrhhh....
Then took two ferry rides before finally docking to Discovery bay. Stopped by the grocery and bought food for tomorrow's lunch with Rony's friend (who happens to be one fo my brothers schoolmates back in elementary--- small world)...
Tired, but I had a splendiferous time with my bubu...
Love you! Mwah ;p
Haaay, Hong Kong--- Live it, Love it!
Good night world!

... the rundown...
so im here in Hong Kong, been out a couple of times, went shopping in Mong Kok, Dinner and a ferry Ride to Hong Kong Central, Of course spending two days in Disneyland (hotel and park), it's been so great so far. I spend the earlier part of the day though just hanging out here at home, maybe even going to the Discovery bay Plaza to have lunch--- food trippin, reading the Sweet Charity Script, watching DVDs, I'm not bored at all. Life here, as I have experienced it thus far, is so relaxed, well maybe cause I'm on vacation.
There is also a huge sense of independence where you're here in HK. The efficient bus schedules and MTR routes are just so convenient, you can practically go anywhere in HK and won't feel like you're lost at all. Ofocurse I have yet to explore and wonder HK by myself. I gotta try it one of these days, but I'd rather share the memories of HK with Rony... at least that way there's someone to take pictures! hehe...
Cooked a nice meal for Rony last night. Well, it was a rather simple meal really. Breaded pork chops for Rony and ginataang calabas at sitaw for me (Squash and Long Beans in coconut milk sauce--- in-English pa talaga, why not?)--- Rony doesn't eat gulay mind you.
So yun from work Rony got home as I was preparing the meal---taught him how to bread the pork chop so it wouldn't be too boring and a little more crispy and golden when cooked. Yum! I am not the best cook in my family (my siblings are awesome, they got they're own specialties i.e. my older brother Alexis copies from what he tastes in restaurants, My sister Faye is an expert in Filipino food as in Adobo, Sinigang, Pinakbet, Kare-Kare, and Ate Roma, Alexis' wife and Carlo the youngest experiment with flavors and mixes of food that they do not know what to name their recipes, but they come out excellent though, me--- prito and pasta hehe--- pababy effect sa bahay--- I give the money they make the food and I slice the ingridients or wear an apron and "supervise" hehe ), but the least of the best as Rony put it, is good enough for him!
So I made some creamy-mushroom sauce for the pork chops and the ginataang calabasa and sitaw was all mine (kasi I miss the food na din at home eh, that's why I made it)! I love grocery shopping and yesterday I was thrilled to be walking around Park and Shop and living the Stepford wife/Desperate Housewife experience... Bought Rony some spices, Green seedless grapes, the yogurt was on sale so I got that too... as in food shopping here reminded me so much of how it was in the States... fun fun fun!
Lunch at subway yesterday and saw Rallion Alonso (Shark's brother--- basta he's a theatre person in the Philippines) and his girlfriend Des so I stopped by and said hello. After that went over to Watsons to by lubrication... er... for the squeaky screws on Rony's door... KIDDING PEOPLE!!! anyway came across this 3 day detox drink diet... I was curious--- I bought it, but I probably won't even try it. Shet...
Cleaning lady was here at Rony's place today, she cleaned, I slept till 3. She left at 5 and now I'm here... thinking of what to cook for Rony. Don't know if we're going out tonight, we like to be spontaneous and just go with the flow sometimes, there are always night markets and what-nots here so I'm sure there's still something to do.
Last night bubu and I cuddled and watch the first four episodes of the 2nd season of Desperate Housewives... felt nice to be watching in darkness while Rony is right next to me... *sigh* I'll miss this!
SO anyway here's a tour of Rony's Peaceful Mansion pad (that's the name of the building)...

... a day in the park with sofronio...
First Rony and I checked in at the Disneyland Hotel (sorry if you've read Rony's blog already, but we got different sets of pics?) hehe
That was fun... room was super neat with a Jacuzzi and everything... *sigh* heaven. Actually the entire theme of the hotel was quite impressive... so very new england Victorian age...
Anyhoo... we went around the hotel, from pretending to be mermaids to trying out the maze... it was amazing...
But here's the best shot...
Rony thought of this pose for me... hihi
The Dumbo ride... Looks like I was having fun noh? Yeah well I'm just pretending... so scared of heights! Look at my bu... so cute and calm... Am glad he was there with me even though we had a little tampuhan... but that's not for blogging...
Had an awesome weekend and am glad I got to spend every minute of it with my Sofronio... Am glad I got to experience this with him, I was like a little kid in the park... with my childhood sweetheart...
THANKS FOR TODAY Bubu! love ya!
mwah!

... the honeymooners...
Am finally free... ah, ah, ahhhhhh!
Okay those lines are from The Little Mermaid, how apt...
There's a cock, I mean Kok on my face. Hehehe, That's Mong Kok actually. Went shopping with Rony at the night market tonight. Super fun walking through the busy streets of town, so bright and alive, full of Chinese people and the weather was nice and breezy. Perfect!
My bu taking a pic of himself while I was buying gumat 7-11... so cyootie! The best part was waking up right next to my bu and cooking breakfast for him. It's like we're married, we just need kids and a cat then it'll be a family, with a home and not just a house... yuck corny...
Lovin' it here... Checkin in at the Disney Hotel tomorrow. Can't wait!
