Vacation mode is not yet over but work mode is definitely on!
We did not have enough time to rest from our vacation from HongKong.
The following day, we have to attend the 9am mass at Bulacan, coming from Paranaque. So we have to wake up early again just for the mass. And we have to pack our stuff since we will be staying at Bulacan until New Year.
Then I have to get the documents needed for me to prepare my payroll. We went back to Manila to attend a Baptismal of our office mate's grand daughter and I'm the ninang. We weren't able to make it at the rites but followed at the reception instead.
We then went to Omar's lolas near Banawe to meet the other relatives to give courtesy for the holidays.
Then back to Bulacan, not to rest but to finish my payroll.
Happy New Year!

Booboos
The night before, I deleted all the photos in my memory card so I would have enough space for our HongKong trip.
And guess what? I left the memory card in my laptop and found out about it at the airport.
Therefore, no photos for me on our first 2 days. Still, we have enough cameras to use - Mommy's, Kuya's and Jenny's.
Since I'm 1month pregnant and will be growing big soon, no shopping for me. Good thing that almost all items on sale were Winter clothes so it doesn't feel really bad at all. Still, I took the rides even if expectant mothers were not allowed to take the ride, as long as Summer will be allowed to take the ride. Summer was my gauge.
It was tiring. Summer had fun. That matters most.

HongKong Day 4
It's time to go home.
We were picked up from the hotel at 11:30am to catch our 2pm flight. Flight was delayed to 3:50pm and we were given vouchers for meals while waiting for the flight.
The flight was so booked that each was seated separately, including Summer. We do not mind not seating next to each other but definitely not for Summer. They posted a message in their computer to look for 2seats available for me and Summer and will just inform me at the gate.
At the gate, still no seats for us. They asked us to stay at the gate while everybody boarded for they will still have to ask the passengers seated next to Summer if they would allow us to change seats. At past 4pm, we were able to board the plane and we were seated, all three of us - Omar me and Summer, together!
Back to work mode. Enough vacation mode.

HongKong Day 3
It's Disneyland Day!
Oh I'm so excited! Not just for myself, but for Summer and Omar too. It's their first to be at Disneyland. How I love Minnie Mouse!
First thing I did when I stepped into Disney was to buy Summer her Mickey Mouse ears.
We took the Jungle Cruise ride and saw Lion King, and went to the Buzz Lightning. Summer cannot take the Space mountain yet so I took her to the Orbitarium. After having lunch, we went to Autopia. It was a long line that Summer fell asleep. Good thing she was excited enough to wake up when we got to ride the car. The attendant gave her her driver's license as a reward for waking up and not crying.
Summer loved watching the parade, waving left and right to the mascots and at the floats. 
I then brought her to the characters for picture taking. We saw Belle, Mulan, and Minnie Mouse. She took the carousel ride too. Then, we just have to watch the Parade once again and they had artificial snow. We also went to see Santa's workshop.
We saw Mickey opening the lights of the ice castle and stayed to wait for the fireworks. Right after the fireworks, Summer leaned on her Ninang Jenny to sleep. She was just so dead tired!
Up to now, she just can't stop telling everyone how she saw Minnie Mouse and doorBELLE. She is that silly!

HongKong Day 2
We had our city tour.
We went to the fishing village to see the Jumbo Restaurant, to the peak to see the cityscape of Hong Kong, and to the jewelry factory and bought their magnet bangles.
We bought our digicam on our second day too.
We were just too tired walking along Nathan, we did not go to the Harbour Center anymore and at Mongkok for their night market. We went to bed early for our Disneyland tour the following day.

Ocean Park
It was jammed packed!
It was a holiday, so many tourists and residents went to the park. The hot air balloon was closed for the day due to strong winds.
We had our lunch first at the Lowlands. Tried some soup and rice topping - the only available hot food yet.
We took the cable car ride to the High lands and Summer had fun! So fearless! She was even laughing at her Ninang Bing who was shrieking from fear.
We took the River ride too. Summer laughed when the log ride reached the water. She got wet.
We went to see the Dolphin show, the aquariums, and the panda. She learned something new at Hong Kong - panda bears.
The little girl was so happy, dancing while walking around. Sulit na!

HongKong Day 1
We left our house at 4am to catch our flight to Hong Kong via Cathay Pacific.
Mr. Lee of Continental Travel picked us up at the airport and brought us to our hotel, The Kimberley Hotel. We checked in to our room but we got a smoking room so we returned our keys and requested for non smoking rooms instead. Rooms were not yet available so we deposited our luggages and off we went to tour Hong Kong.
Here are some photos from Manila airport to Hong Kong airport.
