2009 Business Trip #2 - Manila (Day 3)

There are not many attractions in the city of Manila. Fort Santiago is one of the most popular sight-seeing points. This is the so called "Walled City".
The oldest stone church in the Philippines, where Dicky Cheung get married last month.
City view from the water promenade of Manila Bay.
The first hotel in the Philippines, Manila Hotel, which is a 5-star hotel founded in 1912. A perfect filming location for Wong Kar Wai's film.

2009 Business Trip #2 - Manila (Day 2)

I am just a perfectionist, i really enjoy seeing all the goodie bags are in "PERFECT" order. I am so obsessed with the absolute tidiness, even though i know the guests will disrupt the tidiness in a split of a second.
Glad to see the audience are interested in our video.
People here in Manila are very helpful and cheerful, not to mention our business partners in the EK Manila Office.
Nice view from a fly over - on the way to shopping mall, Greenbelt
People always bring ice cream as a souvenir, so I tried the ube flavour of this famous ice cream brand, Magnolia. The flavours are great, but it is not very smooth though.
A well decorated cake shop in the shopping mall. The cookies are nicely done! In HK, they must be sold at hkd30-40. The shop here just sells them at HKD10 each, no wonder i am buying THREE. They are very lovely.

2009 Business Trip #2 - Manila (Day 1)

I am surprised that Manila is just 2-ish hours away! This is my first time to visit Manila, Philippines. The airport is very 80's, and it is actually something very similar to our old Kai Tak Airport.
We stayed in the best hotel (i think) in the CBD of Manila, and it is located very close to the so-called shopping malls, like the English version of 友誼商店.
I went to the grocery store in "The Landmark" to buy the Mango-products. Let's become a Mango-holic this week!

Shangri-La Makati, Manila

View from my hotel room @ 1707
A big cross-road at the CBD of Manila
The 7D dried mangoes are not cheap, so i did not buy many!
They are sold at Php111, which is equvilent to hkd20.

小野麗莎 first show in Hong Kong

小野麗莎的PR相好似廣末涼子......你覺得嗎??
Concert 的價錢其實可以買到6隻CD, 但Live Band的演奏真的值回票價, 大家也好欣賞Live Band各人每粒音的演出, 我最愛的是吹flute 及 saxophone的女仔Hitomi San.
最後亦要讚吓自己, 訂票訂得怏, 個位非常清楚, 仲好過地下第一行呢! Good Job, Meiling!

Grandma has passed away

We have been able to see her on Saturday night. I think she feels completed after seeing Carson last night, and she passed away this early morning.
It's been a very difficult period for Dad especially.
Grandma always secretly bought me chips and Yakult when she picked me up from Kindergarten, and i was addicted to chips thereafter.
She would not suffer from the pain anymore, and may peace is with her.

Springtime

Spring has arrived for a couple of weeks already as you can feel the moisture in the air. Though people and cameras may not like the humidity, but my plants are all very happy for the arrival of spring. They are just beautiful!
