I was in Hong Kong last week for business, not for leisure and pleasure and shopping (sadly). But I was still able to get some fun and appreciation for it… After all, free travel is still travel. I got some groceries and skincare products that aren’t available here and stayed in a nicer hotel compared to if I were to go on my own to pursue my own reasons why I am going there. 😆

My biggest takeaway from this trip was experiencing that unexpected turbulence in our flight back to Manila on Wednesday night, just a few hours before my birthday. To begin with, the weather wasn’t looking good last Monday and I was worried that the trip won’t push through, despite being a very very short visit. Thankfully we didn’t get to experience heavy rains during our stay; only drizzles, no major rainfalls or typhoons.

A month ago, I shared a photo on Facebook from the Ayala Triangle park. I wanted so badly to go there because (in the photo) it looked so nice and very inviting. Look at it, doesn’t it look warm, cozy, Christmas-y, and like.. it’s calling you to just go there and watch the light show (that happens every 30 minutes)?! Because that’s exactly how it made me feel when I saw that photo.

Shot this one as soon as we got in the area of Ayala Triangle Gardens

Got my wish granted last night. . . my friends and I finally visited this go-to attraction and I finally witnessed these lights with my very own eyes. Needless to say, it was a very exhausting experience that I lost my mood to enjoy it. 🙁 But at least I still got to see it, pwede na rin. I did not expect that this place is that much far from the Ayala malls.. plus we were going to this place and to Ayala back in forth in such a hurry (we had to catch a 7:55pm showing of a movie) so it really drained my energy both to enjoy and appreciate the whole thing.
