At Central Area, Prizemart Store to be exact(Bought Chocolates for Pasalubongs.Not only chocolates but a lot more.The prices are Cheap(Wholesale)-Tips I got from my Ate Es.There are a lot of Filipinas within this area. They're chit-chatting (tsimising), some offered services such as "Pagupit po kayo!, Manicure, Pedicure etc."
MTR ride Central to TST. Back to Guest House. Yosi Break. Rest for a While.

-Went to Mongkok for additional Pasalubong requested by Mama.(Haggling and Talking to Chinese Tinderas through their Calculators Again.Funny Experience, it’s like you’re playing a patintero with them,they will not let you out of their stalls if you will not buy.haha :-P)
-I bought some of my pasalubongs below Mirador Mansion, less people, more time to choose without tinderas bugging you every minute (a la Mongkok).

It was Sunday then and there was a Fun Run Event, I was informed by a Chinese Officer that Buses were suspended and no rerouting at all. She advised me to take the MTR. Thank God I did my Homework before this trip and I always have my Plan B to Z.Hehehe (Centrum?)
Arrived at the Airport by 615am. Went to 7/F and Look for 5J Aisle and waited for Check-In by 645am. Ate my Baon (Biscuits, Chocolates,Cupcake etc), As usual Pictorial Session again.Hehe. Then it's already Checked in Time.Immigration. Exit. Stamped!
Now looking for my Boarding Gate.Just look for signages, listen to announcements and don't forget to ask for instructions.HKIA is so HUGE. Imagine 1-80 Gates then 500-530 Gates for Terminal 1 only.You need to take an airport train just to get you to the Gates Assigned and Vice Versa when arriving.Now I found my 5J Boarding Gate which is Gate 42.So Gitna siya...Hehehe.. Pictorial.. and Took a Nap and set my phone alarm 30 mins before departure.Mahirap na maiwan sa Istrangerong Lugar.
Bye Hongkong by
945am! Hello Clark Pinas by 1115 am.Then Philtranco Ride to Pasay. Then Taxi
Ride to Home Sweet Home.

On my next visit, I'll make sure that I'll visit the 360 Ngong Pin, Ocean Park,a little Shopping Perhaps (Chos!) and will buy a ticket which is Hongkong Entrance and Macau Exit.
You will ask how much did I spend from my budget (Picture 1stPage)- I didn't spend my USD 500 (P20000), I only spent my HKD most likely P12000- P15000
excluded of airfare.
