Three hours lay-over in HK

December 12, 2017 Tuesday HK airport

CX 892 left Manila on time.
I fell asleep on the flight maybe for about half an hour but I was still feeling sleepy when we arrived in HK at 10 pm.

It used to be called stop-over ngayon lay-over na. Bakit kaya?

With three hours lay-over, Edmund wanted to go straight to the airport lounge but Oyen wanted to walk around. Exercise.

We went inside the Hermes boutique.

Going inside Hermes boutique stores is one of my travel traditions. Not buying just going. Tip— it’s better to patronize one or two stores only so that the sales personnel get to know you. Your profile will be in their computer system. When you want to buy their most desired handbag, the B, you have a better chance of being considered. Not 100% sure, but maybe.

Yen liked a cute yellow bag.

I liked naman this tote bag. It can hold documents. It’s reversible too.

Bawal pang mag-shopping ano. We haven’t even reached our destination baka maubos na baon. Uuwi na kami agad. Ooopps turn around, Manila-HK-Manila.

My daughter said the tote bag is light and pwede sa akin. I’ve been having shoulder pains and my right elbow is 24/7 painful kaya my family is now conscious not to let me carry heavy stuff.

She was enabling me to buy the bag. Baka daw next time we come back on our flight back to Manila, wala na ito, someone had bought it already. Eh okay lang. I always say even if you buy a bag every week, when you go back to the store, there will always be something you will like again. So don’t worry if you are not able to buy the one that you’ve seen. When you are in the mood to make a purchase, I am sure you’ll find something else. To those who cannot afford to buy a Hermes, naku, don’t feel sad and bad. Bag lang yan. Hindi yan importante sa buhay nyo. Never feel envious. Go to Greenbelt at hawak-hawakan nyo yung display. Tapos umuwi na. Don’t feel bad about it.

What is this? Traveler? Passenger? Jetlagger? Pulubier?

I thought of bringing this home kasi dagdag kalat sa mundo. Pero dagdag kalat naman sa bahay namin. Huwag na nga. Tapon na lang. #savetheearthfromplastics

We forgot that we have a plane to catch. We heard our names being called,
“calling the last three passengers on Cathay Pacific____ , Edmund Yee, Annie Tan-Yee, Maria Julienne Tan Yee …… final boardin…” Takbo kami.
Cathay to the US,  boarding

We were last to board (again).
