I wanna be able to see HK yearly, and experience the feeling of watching a concert there, doesn't matter whose, but HK is the best place to watch a concert... for me at least. It's also a perfect place to get away from the stress in Manila. In HK, I have two real sisters. I introduce them as my sisters. Which is odd 'coz after a few days in HK, we're back to being cousins.
HK stored tons of memories of mine. Since Day 1 when I stepped into Tong Lo wan (Causeway Bay) about 20 years ago. I Wondering after we get off the plane, what shall we do next. Feeling excited as we approach an apartment with a funny elevator that looks like a door. We stayed in a hostel/apartment on my first trip to HK. With my aunt n uncle, and of course my cousins and brother.
Fifteen years passed... I thought I wouldn't be able to travel ever. I didn't even tried to renew nor keep my old passport. Until one May, when four flowers blossomed and I was touched and became too addicted to their charm. I was determined to find my true happiness...again.
Hong Kong was a dream for me for more than 10 years. I imagined myself buying every CD and VCD that I always wanted to buy. I thought it was vaguely a dream. It started on a March, then it became a yearly thing. Sometimes, twice or even thrice a year. It was addicting. I finally realize, I can live not seeing the finest in my country but I can't live without seeing HK in a year.
So now, I'm again embarking on a trip... to the best charsiew I've ever eaten, the best concert I've ever watched, the best public transpo that I've ever taken, the best Airport I've ever landed, the best of all the best... the memories of every nook and crane of that country reminds me of every single person that I've walked with, talked with and laughed with. Still in my heart, I will cherish... <3
Zou tao (Good night)
