Hello from Hong Kong

nice weather here in HKG since yesterday. i did not meet any acquaintance this time. but i met by chance ex-RP executive secretary ruben torres (FVR admi). magkasabay kami sa airport express. di ko maalala ang pangalan niya tapos tinanong ko. sabi ko kasi natatandaan ko ang mukha nya kasi napapanood ko sa teevee dati. nagpakilala naman siya. after a few pleasantries, with exchanges of business cards, of course, i was told that he will attend a business conference in beijing with FVR. he is not anymore active in RP politics. he is now the CEO and chair of unioil.

tinanong niya ako kung bakit ako nasa public health & research, eh wala naman daw kita sa linyang iyon. in RP scenario, i agreed with him. but i told him that while research may not be a lucrative practice in RP, it pays decent in advanced countries. they invest a lot in it which i hope RP will follow. nakanganga lang siya habang nilitanyahan ko hahaha
sa kowloon station ako bumaba at siya naman ay sa HKG station. mag-isa lang siya at walang super alalay. meron din kaming nakitang isang pinay na hindi rin matandaan ang pangalan niya. again, pics to follow.

masarap ang ka-tsibugan, syempre malapit sa panlasa natin ang pagkain nila. syempre nakatikim ulit ako ng lanzones. nga pala, di masarap ang mangga sa SL. isang tikim ko lang ay inayawan ko na. mas panalo pa rin ang RP mangga.

samu't saring pinoy ang nandito. ang daming nagtutulak (hindi droga ah) ng baby cribs.

so that concludes my 2-weeks journey. im waiting for my flight to sapporo 1.5hrs from now.
