Live it up...

When we were in Macau, I bought these two cute little wooden dolls (around 4 inches in height) in a souvenir shop going to St. Paul's Ruins. I find them cute, I bought a pair and gave it to my mom as pasalubong.





What I bought for my self? A mini-wooden doll too in a form of a cellphone charm.




Update:
*** I learned from my Aunt Cathy that the dolls are called "Kokeshi" dolls.

We woke up early to have beakfast at Wynn Hotel. It's our last day and we're flying back to PI in the afternoon so we better start our day early.

Upon reaching Wynn, we were greeted by some Filipino employees who work at the hotel. We asked where they serve buffet breakfast and the kind staff directly led us to the restaurant. Wynn did not let us down with its massive buffet of breakfast in front of us.





After having our breakfast, we decided to watch the Tree of Prosperity before heading off to our hotel. Knowing Wynn, it caters to a lot of high end stores inside the hotel. We went inside Louis Vuitton just to window shop. My Aunt wanted to have this nice pouch just like the LV sales agents have around their waist. I really can't explain in detail what happened in that store. All I know is that my Uncle Henry wants us to buy an LV wallet but then, the price is somewhat like the bag already ($200 more, for the price of the bag). I asked my Aunt Cathy if I can just have the bag and pay the excess to Uncle Henry. Our ever generous Uncle Henry said he'll buy the three of us an LV bag.

That time in my life, everything that is happening is so surreal because the other night, my cousin, Abby and I were talking how we really wanted to have even just one Louis Vuitton and that I won't get married yet until I have one. Then, all of a sudden, it's just happening! Big thanks to Uncle Henry for giving us the gift! Mwah!



The three of us were all giddy happy with Uncle Henry's gift!

Okay, so it's our 3rd day in the casino capital of Asia. This is more of a relaxed day to us. We did not wake up that early unlike our second day, besides, it's raining. We want to take more time to sleep.

We started our day going back to Senado Square to have some early walking exercise. Of course as we walk too, we bought some pasalubongs again and ate egg tarts.




Abby and I found this nice and fashionable jacket at the market. We did not buy it the first time we saw it because we thought we would see more nice jackets when we go to Kowloon in HongKong. To our dismay, the store where we found the jacket is always close.

After going back to our hotel to freshen up, Aunt Cathy said we must try to watch Circ du Soleil at the Venetian together with Uncle Henry. Off we went to Wynn for some reservation. We went to the hotel concierge and to our dismay again, the seats near the stage were all reserved. Of course we don't want to be seated far from the stage...So we decided to pass the show and Uncle Henry, since we won't be watching the Circ du Soleil, he gave us money for shopping. Woohoo!

We didn't notice that it's lunch time already. Again, we don't know where to eat. We're still stuffed with the buffets we always have every night, so we decided to go to Venetian for lunch. It was my first time here in this hotel-casino because the last time I was in Macau, Venetian is still under construction.





We had lunch at Te restaurant, I had tiger prawn pasta in tomato sauce this time and some nachos.




This is the best part of the day. Because of the long walking we did the whole 3 days we're in Macau, our feet's soles are really aching. And guess what I found in one of the shops at the Venetian? A Fish Spa! You read it right. We did not think twice in getting one. We immediately asked the chinese lady at the spa that my aunt, my cousin and I want a fish spa. After more than 30 minutes, our feet were relieved and so soft! Thanks to those fish doctors from Turkey!





Oh, before I forget, we even convinced our Uncle Henry also to try it... :-)

Before starting our day, we had our buffet breakfast in our hotel together with my cousin Abby, Aunt Cathy & Uncle Henry.


We spent our second day in Macau travelling to Hongkong. My aunt's planning to buy some fabrics in Kowloon.



But instead of going to Kowloon, we took the ferry going to Hong Kong city. We got a little lost as to which way we are going. Knowing Hongkong, they have this MTR where you always change lanes if you're going to this place or another.

Lost but still pretty and smiling. Hehehe.





So we failed to get my Aunt Cathy some fabrics back in Kowloon. Since we can't do anything and we are so hungry, we had another buffet dinner at Grand Emperor hotel just beside our hotel where we are billeted. The food is just so-so, not as great as the one in Hotel Lisboa.

This is the trip I won't ever forget. It's my first time to travel with my cousins Jay and Abby as well as with my Aunt Cathy and Uncle Henry.



We arrived Tuesday afternoon in Macau. As soon as we reached our hotel, all we did was freshened up then headed to Senado square and Ruins of St. Paul's.

We took some pictures at the plaza.




On our way to St. Paul's Ruins, there were alot of novelty shops. We bought some egg tarts which my cousin really love and a couple of boxes of Almond cookies to give a way as our pasalubongs to our friends back in the Philippines.





After a tiring walking and a little shopping at the plaza, we had a sumptuous dinner at Hotel Lisboa. My gawd, they have a massive buffet! We don't know which one or what to eat first. From appetizers to desset, my cousins and I went gaga over their buffet!





And because we ate so much that our stomaches can explode anytime soon, my cousins and I decided to take for a walk just around the vicinities of Casino Lisboa and Wynn. We watched the dancing fountain and Tree of Prosperity at Wynn afterwards.

By February 17 to 20,I'll be seeing these places...






And by March 3 to 5, I'll be going to this lovely paradise beach.....





Yay! I can't wait!
