Human Will + Divine Will = SUCCESS


For me, this is the greatest formula ever made. Now that I've made it here in Hong Kong Disneyland, I feel very much blessed for all the graces God has bestowed upon me. It's not just because I got the job but how I got it. God was with me through out it all.

In becoming an OCW at 24, there were times when I almost gave up in minding my documents... because of medical surgeries that I almost had... Nevertheless, I didn't lose hope. Now walking in the Main Street of the Disney Theme Park made life even sweeter!

The moment we got here, our welcome package was handed right away which contained our schedule until June 5. We were so glad though since it won't be that boring for us since a lot got here with nothing to do. We headed to the bank to open our account (for the salary, that's the primary thing we should settle of course!!!)...via the MTR. They have this MTR card called the "Octopus card" that's very useful since it can pay your bills. Ex. Watson's, fastfood chains and vendo machine. It's an instant debit card. Compared to the Philippine's MRT, they call theirs as MTR. Disney has it's own MTR line though called Disney Line. Cool, ain't it?

Hong Kong offers great gadget deals! Compared to the Philippines. For techies, laptops and digital cameras are offered at very low prizes, even portable DVD players with screens. Our good days here in the Disneyland Hotel are about to end. And we're soon off to Pa Mei. An area where most of the Filipinos stay. We got a flat, complete with appliances, internet via satellite ready and fully furnished for HK$ 5300. Pretty good deal. A lot of my escapades are yet to be blogged. Watch out for them soon!
