How I change from one look to another....

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL LIVE!

"Hey ya WILDCATS!!!!

The musical sensation that's sweeping the globe is headed right this way! So, get ready to dance, party and sing along as we proudly presents, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL LIVE!"

This is what I've been hearing for quite some time now. Being one of the High School Musical performers of Hong Kong Disneyland this coming season is indeed a very exciting experience. Check out the making of everything with the very professional Ms. Wendy and the ever supportive, Kuya Nanad and the rest of my fellow cast members as most of us relive our forte, CHEERLEADING!!!!!

Kung Hei Fat Choi!!!

Make way for Disney's treat this Chinese New Year!!!!


The dragon procession, to hail the year of the mouse, runs from the Main Street down to the Opera House. This is a very fun procession since it's not confined with the usual idea wherein it's just the dragon who dances. Fishes which are symbols of good luck and prosperity to Chinese people graced the procession as well. The atmosphere that Hong Kong Disneyland prepared for this season wouldn't be complete if not for the Chinese New Year Stage Show. A good friend of mine, Nathalie, who is bound for U.S. now is part of the stage show team. I will surely miss her as she goes on for a tie-up company with Disney that will go on a tour around Southeast Asia.

Another cool recreation HK Disney had come up with this Chinese New Year is the presentation of how Mickey Mouse's house looks like. There are also fashion shows that proudly presented Vivianne Tam's creation. Of course, the designs are still inspired by the Fab 5's (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto) usual colors.

valentine's 2008

This was my very first time to spend Valentine's in a different way.

Usually, couples would escape from the real world and would want to create their own on this special day. But Hogan and I celebrated it with a bunch of friends and it turned out that it was a good idea. The night was filled with mostly, single people or people whose loved ones are across the miles from them. So, we swept the night away with fun games and nice chit chats.

Greatness!!!!

This is a dream role come true.

December awaits...

Officially, CHRISTMAS SEASON is here. And I feel blessed as I get to observe how Christmas is celebrated here in Hong Kong. With the current work environment I have, I can't help but appreciate how the park was decorated. There are even special 3d glasses for the guests to observe the hidden magic within the decorations. The fireworks is never the same if you watch it while putting them on.

Here in Hong Kong Disneyland, a lot of treats are presented to the guests. Disney Princesses are put up in front of the shimmering castle with a frosted icy effect. The parade (I've got to be proud of that...) is spectacular as well. It contains snowflake icons, elves and characters in Christmas costumes. And as you walk down the Main Street, there'd be snow falling on your face. An illusion sometimes helps in creating magic. Santa's Workshop, a great for taking pictures was put up as well. It's nice to share this with picture addict friends.

Though I miss collecting stamps from Starbucks for that corporate looking 2008 planner back in the Philippines, I still wouldn't want to miss Christmas here for the world. Being with my family soon is always given a thought. Now that a new world has opened in front of me... I embrace the coldness of the season with a warm heart. As I turn 25, I see the world with a new beginning. I am dangerously in love, I am high with my work and most of all..... I am happy.

Happy Holidays everybody!

volleyball or pictorial?

what made my week

Kuya Nick's bday in Caribbean, Tung CHung rocked!
We all had a blast.

You wouldn't have a dull moment with this guy. He has such a happy aura. No wonder, even if at the age of 40, (and he's proud of it!) he could still make you look twice his direction.

Good times!!!!


Nina's bday...KTV night!

After playing volleyball at Seaview Crescent, we headed right away to Caribbean Coast.

Even if Nina was so sick to have this party, she still managed to have fun. Of course! Who would resist Catv's singing prowess!!!! Hahahaha! That was so fun!



Volleyball games at Seaview Crescent This is our way to exhale here in Hong Kong during the weekends.
Why did this make my week? I was able to block Hogan!!!!

Yehey!!!! He's a huge Hawaiian spiker. He's really a warrior during the games but when he asked me to block him, I was able to give it wholeheartedly. Ahahahahaha!!!! Yeah!!!!

Butterfly and Rainbow
I was able to get a feel of being one of the butterfly dancers and rainbow gals during the Mickey's Waterworks Parade. It was indeed a boost to my self esteem.

disney on parade

last day today for the summer season.... i'll surely miss it!

Mickey Waterworks Parade

It was launched on the 7th of July, 2007.... if you'd write it 7-7-07, you'd probably think Feng SHui had to do something with it. Luck or no luck, the parade was successful in bringing joy to the crowd that day. SUMMER is just so unbearable that getting sprayed at with water guns were even craved by the guests.
The parade had a pre-show orienting people what to expect as the parade moves along. People got their umbrellas ready not knowing that even if you have one, as long as you stand on the wet area, nothing escapes Mickey's waterworks!!!! Good thing for those who came wearing their bikini tops. They wouldn't mind getting wet at all...

I love seeing all the cast members who had their day off gathering over,

just to support the show. It was splendid indeed!

Mickey's Summer Blast!!!!

You're invited to summer's biggest party!!!

Mickey's throwing a party all summer long and you are invited!

Join Mickey and his friends for the all-new wacky WATERWORKS PARADE.

Plunder the fun at Pirateland by smackbuckling good times.

Good photos could be a good start with the group of pirates

mopping around... so cute!!!

And you can even learn how to draw Mickey at the all new Animation Academy!

Let the good times begin!!!

Hong Kong moments with friends!

my disney university experience

This is indeed a spectacular experience.

We had a one whole day awakening about the Walt Disney History,

we learned how to draw like the real animators and one thing that surprised me is...

how vastly Disney theme parks have expanded.

Basically, there are 11 theme parks already and 5 resorts...

To think, Walt Disney and his brother, the founders of the park, almost got bankrupt.

Disney has indeed a special place in all of our hearts.

When I was young, I used to memorize the lines of the movies,

Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid and Aladdin.

I won't deny it that I have watched it several times, over and over.

My mom would also choose it over any movie, because according to her,

it's very much relaxing whenever we gather up in the sala to have a late night bonding moment.

And realizing that, Walt Elias Disney has the sole purpose to make everybody happy,

I guess, he certainly lived up to his purpose.

The next class we'll be having is the Mandarin Class.

Later in time, I will post out my certification for this history class I took

together with the Mandarin Class.

Coolish!!!

The best things in life are FREE....

Currency: HONG KONG DOLLARS

The standard electrical voltage in HK is 220 volts AC, 50Hz, so you will need an adaptor for your 100-volt appliances and electrical equipment. The majority of electrical outlets in Hong Kong take a 3-pronged plug.

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!

Our contract is finally here!
