Happy Chinese New Year

恭喜发财! Happy Chinese New Year!

Today's the second day of Chinese New Year. How's everyone's celebration has been? For me, it's the same old every year, a day of binge eating, receiving ang pows, playing card games and mahjong, etc. This has been the traditions in my family and will remain so.

Anyhow, I will be flying off the Philippines on the fourth day of Chinese New Year (13 February 2013). After the third day, Chinese New Year is turning into a boring affair and since I'm off the whole week, why not scout to someplace for fun and exploration?

My Philippines trip will be a 5-day vacation and I'll spend most of the time exploring the country's largest island, Luzon. I will be heading up north to Laoag City first before slowing going back south. As my flight to the island country is through Air Asia, I will be landing on and departing from Clark International Airport, which is about 2 hours from Manila. Hence, you need to allocate some extra time for the shuttle between the two cities.

I will share more about my Philippines trip once I came back. Till then, continue having fun in the Year of Snake!
