How Do Filipinos in Hong Kong Celebrate Valentine’s Day
February 14, 2007
Today, we celebrate Valentine’s day. It’s a time of year when people
all over the world gets so romantic. To us Filipinos in Hong Kong, we
do feel the same. Unfortunately, not all us here have our love ones
with us.
Yet, we still find time, in spite of our busy schedule of work and
activities, to express our romantic feelings to them. Some would
send greeting cards, flowers and gifts, while others simply spend
few minutes thru IDD just to say “I love You” to their spouses
and children.
It’s like singing a song of Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Call To Say
I Love You” or Sheena Easton’s “Telephone” by long distance
lovers.
In Philippines, Valentine’s Day is the busiest day, next to Christmas.
It’s the time when most restaurants, movies and even hotels are fully
booked. Here in Hong Kong, you also place booking or you’ll end up
your date in MacDonlads or Seven Eleven.
To all kabayans in Hong Kong, Happy Valentines Day!
Hong Kong Pinoys to Play Airsoft Game
February 13, 2007
This coming Feb.17, Saturday, a group of Pinoys in Hong Kong
will be playing Airsoft game on Yeun Long.
This event is being organized by a team of Filipinos who has the
interest in wargaming, militaria and airsoft and they called themselves
TEAM CheckSix, which have been in HK for more than 2 years now.
Basically, Airsoft is a product of the far East and is now available in
the Western world. It has spawned a sport, a growing following,
and an industry that spans several continents. Airsoft guns are full
size 1:1 scale replicas of real world firearms.
Airsoft provides them with a reliable weapon that is safe to use for
training, while providing a level of realism not found using any other
training device. The comparatively low cost of using Airsoft for
training purposes also helps to ensure that the officers have as much
training time as they need, without financial restraints kicking in.
