Pinoys in Hong Kong Celebrate Dragon Boat Festival
June 19, 2007
Today, Hong Kong is celebrating Dragon Boat Festival, one of the most
popular festivals here, and more importantly, the whole of Hong Kong
gets a day off work to participate in the racing and festivities.
Tradition, excitement and lots of color - That’s all part of the of this holiday,
including the Dragon Boat racing. Originally enjoyed among traditional Chinese,
but has now evolved into a popular international sport. Many are coming to
beaches of Stanley, Discovery Bay, and some parts of Hong Kong to watch
the event.
Unfortunately, the holiday falls on Tuesday. If we’re in Philippines, we could
be enjoying a long weekend holiday because the government will surely move
it a day earlier, but we’re not. Sorry me 
OH by the way, this coming June 23 & 24, Saturday and Sunday, HKSAR -
International Dragon Boat Races will celebrate it’s 10th year. Many teams
coming from different countries including our kababayans in Philippines will be
seen in action.
Be there in Victoria Harbour and let’s cheer for Philippine Dragon team!

Hong Kong cruise anyone?
May 30, 2007
FACE (Filipino Association of Civil Engineers) invites you to join
the junk boat trip. If you’re still wondering what to do this coming
weekend, come and join them and other PHKers as they sail across
Hong Kong waters for cheaper tag, with food and drinks included
(lechon from cebu and ice cold San Miguel beers).FACE JUNK TRIP
simply means lots of food, drinks, music, fun and games on board
the G-Force yacht! Plus a stopover at some of the remote HK islands
with nice beaches to swim and go boating.
Unfortunately, limited slots are available and they’re selling fast.

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.
