Gaile (model) & Me @ Prada, Hong Kong - April 2, 2008

Just came home not too long ago from two events, the first was the Prada “Trembled Blossoms” Premiere Party and new Prada Elements store opening (check back tomorrow for the second event). Celebs, models, fashion icons and socialites came out last night for a private party at the Prada store at Elements. The event was an unveiling of the Prada’s first animated short film, Trembled Blossoms that captures the essence of Prada’s Spring/Summer 2008 Collection. If you haven’t seen the video, you should it’s quite beautiful and interesting. Bigups to Trish and Francis.

Edith & Me

Earlier this week on Monday, March 31st I hit up the HOODS Opening Event as Neighborhood and WTaps celebrate the opening of their Hong Kong store at Western Market. Lance said that the venue is one of the few places in HK that is actually a good venue for concerts (indeed it was), there was also a live performance by Jackie & The Cedrics. It was super crowded that night (but fun) with streetwear heads, celebs, models and socialites. I didn’t take that many photos that night so if you’re feelin’ for some more - check Freshness. Bigups to Lance!

March 28, 2008 - Hong Kong, Waiting for the bus…

This may be the shortest post of my travel entries haha, didn’t snap up that many pics that day. After lunch with B, we headed to visit my friend Tricia at her dad’s place. She prepared some barbecue for dinner and we all just chilled and watched Jay Chou’s concert haha. It is fun times just hanging out and chit chatting with people you like, ain’t need to be out and about all the time to have fun.

March 27, 2008 - Hong Kong, 8Five2 Shop @ Causeway Bay (dead beat by the time I got there, the humidity has got to me!)

Met up with the boys (YM, Masa and Shawn) to do a bit of visitation of the big guns in Hong Kong, Chris & Linton @ GarageWorks and Brian @ 8Five2 Shop. The GarageWorks office at Chai Wan is pretty dope, once you enter there’s racks and racks of toys - dope toys! After the tour of the toy house, we headed back to Causeway Bay to hit up Brian’s shop - Brian is one of the funniest people I’ve met in HK. “Sea Urchin…UGHHHH!” inside joke hahah, omg he is mad funny and he must be watching too much of The Wire haha. 8Five2 Shop is a dope spot, check out the store. Then we the four of us headed down to Mongkok to look for some DVDs, afterwards headed over to Langham place to find a spot to eat dinner. Since Ajisen Ramen has been haunting me (I see that restaurant everywhere), I’ve made the decision for everyone to eat there. The ramen was pretty good, then off to home - I was mad beat that day b/c it was super humid!!!

March 26, 2008 - Hong Kong, Jardin House

A few days ago, went to Central to run a few errands for my parents then met up with B’s friend Masa to shop around Causeway Bay. I pretty much know my way around Hong Kong, with a few exceptions of some local shopping places. After shopping around and copping 3 pairs of shoes (yes again, didn’t get a chance to snap pictures yet) we met up with Masa’s gf, Edith, my new friend - we all was feeling for some Korean BBQ so Edith brought us to Sorabol Korean Restaurant @ Lee Theatre Plaza. The food was really good, after dinner we went to have dessert at Lucky Dessert - that basically concluded my day.

March 24, 2008 - Hong Kong, Central

Finally made my way through to Central, it’s where all the name brand stuff is located. I tend not to shop there that much as I can get all those brands in NYC. Checked out a few shops and chilled around for a bit, then off to Causeway Bay again for dinner - to be exact back to city’super!

P.S. I didn’t pack so much, so I’m running out of clothes to wear - YIKES! You’ll be seeing similar outfits soon haha!

March 23, 2008 - Hong Kong

On my 20th day in Hong Kong, B and I met up with Melody to shop (again) and eat. She took us to a few places to try some new food and to chill out, lots of food in this post (don’t get hungry!). Didn’t buy much that day and didn’t get a chance to snap up what I bought but you’ll soon be able to see it when I rock it out. Passed by McDonald’s and spotted the Red Bean Pie (US version of the Apple Pie), damn I had to have one - that ish was MAD GOOD!!! Unlike the Apple Pie that’s baked in the US, they fry the skin! Drooling, I’m going to eat some more of these before I leave HK! I’m going to cut it short and let the pics speak for itself…
