One time game show contestant, oft-time urban roamer. I have nothing much to say, I'm the quiet one...which is probably why I take photos too much.

As a budget traveler, I rarely get an opportunity As a budget traveler, I rarely get an opportunity to experience some of those premium features that larger airlines offers even for economy passengers. so this recent Malaysia trip has been special to me as it was the first time I get to experience some of that luxury.

The MNL-KUL flight was the first time I got to be seated on a seat with adjustable headrests and inflight entertainment accessible through mobile device as the flight did not have the system itself.

KUL-MNL however had the entertainment system itself which is nice, alongside complementary headphones and USB charging and adjustable headrests.

All in all, a very memorable and pleasant flight experience, courtesy of @flypal! 😎✈️
One thing I notice in parliamentary countries is t One thing I notice in parliamentary countries is that architecturally, their parliament buildings are much grander compared to the prime minister's office. But Malaysia is one of those exceptions where there's a grand prime minister's office in a vast but sterile area outside Kuala Lumpur (Putrajaya) while its parliament building looks like a non-descript concrete skyscraper in busy KL that's not visually appealing, sorry to say.

P.S. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a photo of the parliament building

    The Arts and Culture Hub at BGC

    October 10, 2018

    With so many skyscrapers currently standing and soon to be standing at the Bonifacio Global City commercial and business district, it is to forget that BGC has quite a few surprises to offer. One of them: an arts and culture hub in the middle of this busy district. While this hub is not as massive as venues like the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the BGC Arts Center fills the need for a place in this part of the concrete urban jungle where the humanities can thrive and be appreciated by a people who need some respite from the madness of urban living.

    Checked Out: World Street Food Congress 2016

    April 27, 2016
