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.

    Time For A New EDSA Mass Transit Line

    November 17, 2017

    I’ll start by getting this sentiment out of the way: the current Mass Transit Line 3 in EDSA sucks. And it’s not just because of the technical problems it all too often suffers from.
