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! 😎✈️

    January 31, 2019

    After the positive developments thus far of the ongoing rehabilitation of Boracay Island, the government has now turned its sights on a more challenging task: rehabilitating Manila Bay. The campaign was formally launched last Sunday, with hundreds of volunteers trooping the Baywalk area to start the cleanup. And judging from the photos taken after the event, they seem to have done a good job so far. But before the premature celebrations, let us remind ourselves that this is just start of a long war, so to speak.
