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

    Where’s the Line 1 South Extension?

    January 4, 2016

    During the last days of 2015, people were all in anticipation with what should be the biggest news on the first day of 2016, President Noynoy Aquino and my “favorite” Transportation Secretary Jun (P)Abaya being run over by a train because they apparently could not keep their promise of having the construction of the 11.7 kilometer Line 1 South Extension from Baclaran to Bacoor in Cavite by the end of 2015. It was a promise first uttered at the height of the campaign period for the 2013 midterm elections as Aquino was campaigning for his senatorial bets in Cavite. It also happens that (P)Abaya was also a congressman of the province…

    Here Comes the Beep Card and Other Mass Transit News

    August 13, 2015

    After some delay and glitches along the way, the much-await tap-and-ride reloadable transport card for the Metro Manila mass transit system, the beep card, was finally unveiled to the public last July 20 on a trial run basis.
