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.

    The Urban Green Development at Ortigas Center (the Pasig Side, at Least)

    April 22, 2018

    We have read and seen too many sad stories of urban decay, especially here in the metropolis. Because of this, there has been this lingering sense of hopelessness with the disorder and chaos that we see around the city. That being said, any story that offers positive developments and give a sense of hope that things can be done to at least mitigate the chaos is very much welcome.
