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! 😎✈️

    TRO on Torre de Manila (In Time for Rizal’s Birthday)

    June 19, 2015

    Today happens to be the birthday of the Philippines’ National Hero, Jose Rizal. It feels so apt to talk about the development that happened  a few days ago which seemed to be intentionally done as a birthday gift of sorts to Rizal.
