KL in 12hrs. (Malaysia 2017)

-




Back in 2011, while I was still in the Glee fandom, I met two beautiful lasses that became a huge part of my life: Emma from the UK and Wynnie from Malaysia. It's been a dream of mine to meet the two of them one day. And since I was preparing to meet Emma, as I was bound to travel to the UK, I said to myself why not meet Wynnie as well? Unfortunately, I couldn't file a vacation leave as the slots were already full for December. Which is why I had no choice but to make my trip all in one day. I really wanted to meet her so bad that's why I did everything that I can do. I took the last flight to Kuala Lumpur that Saturday, and arrived in KL in the wee hours of Sunday which is why I had to stay somewhere near the airport.  

 

We met up at the Sentral Station and took an uber off to the  KL Eco Park and KL Tower. And then we went to the Merdeka Square. We both decided to walk on our way back so that we could spend more time together and get to catch up with our lives. 



  

Meeting up with Wynnie really feels like I'm meeting up with an old friend. Just like with Emma, I couldn't believe that I'm spending time with her in real life. It's so weird, we've known each other for a long time, and this is the first time that we met. But at the same time, it really doesn't feel like the first time at all. hahahaha I don't know if that made sense. hahahaha


  


  
 Before heading for lunch, we stopped by the National Museum to take some photos. Then we were off to the most famous Nasi Lemak place in Kuala Lumpur, the Village Park Restaurant. I've had my fair share of Nasi Lemak in Manila, but this one is the BOMB. Like LEGIT. hahaha It was soooooooo good. And there were so many people, that we had to eat outside the restaurant! I really felt bad for Wynnie, because she lost her appetite because of the car in front of our table. But then we both got full after our meal.

After that, we both burned the calories that we ate as we walked around the Bukit Bintang district. It's the shopping district of Kuala Lumpur, but it felt like I was walking along the streets of New York. I didn't expect that Kuala Lumpur has such huge malls! hahaha

   

And then we went to the KLCC park, where you could see the most famous Petronas Towers. I swear I fangirled when I saw the twin skyscrapers in front of me. Para akong nasa movie ni John Lloyd at Bea!! hahahaha And I was so surprised to see na may public pool sila in the middle of the park!! And since it was a Sunday, most parents took their children for a quick dip just to cool off while chilling at the park. I could imagine how filthy the water is, but then again the children were enjoying it anyway. hahahaha 

  

  


Herbal Egg


While we were walking around one of the malls, Wynnie made me try this herbal egg. At first I was hesitant, but then again, I'm adventurous with my food, so that's why I gave it a shot. And to my surprise, it was very good. hahahaha A nice snack to eat while walking around. 




And for our last stop, we went down to Chinatown to have our dinner before I went back to the airport to catch my flight. Wynnie ordered this chicken dish that's cooked on a clay pot. And, oh. my. god. it was soooooo good. I don't know what it's called, but I would definitely love to eat this again when I go back to Kuala Lumpur.

I never expected that I would fall in love in Kuala Lumpur in such a short time. Their transportation system was so good compared to what we have here, and the best part of it is that the Uber fares are waaaaay cheaper compared here in Manila. I never expected that Kuala Lumpur is such a dynamic city. I would really love go back to Malaysia soon because 12hrs in this city is really not enough. And it was nice to finally spend time with someone you spent years talking via the internet in real life. I'm very thankful that I had this opportunity to travel all the way to Malaysia for the first time, and it's definitely not going to be my last. ❤️

10/365 Ways to Simplify Your (Work) Life

  ADULTING. (n):   The practice of behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary tasks. ( C )     As a millennial, I've already done a lot on how to get my life together: relied on the advise of others, went on a series of good and bad decisions, liked & reposted inspirational quotes that are relatable on a ~deeper~ level, and also read a ton of self-help books on how to come at peace with this ' adulting ' thing.    One of the books that I just finished reading is '365 Ways to Simplify Your Work Life'   by Odette Pollar. It may look like a small, ordinary book but it's quite a good read. I know, the title of the book was really meant to simplify your ways on how to be a successful professional with your work life, but as I was reading the book, I learned that the lessons that you may get from this one not only can help you with your career, but also in life as well...

SURPRISE!!! Who would've thought na may blogspot account si bakla? Hahaha But yes, I was actually surprised that I had one too!! HAHAHA! That's why I decided to use this to pour out my thoughts here instead of the annual Facebook essay. LOL. 😂 (S/O to my friend, Lean , pinaalala mo na may blogspot pala ako. hahahaha!! Labyu, mumsh!) If you really know me personally, you would know that I really didn't had a good relationship with myself growing up. Spent a lot of years on self-loathing and plotting how I could escape this cold, cruel life. But I decided to shake things up this year and promised myself that I will focus on only one thing: learn how to love myself . And true enough, 2017 became my selfish year; crossed a lot of things on my bucket list, loved and lost people, and really grew as a person. As always, this year had its own share of highs and lows. But compared to the previous ones, this is prolly the most colourful and most exhilarating one...yet....

DREAM COME TRUE ❤️❤️❤️ (United Kingdom 2017)

Tower Bridge ... pero nasa London Bridge ako nyan. hahaha This trip has always been a dream of mine which is why this is a post of it's own.  WARNING: THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG ONE !!!!! HAHAHAHA I was introduced to the British culture at an early age as my family had always been obsessed with the Royal Family. That's why I've always dreamed of going to the UK ever since I was a child. I always dreamed of going there and visiting their tourist spots and learn about their culture. And it grew even more when I was introduced to pop music. I Spice Girls, Boyzone, Westlife, S Club 7, and of course, Steps.  When I was around 7yrs old, my uncle bought me a VCD copy or STEPS 'first concert. I fell in love with them the moment I pressed, and the rest was history. I badly wanted to watch them live. I have not had the chance to see them because they've already disbanded. But that did not stop me from becoming a fan.  Tourist na tourist ang lola mo. hahaha ...
