Mama Marvels at the KLCC Park

I never thought Mama would be able to appreciate nature stuff but amidst the hard concrete of the KLCC Park, she noticed keenly the trees there and their huge trunks and all the hanging roots and the ferns that cling to them.  This is replicated all over the city as you can see pockets of mini-forests here and there, something which is a rarity here in Manila.

Mama Navigates KLs Excellent Train System and Carinderia Food

Mama was such a trooper last night.  Even if she was tired already, she still gamely posed for a picture here in KL Sentral.

We were both famished already when we arrived in the hotel.  Mama decided to eat in the Chinese carinderia in the corner.  She found this dish delicious.  Me too!

This is their version of our humba.  Everything was similar, from the tenderness to the meat to the way na tinimpla siya!

Well, it's not a restaurant in the Ritz but it's Malaysian street food and it was delicious!

There are many tourists who come here to sample Chinese food.

Mama's First LCCT Experience

 

As soon as we arrived at the LCCT here in Kuala Lumpur, I had to download these pics immediately to Mama's Facebook so they're still fresh and current!  Unfortunately, the wifi at the LCCT could not launch them properly so I had to download them as a photo album so I could put all the pictures together.  Anyway, all the pictures went through as a photo album!

We took a few photos around the LCCT.  We were at a leisurely pace since Mama could not walk very fast anymore.  The good thing was timing na timing kami sa Aerobus to KL Sentral.  Soon as we boarded it, the bus left for KL Sentral and the exciting thing about it was that I was seated in front - right beside the driver!!

By the way, the driver had this bad habit of really tailgating the care in front of him - like the front of the bus was just half a meter away from the poor car - like he was intimidating the driver of that poor vehicle!! Bad bad bad!!

Flying Air Asia Through Clark Once Again

Since it was Mama's birthday, I decided to bring her to Kuala Lumpur, since she has never been to this city.  The timing was right since Air Asia was also having their anniversary promos about two months before her birthday, so everything just kinda gelled in.  

Mama found it a breeze to check in through Clark since the queues were not so long.  She also observed that there were many tourists of Indian descent - I guess because Air Asia also flies directly to India, so definitely that window was opened.

 She found the Air Asia flight to be comfortable and observed keenly how each single service of the airline has been compartmentalized, slapped with a corresponding fee.

She actually needed a blanket since it was a bit cold inside the cabin, and the FA promptly told her that it would cost around 500 pesos.  Ok!!

Leonor ‘Leni’ Robredo can win any post if she runs now; but will the legend wane?

Frankly, Ma'm Leni Robredo has a more solid background than many of those running in bigger positions than she is - and that she was wife to Jess Robredo, she would've been able to see first hand how her husband did his job and was the shock absorber of many of her husband's concerns and stressors.  And Cory Aquino before her has shown that mothers like her can run a country, and in her case, a congressional district.  All parents do their best to balance their work and their time with their kids so it's a challenge which is not unique only to her - and anyway, congressmen have a staff who can do the nitty-gritty of their jobs, so I think she'll do just fine.  

Now let's see if she wins.
