That's me and my other group of friends in the picture. They used this without my/our consent and even removed the watermark I placed at the bottom. Picture link: here. I wasn't mad or anything but I shared the post in my facebook page saying how "talikodgenic" we were that SM even used our picture without permission. When my BFF girl friends saw the post, they got interested in trying out ice skating too so we did.

When we were still looking at the skaters, we were considering backing out. "I think it would be best for us to just watch a movie or go bowling..." But our adventurous side insisted and said, "Whatever. Let's buy tickets now."

It was my second time but the kuya still had to redo my laces. Wow, prinsesa lang. We looked like struggling skaters and the little girl whom I found really cute before we entered the rink approached us and our conversation kind of went this way: Girl: Ate, you don't know how to skate? Why you don't know how to skate? Me: 'Cause it's our first time. Can you teach us some techniques so we'd learn fast? She taught us some moves and skated away as we stood there trying to apply what we've learned but still struggling. Hahaha. She went back and told us, "Ate, kanina you don't know but now you know na?" The way that girl speaks reminds me of someone. Hehehehe. May chance ata ang future child/ren ko to talk that way. I also hope that my junakis will be as confident as her. 4 years old lang siguro 'yung batang 'yun. #assumera #bakamagingnanay hahahaha.

Kunyari ang galing galing ko mag skate picture.

I like Megamall's ice skating shoes better.

After an hour of circling the rink, we went out to eat at Kyochon Philippines link: here and rested a bit at Megamall's Prestige lounge link: here.

I still don't watch movies at an SM Cinema but I make it a point to enter a prestige lounge to ask for a glass of iced tea and also because restrooms inside the lounge are better than other SM restrooms. Kami ng E-plus, patigasan lang kahit wala naman silang pakialam hahaha. Sobrang na-turn off lang ako sa SM Tickets at E-Plus kaya MEH pa rin kahit halos isang taon na ang nakalipas. Alam kong pino-promote nila ang tap to pay ngayon pero kung e-plus ang card na re-reloadan, okay na ko gumamit ng cash kahit sobrang mas convenient pa nun.

Someday, Mt. Pinatubo!! <3

Went back to the rink to skate some more before going home. Compared to my first and second, I became more relaxed and more confident the third time. Hindi pa rin ako nadudulas pero mas magaling na 'ko. At sa mas magaling na ibig sabihin ko... kasi kaya ko na ngayon na hindi humawak lagi sa gilid. 'Yun lang. Bow.

Lockers in Megamall are pricier. For one time open lang kasi so everytime you need to get something inside/open the door, tapos na 'yung rent mo. You'd have to pay P 40.00 for another usage. Lockers nila ay parang mga lockers sa KL Sentral link: here. Sa MOA kasi, baggage counter lang kaya kahit lumabas ka pero may receipt ka, 'yung isang bayad lang e okay na. Pero whatevs, these lockers are safer in their own way.  RATES: MOA AND MEGAMALL WEEKDAYS: P 300.00 WEEKEND/HOLIDAYS: P 390.00 All day ice skating and inclusive of shoe rental.

• TO SEE LEE MIN HO - I've seen him again the last time he went here in the Philippines last March. I haven't moved on 'cause if ever he comes back, expect me to be there again. I am also looking for his "Just Got Lucky" Bench shirt. Meron bang available nyan? If meron, I shall buy that soon! Anything for you, Min Ho oppa. :))
• NEVER LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE. HAHAHA. - I have no plans of enrolling at a driving school in the near future. 
• THOUGHT OF VOLUNTEERING AT PAWS - Natapos man ang 2013 na hindi ako volunteer at naulit man ang kasaysayan at hindi naman ako nakaipon dahil medyo na back to zero ako noong May 2014 e volunteer na ko sa PAWS (May 2014 Batch) under Direct Animal Care and Humane Education. 
• SAVING? EATING? EXERCISING? What are those again? HAHAHAHAHA. 
• ONCE A STUBBORN, ALWAYS A STUBBORN. Thank you, world for making me this way. 

• rode an airplane, a coach, a bus, bicycle, boat...
• been to 2 foreign countries (Malaysia and Singapore) and 7 Philippine provinces (Pampanga, Zambales, CALABARZON) 
• slept at a sosyal resort rooms, not-so-sosyal resort rooms, other person's house, hostel, coach, sand, tent...
• felt like a balikbayan while shopping at Subic and Pampanga Dutyfrees
• successfully conquered my first mountain
• and many many many more. Huhuhu. My gaaaaash, sobrang bet lalo nung one time nung Quezon at Zambales parang nagpahinga lang ako sandali tas nagpalit ng bag then goraboom na. 

Pag galit ka at wala kang mapagbuntunan ng galit, bili ka ng graham crackers na dudurugin. :)

Combine the condensed milk and crushed grahams. Crushed grahams are readily available in groceries but we used the chocolate variant so crushing these without a food processor? Hehehe. Kanya kanyang strategy 'yan.

Pag may tao kang gustong paamuhin, haluin mo lang using your bare hands at ipakain sa kaniya ang finished product.  Ewan ko na lang.. :))

Add fresh milk until you reach the consistency you desire.

This is what ours looked like before we shaped it into bite-sized balls.

Here's the best part! Shaping the balls. Mold the balls in the size you want. You can opt to put chocolate or marshmallow inside each ball. Ours was plain though.

Because sprinkles will make these too sweet and just crushed graham crackers will make these look too plain, we used desiccated coconut.

Here's our La Familia room at Grid 9 Hotel/Gastropub Grid 9 Hotel Review: I didn't have problems with our room, not even the broken shower knob was a bother. They have a billiards room and a cafeteria but we did not go to any other place there. The air con and television work, the wifi is fairly fast (they have like 4 wifi signals) and the bed and its bedding were more than comfortable to sleep in. If you're looking for a cheap hostel in KL, Grid 9 is definitely something you might want to consider. Aside from it being affordable and a great place to stay in, it's also close to a monorail station (Maharajalela) and tourists attractions like Central Market, Pudu Sentral and Chinatown.

My last Malaysian morning! From Grid 9, we rode Maharajalela monorail to KL Sentral where we are to ride our bus to KLIA2 worth 10 MYR per person. KLIA 2 is situated outside the city so it's like a one hour ride more via bus.

It was really fun while it lasted, KL Tower and Petronas Towers. I shall see you again someday! Bungee jumping pleaaaaaaaase. :)

Good morning selfie at the bus! Haba na ng hair ko.

Taken inside Malaysia's newest airport, KLIA 2. It is big so we kind of had a hard time carrying our bags from the entrance to our seats where we waited near boarding tube. There were trolleys available but not on all parts of the airport. After checking ourselves in.,.

Last Malaysian Mcdo Meal Big Breakfast Meal because we'd be spending the next 3 and 1/2 hours traveling back to the Phils without food nor drinks. Operation tulog, medyo kwento at emote sa bintana.

While looking at this view, it was setting in that we are on our way home already. After some small (and recurring "lost") problems, after everything, we can proudly tell ourselves that "We did it. We've seen what we want to see (more than even) and we're on our way home. Now, bring me to more places!" "It's better to see a place once, than hear about it a thousand times." I know that it wont be my first and last in KL and SG but this will always be a special one.
