The tourist in us may dream of visiting places far away but sometimes all we need is a trip to our neighbor to discover a different kind of paradise. Kota Kinabalu, or KK as the locals would lovingly call it, is the capital city of Sabah, Malaysia and is only a few miles away from the southernmost tip of Palawan. Tagging along with fellow journalists on a recent inaugural trip by SEAIR, I had the pleasure of exploring her wonders. Aboard the sturdy 33-seater Dornier 328, we breezed through Manila, Caticlan, Puerto Princesa, and arrived in Kota Kinabalu just in time for an afternoon rest.

Before we start another year of party-hopping, joining the other true-blue partyphiles in celebrating anything and everything, I say this fervent prayer for all of us, especially those who have taken over the reins of running our country’s economy, that we be insulated from the devastating effects of global recession, and that our respective families, the source of our strength, remain intact, happy, healthy and blessed by the Almighty’s generosity.
