When it rains, people have a hard time walking along streets and going to places. Their only chance is either to stay home or find a place where they can not get wet (obviously); hence, a shed. So then, LRT is just right for commuters when raining. They perfectly roof their customers and save them from the rain. Yet it is not all the time that that happen. When the rain keeps swooshing side to side, it enters the platform or roofed area (since those area do not entirely have walls); consequently, commuters are not able to shield themselves anymore. Moreover, there are times when the floor gets wet and slipping is unavoidable. Thus, resulting to accidents.

The LRT Team then, should come up with something to shield their customers well enough during rainy season. Yes customers do not argue about it, surely they understand, yet it will be best if the team would make something to please their customer more.

LRT: Hidalgo (02 June 2009)

Hidalgo Street; it is a street in Quiapo Manila where photographers love to go. They sell cheap cameras of different type in the said place, plus develops both digital and film photographs.

One LRT Station is connected to Hidalgo street; upon alighting to Carriedo station, take a little walk then you'd be able to explore the Photographers' Haven. Walkways in the said place is indeed very very small. Yes there are people who bring cars, probably for the equipments they bought or that's their only way to get there, etc. However, finding where to park those gorgeous cars is really hard. It is also dangerous for several reasons:

1. [AGAIN] There is no enough parking
2. A lot of tricycles and mini vehicles drive there which can scratch your cars
3. Kids, as well as other people might play with your car and "destroy" it

These are just few reasons of why one shouldn't bring their car in going to Hidalgo street. One can always use the LRT, so to reduce the hassles :)

LRT: Woman (01 June 2009)

Late this afternoon, as I alight from one LRT station, an old lady asked for some help. She's roughly 4feet tall, but 5inches taller with her back straightened. It's not only me who gave her a hand, almost everyone actually. She alighted with me in EDSA station, and took the foot bridge while I went up stairs so to tranfer to the Taft-MRT heading to North Avenue. She is such a strong old woman; commuting all the way [from wherever she came from]. The way she moved and looked like back then implies a lot about herself. How long she have lived, and probably how thankful she is for the LRT Trains.

Thinking more deeply about it, the old woman possibly wouldn't be able to go where she needs to if those trains weren't made.

Independence Square, Malaysia

Next stop: Independence Square, Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur gained historical significance again in 1957 when the first Malayan flag was raised on the grounds of the cricket field, Merdaka Square, to mark the country's independence from British rule. Kuala Lumpur came of age in 1974, when it was formally detached from its mother state of Selangor and made into a unit of its own called the Federal Territory.

Merdeka Square has indeed such wonderful architectural design. It has this distinct feature that is only evident in Islam countries - the sort of Indian concept. This place is one of the places you have to see when you got to Malaysia because:

1. As mentioned earlier, it has a very interesting architecture
2. It is nice to see where the country's Independence were held
3. And it is nice to take pictures of it [Tourist Shot:)]

So when you go to Malaysia, come see their nice Independence place :)
