I
am but optimistic about what 2014 might bring. Like any other year, this is about
starting anew. A time when we’re moving onto another unduly expensive,
Starbucks planner like we’re even gonna use it. Although starting strongly is
highly evident, it’s as though the focus just won’t last longer than a fiscal
year would. – Y’all get that. And while this might not be alarming to a
particular, “younger” segment, it actually is to a bazillion more whose
predetermined goals are still far from materializing.
Admit
it, there ain’t nothing like year-ends to cup-off the former’s laziness and
reclaim our control over goals and thus, our lives like a driven and mentally
strong person with healthy habits would. And THAT is exactly what’s wrong. A
tradition of endless anticlimactic mantra. Year after year, goals left undone.
TIRING! Disappointing even. - Don’t get stressed out on me yet. LOL So as I
pull out one of my planners, I decide to act on it.
Focusing
on personal departments that I’m sort of heading south to is something I’ve been
preparing to work on. Writing the goals down in succession, I realized that I’ve
never really put much thought on how exciting it would be to travel. You know,
like travel travel. Letting you in on a little secret, I’ve never flown. Ever!
Say a product of futile, unestablished urge?? – Mortified. Anyway, it was early
February when fate lead me to grace the 2014 PTAA Travel Tour Expo on the 14th
and thought, “A sign!” to pursue my plan to travel.
It
was a pool of blur after “Tara Na Sa
Malaysia.” - Sure a tagline as warm for a campaign can never fail to be
this inviting. That aside, I’ve always wanted to see Malaysia for myself being one
of the most accessible destinations from the Philippines. Also, I could recall
from history class back in high school something about an unending historian
debate regarding what-came-from-where thingy. It would be interesting to see
how regardless of the claims, have this entirely different population grew as a
nation with only figurative lines distinguishing the two countries.
Visit Malaysia Year
2014 Kicks Off in the Philippines with the launch of this tagline’s holiday
package brochures featuring special Malaysia tour packages that have been put
together with the help of valued local travel agents from Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao. It marks its grandest tourism celebration dubbed “Visit Malaysia Year [VMY] 2014” with
stepped up efforts to attract more visitors to the bubbling, energetic culture,
melting pot-filled with endless wondrous events, amazing festivals and exciting
activities all year round. With its theme of “Celebrating One Malaysia Truly Asia,” these efforts would position the country
as one of the premiere destinations in Southeast Asia co-existing with the Pearl of the Orient, Philippines and
many others.
Just
when I needed more reasons to go for Malaysia, Datò Mohd Zamri Bin Mohd Kassim,
Ambassador of Malaysia, Manila, reiterated the invitation with this message: “There are numerous reasons tourists will
find Malaysia an irresistible must-visit holiday destination. Whether it's rich
and colorful multi-cultural heritage, exciting shopping malls, theme parks,
fabulous food, great mountains and rivers, lush green parks and gardens,
idyllic tropical islands, palm-fringed beaches or million-year-old rainforests
- you can find all these attractions here in Malaysia.”
Senior
Assistant Director of Tourism Malaysia, Mr. Mohd Akbal Setia enjoined the media
and the thousands of attendees to come rediscover Malaysia and, for those who
still haven’t visited the country, to finally experience its wonders for the
first time. – Raises hand.
For
those planning their next travel with Malaysia in mind, the “Tara Na Sa
Malaysia” Holiday Packages Brochure is the perfect guide to help you see, feel
and experience Malaysia at its best! It also puts into focus the wide range of
activities available to visitors in Malaysia from theme park visits, shopping,
nightlife, gastronomic adventures, honeymoon and romantic getaways, golfing,
beach, cultural immersions and many others.
The
brochures will be inserted on major newspapers, as well as selected magazines
nationwide so make sure to keep one as it will sure come handy!
