Putting a Face Into a Name: A Day With Windy at Genting Highlands Resort

7,937 views

It’s not everyday that we get to meet a blogger face to face, let alone the added pleasure of doing so over a few hours with them in bed. Ooops! Please don’t get me wrong, LOL!

After the tiring trip from my hometown to Manila and en route to Kuala Lumpur and then onward from Kuala Lumpur to the famous Genting Highlands Resort, we finally hit the sack at 5 in the morning after unpacking our luggage at our room in the humongous First World Hotel. As previously published HERE, Windy had to share a room with me and Star’s daughter, Lollii. The group agreed to meet up for breakfast between 8-9 am. We hardly got enough sleep. Blame it on Windy’s antics and humor. He practically kept me and Lollii awake and laughing the entire time! I remembered we agreed we will have him in our rooms provided we tie up his hands and feet. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a tie box or something that could prevent him from misbehaving, haha! We should have instead thought of looking up for a tape or something that would keep his mouth shut, hahahaha!

Windy was very punctual. I was surprised because I knew he hadn’t enough sleep. When I half-opened my still drooping eyes at 8am, he was already dressed up and all set for breakfast. I asked for one more hour and his eyes rolled and exclaimed: Filipinos! LOL!

The cool breeze at Genting Highlands Resort will make you want to just roll in bed the entire day. However, thinking of the short stint that we’ll have at the place, we had no choice but to get ourselves ready for breakfast.

We all met up at the buffet table and took some photographs.

yours truly, windy and star

After breakfast, Star’s boyfriend Jimmy had to go back to Kuala Lumpur to attend a very important meeting. Windy was left with little choice but to accompany us at Genting ;-) The feet-cramping stroll at the various theme parks then began.

Indoor Theme Park

Genting teems with tourists, 24 hours non-stop but we did not see any Filipinos during the time there. It looked as though we were the only Filipino tourists around as we could only see Chinese, Indians, Austrians, Americans, etc. We later found out that there are Filipinos who work at the Casinos. We never had the chance to meet them though.

We often requested Windy to take photographs of us but he was just too lazy, haha! One thing noticeable and admirable about Windy though was that his probing eyes can’t escape minute details. He knew even before you open your mouth what was needed. He sped off to Watsons, with us tailing at him wondering what he would do there; only to find him at the Cashier paying for sanitary pads for Star and camera batteries for me and Lollii.

Isn’t he so sweet? When one of our companions was trembling a little from the cold breeze. Windy immediately donned her with his jacket. He was so spontaneous.

He immediately told the group that we need to find a hot drink. He ended up giving us a nice lunch treat. He introduced to us some Malaysian cuisines. He talked more about his country, culture, politics and so much more. And you bet I was right all along! Windy is a brilliant man!

We thought Windy was going to stay with us in the entire duration of the trip but we all felt sad when he broke the news that he needed to get back home that same day. He purchased a bus ticket before he could even hear more protests from me and the group. We felt sad he had to leave and won’t travel back with us to Kuala Lumpur. The mood wasn’t as happy as it was when Windy was around. We’ve missed his company when he finally took the bus at 3:30 P.M :-(

The little time I have spent with Windy made me sincerely appreciate his sensitivity, kindness, hospitality, generosity and so much more. I used to speak all good things about him at the blogs but meeting him in the flesh ratified all that I wrote about him and justly confirmed my words.

He will always have my respect and admiration.

P.S. I failed to see Heavenly Home as it would take the entire day to travel to where it was located. I hope to travel and see it one day though.

    Hi Lainy!

    Yes, Windy is definitely one of a kind which is magnified more by you meeting him and what all you and the others did there.

    And wow, between you and Windy posting those pics, I may have to go there one day, too. That is one impressive resort in the pics, and it must be so much better in person!

    I’m glad you met Windy my dear friend!

    @David Funk,

    Hi David!

    You said it! Windy got a very strong personality. You’ll be drawn to him the moment he opens his mouth.

    It’s one beautiful place, David. You’ve got to try to visit Malaysia one day and meet up with Windy, too. Should be a wonderful experience :-)

    Gosh Lainy,

    I saw a bright light encircling on top of my head as I entered this page.
    It looked like a halo. BWAAAAAAHAHAHA

    You and the others were a genial lot of Filipinas. You could have had better recreation had you stayed a couple of nights more at Genting/Kuala Lumpur.

    Sorry about my having to rush back home. Don’t want my wife to suspect anything. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (just kidding).

    Till the next time you’re back in Malaysia, if ever.

    @Windy,

    The naugtiest man alive is here! LOL!

    Kidding aside Windy, I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you’ve invested just for you to be able to see my pretty face and sexy body with bulging tummy, hahahaha! Now we’re even, LOL!

    It would have been a lot more wonderful if you were able to come along with us to KL.

    Your wife will get to kill 5 pretty Filipinas, haha! It’s all our fault with you travelling at the stroke of midnight and hurdling the 5-hour trip just to be able to meet us. I wasn’t actually banking on it but since you’ve made it, you just made this trip triple extra special ;-)

    Thank you very much for a time well spent. I hope we could make the trip to JB soon to be able to see HH and Singapore as well. One day I will.

    @Genie Princess,

    Hi Sweetie! I knew you would say that, LOL! I wonder where you are located in Malaysia?

    KL had the same temperature with that of the Philippines. No difference in time zones too so there’s no need for a major adjustment on our part. Besides, we only had a very short stint in your country. We wished it was longer though. Another time maybe.

    Indeed we had a blast! Oh Yeah! Star’s daughter was very ecstatic. She was overjoyed to have met both her two Uncles- Jimmy and Windy ;-) She was absent from her classes though, hehe!

    You’ve had a great time, and I am, too, just by looking at the pics and reading the stories. Thank you for sharing your beautiful escapade sis! Windy, indeed, is one fine and admirable man! :) And I am laughing even more reading his comment ’round here! Just silly! Lol.

    @Recel,

    Thanks for the time spent reading this post, Sis. I am glad you’re having fun reading our little escapade :-) I wish there’d be a bloggers’ cruise soon so that bloggers could get the opportunity to tour around the world at the same time meet each other in the flesh. What a huge idea this is! You might be thinking I still got a hang over our trip, hahaha!

    Windy, Windy, Windy! He is just fabulous! I still got to meet a man who can measure up with his brilliance and humor. One of a kind!

    Yes, so true Sis! He’s very genuine and you’ll keep laughing at his non-stop antics, hahaha! He doesn’t blog for anyone so anytime that he feels like stopping to blog, he will delete it without hesitation, that’t the Windy that I know, hehe.

    It was indeed a very memorable time for me and the rest of us! More than lucky, Sis :-)

    Yes, Windy is a brilliant blogger that I have always looked up to. I’ve actually met lots of bloggers in person before but Windy is the first one abroad ;-)

    Lainy, turistang turista ang dating mo ;) I wonder if Windy has ever been to the Philippines? Baka lalo mag roll ang eyes nya sa Filipino punctuality (or the lack of it), and sa pagiging camwhores ng mga tao sa’tin. LOL.

    It really feels good to be able to meet up in person with online friends. Kaya I’m really hoping that one day mag-meet din tayo and put faces into our names din :) Hindi man sa uwi kong ‘to but in the future, God willing. Hindi man sa Pinas pero kahit sa ibang lugar, like Aussie maybe or dito sa States! :D

    Take care, my dear!

  15. I though Windy is a girl, hehehe! But wow! Love the Genting panoramic view and of course the theme park! My brother and his wife and kids went there last year and I am so envious! I love theme parks and didn’t get the chance to join them. Hope I could visit that pace someday.
