Kris Aquino's new travel goal: Listen intently to safety drills


Following the capsizing of cruise ship Costa Concordia on Jan. 13 in Italy—which left six people dead and nearly 30 others reportedly missing out of over 4,000 passengers—TV host-actress Kris Aquino vows to pay more attention to safety instructions when traveling.
"Nakailang cruise na kami tapos hindi ako nakikinig talaga sa safety drill. So sinabi ko sa sarili ko, now makikinig na ako. Kasi ‘di ba knowing where the proper exits are and knowing kung ano ‘yung tamang paraan to save yourself and save your family is so important," she said on “Kris TV,” Jan. 16.
Kris will likewise apply such attentiveness when traveling by plane.
"After watching... [the] news kung ano ‘yung pinagdadaanan nila na nakatagilid kang ganoon na, oh my God, sabi ko pati sa eroplano makikinig na ‘ko. Kasi ‘di ba normally ‘pag nagse-safety drill din sila at nagde-demonstrate dumi-dedma tayo. Ako normally nagdadasal-dasal, hindi ako nakikinig. So from now on makikinig na ko talaga,” she added.
In the last two years, Kris has taken her sons Joshua and Bimby to Disney Cruises both in Florida and California, as well as to a Mexican Riviera cruise.
Another goal
In the same “Kris TV” episode, the Queen of All Media shared footage of her recent “quick trip” to Boracay for what she dubbed a “wellness experience to start my 2012 right.”
She, together with some friends, and at some points, her two sons, embarked on a four-mile walking spree along the Boracay coast.
“This is a type of exercise na kakayanin ko [and] since nasimulan ko nung vacation I may as well pursue it now,” she said in the video clip.
They also had a field trip of sorts afterwards, walking on the streets of the world-renowned tourist destination. According to the pedometer application on her cellphone, Kris walked a total of 10.075 miles that day.
Although she has already exceeded her initial goal (four miles), Kris continued her fitness pursuit the following day and did 10 kilometers in a recumbent exercise bike and then another seven kilometers walking by the beach.
