Recycling in Quezon City

Since transferring to Quezon City, I have been made aware of segregating our trash. Every now and then, our barangay sends out a notice reminding us the schedule of collection and proper segregation of our trash. At first, it was a bit difficult to adjust but then our house hold staffs and I were able to manage. 

2 of the four trash bins you need PhP2000 each

Don't get excited! These trash bins were not sold by the barangay to us. DH and I bought it in one of the plastic distributor in Malabon, BJMP Plastics (distributor of Zooey Plastic), where bulk purchases are given appropriate discount. Color choices are blue, green and yellow. A bigger trash bin costs PhP2600. 

Sarah Geronimo in Yes! Magazine March 2011

Showbiz chika muna!

The March issue of Yes! Magazine has been a trending topic for several days in my Twitter account last week. The tweets focused about the mother of Sarah Geronimo on how she treated and raised her children. I got curious and naturally, I scampered for a copy but apparently Yes! Mag was already sold out in the SM branch I have been to. Good thing, Unimart has plenty of copies on stand. So, go there if you must buy a copy. Also a few weeks back, I read an article about Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, written by Amy Chua, a tough love book about her own journey and transformation as a mother. Reading these stories make me want to thank my parents for giving me the liberty to follow my dreams and be myself. They are in fact saints compared to these two moms haha And I thought during my younger years that my parents were strict. I realized now that no, I am one of the lucky ones. What is wrong with mothers these days? 

Sarah Geronimo on the pages of Yes! Magazine 2011 issue

I like Sarah. She seemed so down to earth and would not hurt a fly. And yet after reading the entire article, it makes me want to think twice on my take on her.  I think the article didn't do justice on her family especially her mom and her attitude towards boys. 

Live Wire Act

Stunned? This was taken a few days ago along Santolan St. cor Ortigas Ave. A man was crossing from post to post, live wire and all. I just couldn't believe that it's all in a day's work. 

stunt? not!

Poor man, I say. He is living his life dangerously! I hope he has insurance though but I doubt it. What about precautionary measures? Helmet? Gloves? I can't see it because he was too high and I was inside the car when I took this photo.

I hope your job doesn't put your life at risk...
