Sometime ago, I read an article about an Urban Gardening.  The article was saying that one can have a garden at home right in the city.  Space should not be a problem because one can make use of a small space by creating a vertical garden. Having your garden at home, will give you fresher and cleaner air. If you choose to plant green leafy vegetables, you will have fresh produce. You can also help the garbage problem by composting the biodegradable ones and re-using containers (non-biodegradable that can contain the plants.  You might think that composting might be a problem since a lot of us were taught that a hole in the ground needs to be made so that a compost can be created.   Good news is, you can now buy a composter! You can also have a vermiculture composter.  It should not cost you too much to start and make the city a better place to live in.

I love this bouquet of flowers!

Giving flowers to your special someone is very easy.  Distance or lack of time to go to a flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers is not a valid reason.  You know why? It is because you can buy flowers online and send it anywhere in the world.  Just like what my special someone is doing.  He is sending me flowers from halfway around the world. Isn’t he thoughtful and loving?  He orders it online and have it delivered to me.  You can go to flower online stores such as Flower Depot,  Florists Express for same day delivery and make your loved one happy!

I’m not fond of alcoholic beverages but having a sip of wine once in a while would be nice.  Wine is good for the heart, anyway

Dragon Dance is the highlight during Chinese New Year, performed all over the world.  The Chinese believes that dragon brings luck and prosperity for the years to come.  It is a common sight in the malls, supermarkets, buildings owned by Chinese and in China town.

In giving toys to your kids, make sure that no component of the toy will harm your kids.  Think of their safety before buying any toys. Have you got any great gift ideas dad and mom for your kids?

As a customer, I feel valued when it’s convenient.  Transacting in banks like Metrobank, PS Bank, BPI, PNB, and other banks that provide numbers and seat to the clients is better than transacting in banks who do not think of their clients’ welfare.

Jeepney, is the most common public transportation for the masses in the Philippines. Other mode of public transportation are buses (on the national road), tricycles (minor roads), pedicabs (on some streets of Manila), FX/van, and cabs. Jeepney fare is Php8 for the first 4 km, then an additional of P1-1.50 each succeeding kilometers. This is the cheapest fare if you are on a budget mode. But, this can be the most expensive trip that you can have during unfortunate times with the robbers. It is because they would get your valuable belongings such as your jewelry, cellphone, money and to the extent your life if you will not cooperate.

I had this unfortunate experience this week on a Wednesday, when I was going to Makati to attend a seminar. The jeep stopped along EDSA from Quezon Avenue due to a heavy traffic. Then suddenly, 2 robbers appeared at the back of the woman who was sitting next to my left, and grabbed the woman’s necklace forcefully. The robber even told her “Ibigay mo, papatayin kita” (Give it to me or else I will kill you). Then the woman gave it to him obediently.  Thank God that she was not harmed, but I feel sorry for her.  There are a lot of stories about robbery in the jeepney.  They get stuff that they can easily bring to a pawnshop for an easy money.

When on a public transport, be sure to be wise. Don’t display what will cost you or your life.  Don’t wear your gold necklace or earrings because they are like magnets to the robbers’ eyes.  Take note that these robbers know what is genuine and what’s not genuine. Don’t give them opportunity of getting what is yours. Do not text on a jeepney using your iphone, Blackberry, HTC, and expensive models of Nokia and Sony Ericson.  The verse in Ecclesiastes, “there is a time for everything” is so real.  There is the best time and place to wear and use your jewelry and expensive cellphones. Don’t use them to give these robbers opportunity to rob you. Be wise and be discerning.

I also wish that there would be available law enforcers during heavy traffic hours to prevent the robbery from happening.

I have been watching a lot of movies and series until I realized that my hard drive is already full.  However, it’s a waste to delete the copies of those because they are really nice.  You will not regret watching them repeatedly.  Since my hard drive is already full,  I need to find a way to store copies of the files in CD’s.  However, burning all of them may be taking too much of my time so I need to have them burned. On another note, now I understand why a cd duplication service is necessary for those that are in the business of distributing copies of audio books, e-books,  music recordings etc.
