Teenage Offerings!

admin — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 16:20:51 +0000

Oh! Well, time flies so fast! I didn’t notice that in a year from now I already have a teenager nephew! Whoahh! The contradictory part is I’m gettin’ older. Hate it! But of course, gettin’ older but yummier! Haha! Seriously, I was bit a surprised a while back this morning when I had a short conversation through Skype with my eldest nephew and ask me to buy him Overloud Guitars for their upcoming cultural show at school. Is that serious? I ask and he humbly answers me Yes Tito. Oh! Tito is a word used in Philippines for Uncles.

Goin’ back to that guitar thing, I couldn’t imagine how time flies and I just realized that if not because of that music instrument he ask from me I wouldn’t know that his not a baby anymore. Sigh… Anyway, good thing about buying him the said instrument was he is into music. I mean, he loves music ever since when he was young. I could still remember when the song of Martin Nievera (Local Artist in Philippines) is playing on the radio he was trying to imitate the every single worlds of the song. He even scream out loud just to let us now that his singing! Cute little ones.

For sure, I’ll buy him the best guitar he loves besides haven’t given anythin’ for him in several years. See you soon nephew dear!

House plans renovations!

Can’t wait to head home very soon. I know its still very soon but time flies so fast and I’m counting the days. Oh! You guys might don’t have an idea what I mean. I’m actually excited of goin’ home soon. So plans has been set already and one of the major thing to do is to renovate my old home. A home where I have build-up my dream. A home where I was taught and molded into a person I am now. Thanks to my parents and to the rest of my siblings who in one way nurture and show me the best of everything wherever life’s takes us.

Going back to that renovation thing, I’m actually planning to buy basement carpet tiles so as to use for our basement area. It’s been almost 25 years that the said portion of our house was not given a higher priority due to financial crisis and there’s so much things to prioritize than the said subject. But now I guess, its about time to give it a break and change a bit more besides its too old and it needs renovation even before.

But as of now, still have to wait a little bit as I want to solely process it by myself and check every angle of the said place. I’ve actually talked to my dad to ask for quotations in basement carpet tiles from the local provider but if he could not find a better one I might consider online buying hopefully. Wish us luck!

The New Three Rs: Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:14:53 +0000

We all know about Reading, ‘Riting, and ‘Rithmetic to help our children learn in school. But, the new Three Rs are just as important—Recycle, Reuse, and Reduce—to help our children learn to take care of the environment.

Learning to care for the world around us is a good lesson for children. Model the Three Rs at home to help your children and the environment. Try the following ideas from the Kids’ Pages of theNational Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to help your kids recycle.

Recycle

Don’t throw away anything that can be recycled. Check with your sanitation department or waste service to find out what you can recycle from your home and what you’ll have to take to other sites.

Think before you throw away these items:

Acid batteries Oil Aluminum cans Paint Building materials Paper Cardboard Plastic bags Chemicals Plastic bottles Electronic equipment Steel cans Glass bottles/jars Appliances Lead Wood Magazines Writing/copy paper Newspaper Yard waste

Reuse

Think reusable, not disposable, when you buy. When driving, take along washable cups or travel mugs. Many restaurants and convenience stores will fill or refill your own mug.
Remember, many plastic disposables—including cups, plates, utensils, and food storage bags—can be washed and reused.
Think repair, not replace, and donate items that you are replacing, such as appliances and old bicycles. Charitable outlets like Goodwill, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, and many others are probably located right in your area.
Hold a yard sale or give away items you no longer use. Shop at yard sales or other outlets for “gently used” items to see if you can’t find what you need before buying new.
Use cloth instead of paper—cloth bags for shopping, cloth napkins at your table, and cloth diapers for baby.

Reduce

Buy in larger volumes to reduce the amount of waste from packaging. The “large economy size” can save you money and has only one package to dispose of, not two or three.
When you buy only one or two items at the store, say “no” to a paper or plastic bag to hold them.
Say “no” to junk mail. Call toll-free numbers in unwanted catalogs and ask to be removed from mailing lists. When possible, use the Internet for paying bills and reading the news, catalogs, and other information.
Start a garden to get food that isn’t processed and packaged. Compost biodegradable waste to create rich soil for your garden and to cut down on trash.

Resources:

NIEHS Kids’ Page. This site from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is filled with tips to help kids and families recycle, reuse, and reduce what they throw away each day.
Recycle City. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides lots of information for families. The Dumptown Game is designed for older children, but clicking on parts of the city is fun and provides tips for you and your child.
