I saw a quote the other day and it says…

“Life is much simpler when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits“

I couldn’t agree more. Well, there’s no arguing that cell phones and computer indeed made our lives more convenient and made communicating and transactions a lot easier and faster but I think the quote is really more environmental.

We have more pollution today than ever and global warming makes it seem that we are always inside the oven. That is why even though I’m not an advocate, I try to do my share in going green. I even started carrying an eco bag inside the bag I use everyday so just in case I won’t need to use plastic bag anymore.

I would love to plant herbs and vegetables but I don’t think they would grow cause I have back thumbs.

What steps have you taken to go green?

Yes, I know. It seems kind of late that I’m making my list for Christmas just now. I’ve been advising a lot of friends to shop for Christmas earlier so they can plan ahead, be more organized and save money in the long run. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve shopped ahead for some of my friends and acquaintance but somehow it gets harder to think of  what to give to someone you are closest to. Like my sister for example. I think she already has everything she could possibly want. She could also afford them because of her profession.

The idea just came to me today. What if I give her a pair of women’s eyeglasses as a Christmas present? That would be perfect for her because she is currently far sighted. I know she doesn’t want a pair because she doesn’t want to look “older” but if I could find the perfect eye glass frames, something with a fresh, sleek design, I bet she would love it. It would definitely make it more convenient for her. She would see nearby things clearly and see would see them a little much better than she does now.

For my brother, the samurai umbrella or the rifle umbrella is perfect. Why? Well, because my brother loves big bad umbrellas and those in the shape of a weapon would thrill him.

Now on to the budget, let me figure out how to work on that.

Sewing is one of the things which I’m never fond of doing. I only sew when my life depended on it — or back in high school– when my grades depended on it. Sometimes, I even ask my older sister to do it for me and I do a chore for her in return. Anything that would bail me out of that sewing project.

Women does all the sewing in the household, I know. That is why I’m making a promise to myself to sew a couple of shorts and my daughter’s uniform which needs their buttons andone more which needs a garter. They’ve been sitting in the cabinet for the longest time and up until now, I haven’t done anything to restore them.

I guess it’s not too late nor early to start a resolution: I now promise to sew all those pieces of our clothing that needs sewing.
