Where to throw your trash

19 July 2011

where's the trash can

Pardon my lousy picture. I only used my cellular phone camera since my point and shoot got broken last summer break for no apparent reason. It just showed a screen error when I was about to use it one day. Mother's Day might be over but my birthday isn't yet so *hint* *hint* - I need a camera. 

So RJ and his Dad joined a running event at Bonifacio Global City last Sunday sponsored by Robinson's Supermarket. There were lots of co-sponsors giving out free samples and free taste of their products. I can't help but be dismayed on how some people are so undisciplined. They just throw their trash anywhere they feel like throwing it. That particular picture above was courtesy of a group of women in their 50's. So they are old enough to know that they need to exercise to make their body stronger and healthier. Are they not wise enough to know where to throw their trash?

The organizer didn't put a trash can or at least a trash bag visible enough for everyone to see. I did saw trash bags inside the booths but none in the area where the runners can see it. The organizer might be at fault but the runners who are so lazy to hold on to their trash for a few second and look for a trash can or bin to throw it is at fault too.

This is just a simple way of keeping our surroundings clean, yet a lot of people can't do it. What about you, are you responsible enough to throw your trash in the right place?

free photo editing software

I only have Microsoft Paint installed on my netbook when I started blogging two years back. I noticed that editing with Paint takes up most of my time, because it only has limited tools, so I decided to look for a more advanced photo editing software.

I found a FREE software called Photoscape. It’s what I use until now to create and edit images that I publish on all of my blogs.

photoscape

Kids will have fun using this very easy to use software. My son likes downloading images of his favorite cartoon characters. He use Photoscape to edit and combine the photos.

What photo editing tool works best for you?

my son's summer activities

My son's school was one of the earliest to end school year 2010-2011. I made a list of summer activities for him but just as the saying goes -the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. These are his daily activities:

painting, arts and crafts

I bought a table easel, poster paint and lots of bond papers for him. He has a boxful of watercolors, colored pencils and crayons. I have been buying second hand art books for kids, so he has lots of those also in his bookshelf. I enrolled him in an art class, at Museo Pambata, last summer vacation but I wasn't satisfied. Although RJ did enjoy making arts and crafts, the lessons were appropriate for preschoolers and he 's already 8 years old at that time.

swimming

I've noticed that he sneezes nonstop  in the morning and easily gets cough and colds since he stopped swimming June 2010. He started swimming when he was just 2, trains with a swim team daily and has been joining swimming competitions. I didn't want him to hate swimming so I allowed him to have a swim-break for a year. Since the start of summer break he's been swimming daily again.

basketball

Basketball during weekends.

running, track oval

Running at night.

Kaos

And we watched Kaos. If you haven't yet, do watch it. My son had so much fun watching the acrobats and magical illusions. I'm 101% sure your kids will love it too.

We will have a one month vacation in the province next month. Hopefully I can find a good tennis coach and will also enrol him in guitar and piano lessons.

My first ever entry for Blue Monday.

This photo of Mayon Volcano was taken on our way to Legaspi City. Mayon Volcano is the only volcano that is said to have a perfect cone.


Very beautiful. One of the most awesome creation of God.

But not when it's "awake", Mayon Volcano is one scary sight.

Happy Blue Monday everyone!
