Who NEEDS toothpaste?

Beat this. 1st week. Like 5 times I get to use my herbal toothpaste. 2nd week. Ah,.....it's almost gone! Used toothpaste for like 5 times or ....less.. 3rd week. Aww. I can't buy toothpaste kanugon ang kwrta bay! I'm just gonna buy some more food. 4rth week. Just like 3 times i have actually used a toothpaste. Well, I know we can buy some inexpensive toothpaste everywhere. Maybe I was just too lazy to buy a toothpaste. Or just thought that, "hey, that's not THAT important." Besides. Back in the day people are not using toothpaste! Who needs 'em? Then the thought came to me. People before usually have bad very bad bad breath. And some people even DIE from a TOOTHACHE! So Who NEEDS toothpaste? Maybe that is the reason why the very intelligent man found a remedy for that. Nowadays people no longer die whenever they would have a toothache. But THAT is the worst PAIN of all the PAIN that I have gone through! Result. After NOT USING a toothpast...

on RULES and SHORTCUTS

I was riding on the bus on my way to Tiaong, Quezon to visit my sister. Times like this is a moment of enlightenment. In the bus, cold, nothing to do, rain pouring outside. What could this situation make you do? Sleep? Talk to the old woman next to you (maybe that's a good idea)? Eat? But I just don't want to do that in this particular moment. I suddenly remembered, I haven't touched my Rubik's cube for a couple of days now. So, ginkuha nakon ina sa bag nakon. For some reason, I just packed it up this morning, Right before having lunch with a bunch of policeman who left me for a while to respond to something...and then came back. So I was holding it. I unsolved it and then solved it. And this idea came to my mind. What will happen if I did not follow all rules in solving the first layer? So I did. After creating a cross (with a shortcut that I've learned from observing my tropa E.Sanchez), I turned it upside down and started to solve the edges. It p...

The Laundry Story

I woke up this morning and the first thing that came to my mind is...get my clothes for they are all dry now. Then my sister started with her laundry. And started to talk about it. Then she asked me something that as far as I can remember....I asked the same question to one of my companions in the mission field! "Why do we have to do the laundry?" why can't we just wear something and never get to do the laundry? WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THE LAUNDRY? That is my big question before, and her big question now. I used to tell myself, I'm gonna find a husband who would love to do the laundry so that he'll have the chance to do all the laundry. Then I came to the mission field. The idea of doing our laundry the old fashion way makes me so sad. I have allergies to some detergent. And I was only adviced to use the gloves. 1,2,3,4,5th and the 6th companion came. My point of view is still the same. "I don't want to do the laundry, I don't enjoy it at all...
