Strawless Fast Food chains

Image
It's ironic how fast-food chains claim to be environmentally friendly by selectively using plastic, giving the impression of sustainability. However, the reality is that they still rely on plastic-based products. If a commitment to being plastic-free is made, it should be wholeheartedly embraced and implemented without exceptions. Consistency is key when it comes to environmental initiatives like this. - Sam @ Tayabas 

Mindfulness in time of crisis

Image
 Yesterday at the office, our refresher training was about mindfulness. So, what is mindfulness? According to Google, mindfulness is about being fully present in the moment, observing thoughts and feelings without attachment or judgment, and developing a sense of inner peace and calmness. It is a powerful practice that can help individuals cope with the challenges of daily life and improve their overall quality of life.   During our refresher training, some colleagues shared their processes on how to deal with stress and practice mindfulness. One colleague shared that they don't react in the heat of an argument and take a step back. Another shared that they do chores (e.g., washing dishes, cleaning, laundry) to calm their mind and take rest.

I opted to ride the MRT since my house is in Taguig, so the travel was faster. When I boarded at GMA station, I sat at the end facing the window, so I could emote while going home. After a while, more and more people were boarding, and at Santolan station, I noticed someone standing behind me and I felt him pressing against me. At first, I just ignored it since it was crowded and rush hour, but as time passed, I started feeling something poking my backside and it was hard. I'm not a child anymore to act innocent, and I knew he was deliberately rubbing against my backside. I looked at the guy and saw that he was cute, fair-skinned, chubby, and of the same height. I smiled, and he smiled back at me, and the rest is history. So for the rest of the ride, he kept rubbing against my backside, and I felt the hardness of his "thing." I forgot t

(as if walang signs sa stores) Kuya cute: Ah duon po sir! (tinuro ang sign) Sir, baka gusto nyo bumili ng perfume. Me: Oh! ano ba yan? pa-try nga.  (spray naman si kuya) Kuya cute: Ano sir, okay ba?  Me: Hmmmm. Ang bango nga po. (beautiful eyes) Magkano po ba yan? Kuya cute: 1500 lang sir, may kasama na freebies. Me: (inside my head - Putcha! Ang mahal naman nito. The kuripot me cannot!) Ah Sige po kuya next time na muna.  Kuya cute: Sayang naman sir naka-promo pa naman kami. Saka out ko na rin po mamaya. (nag-smile) Me: (inside my head - Ay Deputah! sya yata ang freebies) Sige po kuya, next time na lang kuya wala po kasi akong budget. Moral of Story: Pisting yawa! Ang hirap maging poor! nakakawala ng pagiging Disney Princess... EMe! - Sam @ BGC - Good morning people and Malalande!!! 🤭🤭
