survival skills, and the methods of the "i-could-care-less"
i am awfully sleepy already. .. sleepy and alcohol free at that. lol, but i think i need to write this one.
this morning while i was just starting to clean my car, an australian guy came to me. .. he is somewhere late 40s i think.. or early 50s, and he asked me, why every single day i clean my car.
he told me "why does this car gets clean everyday".. i replied to him, "it's because i work in mactan and it's very far from here and it gets dusty all the time"... frantically looking for some piece of evidence to prove my case,.. unfortunately.. there was none.
anyway he proceeded with his point.
he said." well back in Brisbane, we cannot do that" then he explained. that due to NO rainfall in 4YRS!... people are no longer allowed to use water to clean their cars, or even for gardening. Water is now used primarily for drinking.. and he said, that there are plans to even use sewage water for drinking.. but not literally of course.. sewage water has to go to some treatment / process and i bet my golden hair it may even come out 200% cleaner than our tap here. hehehe
but the news got me thinking. (i dont know if it is true though. as of my writing i didnt do any other "independent" research, my sole source-not for water- but for info is the aussie.)
anyway.. with that much of a problem, why is brisbane is still able to stay afloat?.. i mean.. if it was the Philippines., no rainfall for a year would mean *a decline in our economy, damaged agricultural sector*.. i dont knw., it's just me.. but .. two thumbs up for the citizens of brisbane and their government for keeping things in order amidst the problem of the lack of one of the most basic of all elements. (necessity)
this is what we should do. think together. and act together. i think that is what this country lacks. we are prone to say bad things about our own country (im guilty).. but all we needed after all these years... was to say. "Pare, i think what we need to do is this... ". And lets not forget the most vital part of getting things done.. *work till it gets done*
=)
i didnt know id end up so political... time to grab that book my Mr MArcos. =)
