Jeepneys care too, you know?

For the whole month of April, I've been amazed by the segregation move of the Cebu City government. Amazed and maybe a bit doubtful. You see, I've had the opportunity to bring the topic of having an "eco-cebu city" to one of the councilors in the said city but he told me it wouldn't be possible considering the many factors the city has to face. Well, anyway the irk of the Inayawan dumpsite urged these men to strictfully enforce R.A. 9003 or the ecological solid waste management act. A lot of people complained about the system. I found a very interesting opinion article from one of the leading newspapers in the city. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/opinion/2011/04/06/so-malata-di-malata-149102 

The Malata or Biodegradable waste would be collected on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays while Di-malata or non-biodegradable would be collected on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not from the city. :)

This move forced several establishments, residences and mere common trash bins to have two bins to provide for the segregation. I thought this only applied to Cebu city. In the humble municipality of Consolacion where I live, I happened to ride in one of the jeepneys while on my way to the promenade. As I was about to pass my fare to the driver, I noticed something just behind the driver's seat.

Pretty neat. :) It doesn't need a sanitary landfill to overflow for us to do so nor does a statute from the mayor. Not even an enforced on a non-enforced law. If we want to help the environment, then we can and we do. The jeepneys in our place care. How about in yours?

I scream for ICE CREAM

A week and a half into summer and I'm starting to feel it bit by bit. Of course, summer isn't complete without the perfect coolers to cool the hot summer day. One perfect cooler is the Ice cream. Ice cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavours. Gelato is another variation and is the term used in Italy. What makes it different from the usual is the lower butterfat content.

Gelato at Gelatissimo, Ayala

Every customers dilemma who enters Gelatissimo is "Which flavor do I pick?" I had the same question in mind when me and my friends entered the store. All the gelato on its respective places looked very appealing. I started my summer with a Choco Mint flavoured Gelato and I enjoyed every minute of it. "After 8" has always been my personal favorite so my dilemma was short lived.

 How about you? Have you cooled your summer off?

Choco Mint Ice Cream is love

Have a happy summer 'mates!:)
