I. Bedspacer
I'm looking for a room with a bed that I can rent. It has to be in Ortigas and if possible, one parking space. I'll be crashing just once, sometimes twice, a week.
I seriously need to get a place to crash that is closer to work. It's hard to drive and think well without getting enough sleep.
If you guys know a place or anyone, please drop me a line. Thanks!
By the way, We'll be heading to Cagayan de Oro this coming Saturday night and be back at Manila by Monday noon for my NETCENT exam. That is, if we don't get kidnapped by the Abu Sayyaf.
II. Wall of Shame, Episode 1
I'm going to start a new series called "Wall of Shame". I remember reading a poem entitled "All I Needed to Learn was in Kindergarten" (if memory serves me right). Let's get back to some things that shouldn't be forgotten to be practiced at a learning institution.
1. I don't want to be the parking police but the driver of this car was considerate enough to eat up two spaces. I was going to blur the license plate but the smell of sweet revenge changed my mind.
2. One quote that you'll get when your civilization researches ecology in Civilization IV, "We don't inherit the land from our children, we borrow it from them". Need I say more (this is at an elevator)? I hope they can call themselves educated people when they graduate from college (they should know how to dispose their trash by now anyway).
III. [One] More Road Shot
s
I wonder what would happen if this guy (on the motorycle) gets crushed by a truck or gets involved in a high-speed collision.
I swear I had another one. It got lost somehow.
IV. Befriending the Prince
I came up with more ideas on how to approach Prince Shuttle and other bus lines regarding the smoke belching buses issues. Another problem that I might encounter is that they may refuse to cooperate or won't listen. So I decided to divide the plan to three stages.
Stage One, research. I, or if I get help, we will get all the information there is to find about how harmful the emmisions are. This will include statistics, surveys, proof of damage, measurement of CO levels along Laguna Blvd, recommended levels, recommendations by professionals and other stuff.
Stage Two, proving it. I or a couple of people willing to help, will get pictures of the license plates of the buses and the bus operating with the visible smoke emmitted.
Stage Three, contact. Before we start communicating with Prince Shuttle, it should be made sure that getting their buses in better shape shouldn't be too much for them (although it is a lot). This will involve getting discounts are rebates for replacement part suppliers, referral to a repair shop (but I'm sure they have mechanics, training for the mechanics if it's better) and more business related things. Then we reach the point where we send the letters or call the meetings.
Yes, it's a big job that's why I'll be needing a lot of help. I can't do this right away though because I already have other priorities in the way that I have to finish first. I remember an organization that involves the environment and cleanliness around the area. I should conact them too.
