Saturday Softies

My freshman year in college (this was 6 years ago), I was at a classmate's room with my current roommate.
Let's just call them A (classmate) & B (roomie).

We were all little, and this had been a year or so after I had been introduced to Bigbang's Haru Haru song. Here's the little video (I'd recommend watching it, if you know how the members look like now, this will be a mini shocker):

And for some reason we had brought up the topic of Bigbang so B decides to show us both the video. So since I've seen it pretty recently, the story line was not much of a surprise for me. But of course, watching the sad bits of the music video was a little heart breaking. But I definitely was not expecting any sort of tears.

I, of course shed no tears. Neither did B. But when we turned to look at A who, throughout the whole video had been making vocal reactions to the video with the "aww"s, and "oh no he didn't"s, she was tearing up as though whatever that occurred in the video was real.

This was my first time seeing someone so emotional and so that took me aback. But nonetheless was pretty humorous at the time as we had to calm her down.

Fast forward a couple years, A and I felt that we needed a break from all the stress and so decided to go catch a matinee as they're light on our wallets and does the same job. So we watched Death At A Funeral. Which was just a mess in my opinion. Here's a sample of it:

If you've seen it, you might know that there was a huge commotion but at the end of the movie, the son of the deceased (played by Chris Rock) stands up after having enough of the commotion and does an eulogy. Then there was so much silence.. so I look over and A is bawling. Tears RUNNING down her cheeks and again I thought it was hilarious yet so sweet!

Monday: Mother Nature I

Lately, I've become more environmentally aware and have been seeking out ways to be more friendly to Mother Nature.

Doing my part to save the environment started when I was a lot more little when my mom would recycle quite literally everything.. And years after that she started composting food waste and turning it into detergents and stuff (which now, I must say is pretty cool despite the smell -cuz she uses almost all kinds of food wastes unlike the ones that are usually bought where lemons are used)

And at college I've also been doing my best to properly recycle my papers and stuff but still were using products that had plastic covers and stuff despite also recycling what I can.. papers and putting some of the plastic stuff into the plastic recycle bins hoping they went to the recycling plants and using tupperwares instead of to-go boxes :)

BUUUUUUT that still wasn't enough as I was still taking to-go cups, despite keeping the collars for future use.. etc etc

And overtime I found myself finding even more ways to be environmentally friendly.. starting with my period. Ah yes, the time of month where we bleed :) Nothing to be ashamed of as this happens to women world over, so I'm not sure why people get all weird about pads and stuff but anyway! Pads, I was using them but they're the disposable kinds and were not really great for the environment and it didn't even hit me until I watched a video about a menstrual cup:

Needless to say, I purchased it even though I couldn't back the project :) 

The cost wasn't too pleasing for my wallet, and especially so with the shitty currency exchange between my country and the US... and that was a huge step for me as I saw the improvement of garbage waste that I had. I even got a friend of mine to purchase her own! (: and now getting another comfortable with using it (this thing takes practice haha)
