Brainteasers: 7th Feb Giveaway

The satisfaction of giving can only be experienced, not explained. Like drugs, they can be addictive.
—— Dickson Idlier

I have been supporting the 'Filiporean Project' for a while. I have done this close to 10 times already. Useful stuff that I found in the dumpster could be used by people who need them.

This is the recent collection on 7 February 2021 from another group of ladies from Marjorie's team. Ivy is the leader. As usual, I would pack most of the stuff I am giving into plastic boxes (I also dumpster dives these). Then placed them in my dining room as this is the only spare space in my flat for this activity.

Stuff that I have collected mainly from dumpster diving for a few months and donors.

The ladies came after 1 pm as there were some hiccups on the people coming over. So left 3 instead of 5 ladies. I am glad this group came as they took all my stuff so I don't have to throw any away. It only took about 1.5 hours to pack my stuff into their bags. Very fast.

These ladies seem eager to packed the stuff I have into their boxes so they can ship it back to their hometown.

This concludes my 7 Feb giveaway post.

BrainTeasers: Cross Fire 穿越火线

Image from: Mewatch.com Country: China Genre: Gaming, Time Travel Release Date: 2020 Rating: ★★★ ★★ I just finished watching this drama on Mewatch.com. This is one of the best dramas that I have ever watched, especially since it is on esport. Initially, I wanted to watch it due to an esport drama, but it turned out to be such an excellent drama.

Through this, XiaoFeng managed to win the first CrossFire competition in China and XiaoBei managed to form an esport team and continued to compete CrossFire as a professional player. ...

My Filipino Project Giveaways

The "Filipino Project" is started by Singapore freegan founder, Colin Lau. The project collects usable small items (clothes, bags, kitchenware, luggage, bed sheets, curtains, blankets, stationery, soft toys, plastic toys, shoes, electrical and electronics, lingerie, etc) and gives them to Filipinos. They pack these items into big carton boxes and ship back to their hometown in the Philippines. The Filipino groups pay for the shipping costs usually. These shipped items are then given to their family members, relatives, or church members as some are so poor, they can't afford a meal. Some items are sold to pay for their essentials, like food, electricity, etc. Visayas group that came to my place. Still have 2 ladies that not in the photo as they came later.

BrainTeasers: Better To Live Cheap Under Budget, Than Live Luxuriously In Debt

Desire for a better life gets us more entrapped in the web of desires to overspend. Only by cutting away these threads of desires can we free ourselves and live a less stressful and more rewarding life by spending below our means. —— Dickson Idlier There are two ways to live life: 1. Live in a way that we spend less than we make. 2. Live in a way that spends more than we make. Spending exactly as you make does not happen as emergencies happen all the time, so is still in the second group. People would rationally choose spending less than we make but most don't. In our civilized society, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements promising a better life than you have... if and only if, you are willing to spend to get it. This is so ingrained in our subconscious, from the moment we become sensible, we subtly and unintentionally fall into this trap. Increased income doesn't quench our desires. Offers for better life grow with our income... nicer cars, bigger houses, ...
