QuotesofWisdom: Running From Your Problem

You can never outrun your problems. You must face them head-on or seek help from others if the problem is beyond you. Never hold on to problems until it gets too big. Learn from the Chinese saying, turn big problems into small ones, and small problems into no problems at all(大事化小，小事化无).

BrainTeasers: Cross Fire 穿越火线

The idea behind freeganism is to get what you need for free and use your money only on necessities. I joined the "Freegan in Singapore" Facebook group, where Colin Lau's articles on freeganism impress me. I started dumpster diving and managed to rescue mostly merchandise and occasionally food. I spend money on bills, insurance premiums and food.

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.
