I love this quote by Mahatma Gandhi, because I've been living up to quotes such as "stop reacting, start acting" and the like..Between silence and complaint I prefer to be silent, coz complaining doesn't do me any good nor solve the problem, right? Although there are times that you really have to blurt it out, coz it'll make you feel bad and might lead to heart attack. You can also tell it to a friend or talk to yourself, as long as it will give you inner peace that's more important, it may not solve it but it will make things light, that's what I do.
Anyway, I joined the save-a-cup challenge of Ian Somerhalder foundation, got it from his tweet I read, and at that moment, I thought I'll do it, coz I care, so I decided to do the things (I know they may be little) that I CAN do for the world. Something is still better than nothing. Let's be the change we want to see in this world, it's ours! :D
This is to add to things I think that can help such as: lessen plastic use, select paper stem on cotton buds, always bring an eco bag with me, save a cup! Hehe this will not be easy but beneficial. It's a good thing I have tumblers. If only all of us will contribute little by little, we can go far. How I wish that I am one of those influential peeps so I can disseminate these words but this blog is all I have.

This tumbler most of the time is for my taho or coffee

After 2 weeks of not using disposable cups, I received this email from ISF on the 25th of Feb:
Dear Rozhiel--
In just two weeks, you've helped keep 12.72 pounds of CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere! Keep up the great work!
Warm Regards, Dr
ISF Environment Division

"Man In The Mirror"
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know
I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place
(If You Wanna Make The
World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)
I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?
A Widow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

The Mirror

World A Better Place)

Then Make A Change

Then Make A Change)

Ways

World A Better Place)
(Take A Look At Yourself And
Then Make The Change)
(You Gotta Get It Right, While
You Got The Time)
('Cause When You Close Your
Heart)
You Can't Close Your . . .Your
Mind!
(Then You Close Your . . .
Mind!)
That Man, That Man, That
Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror
