There’s this residential area near the university that seems to be intimately linked with the present existence. Just like the university, this subdivision – with its blocks of sprawling houses and quiet gated streets – has its way of intruding into one’s consciousness. If there’s a sense in describing oneself as haunting a place even if one is still very much alive, this is exactly how one would feel upon coming to an awareness of such encroachment. It’s like slowly realizing that one has been a sort of prisoner all these years, that no matter how many miles one has flown away from a certain point of origin, one’s life will ultimately be pulled back to gravitate around a few significant places. Yet, there’s also this sense of being set free from some drab view of the past, and being made to see such places and everything on it in a totally different light.

The other day I went to the market with my one year old. I brought along my re-usable canvass bag that I picked up from Geelong, Melbourne while attending the IMPAC conference in 2005. Then we also brought along our egg tray that we got from our HK trip. Its a mountain kitchen accessory that is used to put eggs when you camp out. Actually you can use it when you go to the market. This yellow egg tray can carry a dozen eggs safely. I am happy to use my cloth bags going to market. I do not want to use any more plastic bags. The thing is I need to buy fish and the vendor had to put it in a plastic bag. Maybe in the future we will be made to bring our own reusable containers for such purchases in our local "palengke" (market). Then I found this interesting article in one of my e-groups and decided it earns merit to post it here. Soon!!! there will be no more plastic yehey!!! ************ Plastic bags facing restrictions around the world Agence France-Presse First Posted 19:20:00 ...
