There’s a new city mandate going around in Pasig — No plastic sando (shopping bags) allowed.Heading into a grocery store will have you carrying out paper bags for smaller items, or large cardboard boxes for larger quantities. The fruit stalls near my place have also resorted to using non-handled plastic bags to carry your fruit in.

Me? I just detest having too much plastic around. 

Our favorite pet supplies store got it right — whenever James and I bought items from them, they’d take out one of their 7kg. pet food sacks, cut out an oblong hole near the top, and put our purchases in it. It was a great idea to use the sack like a bayong, but I thought, what if I needed to use my hands for something else? 

I decided to take it a step further, and now you see what’s come of it.

I hope to make “Friskies” and “Pedigree” versions of this bag soon.

Yyyyep. The doctor said it was an acid-related illness that was making my tummy, temperature, and balance act all funny yesterday. So, it’s a day of rest for me, and a sizeable amount of meds to take. 

That’s one thing I don’t like about getting sick — the price of medication. I mean, really, I realize I could have had a modest shoe shopping spree or taken my James to a luxurious dinner for two with the price of the pills I paid for earlier. Yuck. 

But health is health, and it’s better I take good care of it. Shopping and wining-and-dining can wait. (Alas, the meds are now playing a Monty Python joke on me and making me Madame Incontinentia Buttocks. egh.) 

So, since James was away, I’ve been cleaning up the apartment bit by bit. I also thought now was a good time to be more productive, and so I took a slinky-but-ill-fitting dress I had and made it into yoga shorts. Pictures to come soon! I can’t wait to take them for a test-workout soon and get back on my exercise horse. (Er, that metaphor made sense, eight? ^_^”)

But for now, sleep! See you guys bright and bushy later!
