What is trash?

• 

Trash is dirty, worthless, leftover debris. Fittingly, the word is also a terribly derogatory term for useless, low-status people: “I should’ve known you were nothing but trash.” And to trash talk is to brutally criticize or gossip about someone. You can even use trash as a verb, to mean “throw away,” as in, “I’m going to trash this trashin that trash can over there.”

How to make less trash

• 

Think about whether you need an item before you buy it. Can you make do with something you already have? The more you buy, the more trash you will create, so if you can make the items you already own do double duty, you will create less trash in the long run.

Do not buy overpackaged products.Avoid buying items packaged in individual serving sizes. Buy one larger bag or bottle instead of many smaller ones. Since you are paying for less packaging and shipping, you may also pay less by buying in bulk.
Ask your butcher to wrap your meat in peach paper only, then attach the price on top to keep the paper folded. Peach paper is a strong, water- and oil-proof beef or pork wrapping paper normally used to split stages of meat inside a Styrofoam tray. It is available in rolls or in sheet.
Buy fresh, unpacked, fruits and vegetables.
Buy grains, pasta and dried fruit in bulk.
Look at whether the package is recyclable in your area before you buy.

Use your own bags when you go grocery shopping. Both paper and plastic bags do the environment little good.Bring a canvas bag with you to the store.
Ask store clerks not to bag items that have their own handles (milk, bottled laundry detergent) or already have bags (produce) or packages (cereal). Often, the package an item comes in is at least as convenient as putting that package in another bag.
Ask for no bags if you only bought items that you can easily carry or if the items are going straight from cart to car to kitchen.
Pack your purchases yourself. You can pack them your own way and save time and bags.
If you cannot avoid getting a plastic bag from the store, reuse it as a trash bag for the bathroom, bedroom or kid’s room.

Just recently, CNN named Manila as one of the greatest street food cities in Asia, wherein it stated in its article that Manila is “a city filled with street food options”. The Philippines entirely is a haven for street foods. Why? Not only it is cheap, but it is also found in almost every corner and of course, delicious!

What is your favorite Pinoy Street Food?
Street foods as well are good source of income for many Filipino families. You’ll see a lot of them selling street foods outside the church, school and office premises. Street foods are also great alternatives for students and workers who would want to have an inexpensive meal.
Here’s a top ten list of Filipino street foods. A price will be placed for some foods and is based on Davao prices

Fishbals

FishBall Pinoy Street Food
Although there are already fish ball stalls found inside the malls, nothing beats the fish balls sold on the streets. For five pesos only, you already have 7 fish balls in a cup topped with either a sweet or a spicy sauce.

Proben

Proben Pinoy Street Foods
One of the deliciously tasting street foods in the Philippines is the Chicken Proben. Proben is essentially the proventriculus part of the chicken, which is dipped in cornstarch and then deep-fried. The price for this street food is from 4 pesos to 5 pesos only. With that amount, you get a stick with 4 probens. You can have it dipped with either vinergar sauce or sweet sauce or just have it plain.

Kwek Kwek

These street foods are hard boiled eggs with an orange colored batter coating and cooked deep fry. Another version of it is Tukaneneng, to which they use quail eggs instead of chicken eggs. These foods are served with cucumber and some spices, of which you can choose to top it with vinegar and salt.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
