just a thought...

There should be T.V. ads that show bloody accidents resulting from not following traffic rules (there may already be abroad but I have yet to see one in the Philippines).

Yeah bloody, horrible, gory, gruesome consequences for being irresponsible motorists. Pedestrians too!

Because as I see from the stupid driver I chanced upon this morning, he doesn't have a clue how much misfortune he'll bring to himself and others just because he doesn't want to be late for work and no traffic enforcer was present. If there were these violent ads and he have seen them many times, he surely would think more than twice before speeding past a red light. He may even later equate red light with blood.

The T.V. ads may not really feature real people and gore, stick-figure animation will do -- they're cute and will get the point across.

Few Things I Learned Over The Weekend

  • A company with offices at some sleek building in the city's prime business center doesn't mean it's better off than the firm that can't give you your own work station.

  • Be careful what you wish for, you might get it faster than you thought possible.

  • House plants make beautiful pets. And you won't even have to worry about their scratching the furniture.

  • Pots/containers for house plants have drainholes and may come with a free dish.

  • One of the best places to hang out is at that bamboo bench just outside my apartment, at mid- to late-afternoon.

  • Bell peppers aren't for everyone.
