    I brought a collapsible metal straw. Why? I am sick of throwing away plastic—I am just joking. We must be sustainable—blah blah, but how can I when I am still drinking from a one time use plastic cup from Dutch Bro? Dutch Bro and all those coffee cafes need to up their game.

    Okay—enough of this, let’s focus back to my story. Anyhow, my reusable straw came today so I tried it out with the not so friendly-drive-thru-cheap-one-time-use-plastic cup. The straw was good. Since I like it, I should have treasure it more. Irresponsible me have given my reusable straw its first trauma, the large garbage bin. Really, I just forgot since I am used to throwing the Dutch Bro cup away with the plastic straw—so I threw away the Dutch Bro cup with my reusable straw still in it. I wouldn’t even realize if not for me finding the straw case dangling from my belt.

    It was a oh-no moment before I threw my logic to the wind and ran out of my apartment hoping I could still save it. Lucky, today is Friday where the trash pile up quick high, so the Dutch Bro cup was at the very top and the straw laid out beside it. It was not effortless. In fact, I have to use a cardboard box to drag the straw closer to where I could reach.

    I saved my straw from a pile of trash—nauseating.

    What’s a recent moment of yours?

    P.S: bought the straw to simply test and travel use. Why buy a whole bag of plastic straw on the go? My suitcase is already full~

    I just found out that a place where I used to go to send DHL express letters is now closed down... have to go to another location , luckily I decided to look it up before going there.

    as for the straws- last year they had placed straws made of paper in many places around here. My sister in law also wanted to sell straws made of bamboo... the paper ones make the drink taste a bit different. I had a different bamboo straw with my drink once (not the one my sister in law is selling), it was rather think, that type of straw in natural and reusable, and even the drink tasted fine, but the thickness and “un-bendability” made it harder to drink from a tall glass

    Today my grandma's bird died, and it was very bittersweet, my grandma died 8 years ago and she had the bird for like 5 years prior, so the bird had like 13 years which to me was very incredible because I didn't knew they live that long, obviously it was really well taken care of so that's why it live that long. And yesterday it was very sad like it didn't wanted to move so everyone thought it was gonna die, so my mother and I went to see it and we took some photos of it to remember it. It was very special to see the life of a small creature come to and end in a good way and sad because it was something that make me remember my grandma every time I see it.

    What’s your sleeping posture? Stomach?

    What? I am thinking real hard here...an AI robot is a tool/property. It can be program to give consent, but why would we? If it’s your property, consent is always. If it’s not your property, you’re stealing someone’s property.

    I don't remember, I had this habit to stack my pillows, so maybe that's the reason why
