Help the Philippines flood victims

The floods in The Philippines have killed close to 70 and displaced over 400,000 people.

As you know, there is a big Filipino community in Mui Wo and they are doing their part to help their countrymen.

This is the perfect time to do some summer cleaning. Clothes and foodstuff are welcome and you can drop them off in the box outside China Bear.

If you want to donate money or bulky items, give Rolando a call. He's the chairman of the Filipino community here. His contact is 9612-5821.

Time for a spring clean

Buffalo Wibur and I are still living among boxes close to a year after moving in. So we took the poster from PALS (Protection of Animals Lantau South) as a wake-up call to reduce the junk. By the way, that photo is from our friendly community website, Lantau Link.

So we have decluttered, got one box of stuff which Jacqui very kindly drove up to collect.

Now we am feeling very virtuous. As the wankmeisters would say, it's a win-win situation: Your home gets cleared and the animals get food and shelter.

I highly recommend this as a cleansing exercise. You'll feel really refreshed afterwards.

Only thing is, we are planning to drop by the flea market this Sunday (Noon to 5pm at the DBay Piazza). The clutter may just come back...
