Where do we go from here?

Hello, blog! It's been very quiet here. No posts in 2021, which is sad.  I don't remember things/events very well which is why I like writing things down on my paper planner and taking pictures. The app that I consistently use on my phone is Timehop because I enjoy getting reminded of the past through pictures and videos. I'm on a 1500+ day streak! With the kids, it has been awesome/bittersweet to see how much they've grown. However, some things are not sufficiently captured by notes on a planner or pictures -- state of mind, current perspectives, events, challenges and inspirations. A friend's blog post linked on Facebook prompted me to revisit this site and consider its future. In the past, this was my way of documenting events primarily for me and eventually for the kids to look back on. I think that will continue, but maybe inject more stories here and there. Also, I spend too much time online scrolling mindlessly through people's posts. This will help me sh...

Workflow Matters

One key challenge that has prevented me from posting is workflow related to pictures. A few years ago, I had a really good one. I used Picasa desktop version to edit, direct upload to Google photos, and then linked the photos in Blogger. It was streamlined and easy, and the main reason I stayed with Blogger when most people have moved to Wordpress or some new, sexier platforms. A few things that broke this workflow: Picasa has been discontinued by Google and there is no comparable option. It was free, easy to use and had very useful features. Most editing software now have fees/subscriptions. Taking more photos using my phone vs. the digital camera. I had a very organized folder structure for pictures taken with the digicam and they're saved in the laptop + external drive. Ideally I want phone photos from the same event or dates to be in one folder, but I haven't figured out a way to efficiently do this. I transitioned to a MacBook last year and now have to deal with the quirks...

Ayoko sa Plastic!

Makati has banned the use of plastic !  I remember this was announced last year but they had to give ample time for businesses to find alternatives so it was implemented only on June 20.  We were at Cash and Carry on Saturday and they are now recycling boxes for groceries.  We have been bringing our own reusable bags so this is not an adjustment for us but I appreciate that more people will now do it, albeit forced.  We were in Alabang during the weekend and this has been implemented as well.  I am all for it. Plastic, once touted as the best invention of the century because of its versatility and durability has become so ubiquitous and the waste products are now unmanageable.  We now know about the great Pacific garbage patch  and the some of the consequences as chronicled in the Midway Project by Chris Jordan . This broke my heart... This issue that has resonated with me long ago is even more important now that I'm a parent.  We have a r...
