part 2: tarp shoes!

here's part 2 of my tourguide raket:  a trip to a shoe factory in Marikina.  this one is owned by a fellow mountaineer friend of mine, who had the idea of making shoes out of old/(over)used advertising tarps!



(full entry here)

here's the shoe he made for me :)

yet another "project" i should really be working on..... 

i have a dream

inspired by this book

i'm hoping to put up 'manang becky' or something like that.

a cheaper line of messy bessy -- so that green and healthier cleaning can reach out to more people, and so that more opportunities (through direct selling) can be offered to those who need it.

hmmm who should she be?

(some of) my other dreams for our city's depressed areas...

- container gardens (fruits & veggies & other crops grown from containers)

- "the toolshed" (a company that recycles old materials to mass-produce high-design furniture for all)

- non-traditional universities for all (non-traditional learning centers where people can get their high school / college diplomas / professional degrees without having to step into classrooms)

yun lang :)

brown out
