Beware of jewellery snatchers

I’m a careful person when it comes to wearing jewellery. I am not comfortable showing them off especially when I’m out on the streets. I only wear my gold earrings once inside the venue or inside the car. For instance, during Sunday Mass, I wear my earrings inside the church and take them off when dropping by the market to buy some fresh fruits and veggies.

It’s best not to attract people, particularly the bad guys, with jewelry while out on the streets. Flashy earrings, necklaces and other accessories are tempting to snatchers so make sure to take them off especially in crowded places. Thus, reserve those diamonds and other precious accessories for special occasions and wear them only in safe places. It’s better to be safe than sorry!  

Weekend brainstorming

I really had a great time yesterday. I met my schoolmates from graduate school and we dined at a Thai restaurant. Our conversation topics ranged from food to politics and especially the environment and waste management. We also had yogurt for dessert at another food establishment while talking about selling used items and setting up a garage sale as one of my friends was thinking about giving away some old glassware which were just gathering dust in their house. We also talked about setting up an educational program for kids, such as having a library equipped with textbooks and other educational materials. It was a spontaneous brainstorming that late afternoon and we plan to meet again this weekend.
