i really despised people who do not know how to dispose their used chewing gums. i am not holding their interest to that elastic thing. but could they disposed it properly. i was just so upset, this afternoon. while unwinding my self in one of the biggest malls in the country near the coast, i accidentally stepped on a chewing gum. it was a huge ball actually. my slip-ons almost give way. because that sticky object really sticks. my gosh! i almost freak out and let out a really big awfull remark, but hold everything back. as a reasonable fellow i do not want to embarrased my self further. i just silently cleaned (luckily enough, i still have wet tissues) my slip-ons, throw the trash (to the trash can, of course) and went on to my way. phew! what a scenario to end a day!

Like most trash that people discard on the streets it is done merely out of being lazy. I do not chew gum at all, because I do not like the way my jaw hurts when I use to. But I too have noticed it and shame really why not save the wrapper and wrap there and discard later upon reaching a dumpster. It amazes me sometimes when I see trash near bins and not inside of them.

thank you dear for that declaration and support. it is nice to know that you are not alone in the rocking boat. hope we can make this boat steady. let us advocate for proper waste disposal. actually i have been to this street somewhere in the most populated city of my country. before i really cannot understand, why there was flooding in the area. now that i have been to that area. the truth really struck me and broke me (hypothetically). there is flooding because of clogging. there is clogging because of the trash everywhere, literally everywhere! there are these so many groups of people selling all sorts of things everywhere in the area,literally everywhere! the police had already told them to vacate the place, because they are blocking the streets, and pedestrians and cars alike are momentarily jammed. worst! they make money out from these flooding thing. i feel very infuriated! these poeple has no sense of a community. other poeple having a migraine because of these garbages, yet others love to have it around. funny thing is this, the same poeple who throw garbages anywhere, are the same poeple who hated the government for putting them in such burden. haler! were they the ones making their own problem? ironic...
