It was a post from @JudyEv that inspired me to write this.
She wrote about a friend who has an impressive beer can collection. Now, for research purposes, I'd look up if there was similar thing here in Manila. Well, before I can look it up I decide to drop by the grocery and grab a couple of beer cans - in the name of research.
My initial thought is to collect two of each - one to rock (drink) and one to stock (to keep and display). It got me thinking though, 'Why do I have to limit myself to beer cans? Perhaps I can include bottles as well?' So I had settled on collecting both bottles and cans. I even got a couple to jump start my collection. Then it occurred to me, I'd drink one and what would happen to the one I'll display? Certainly, I wouldn't want to waste such fine brew. There are millions and millions of people working day and night to pour a cold one from the tap. Not everyone who wants to drink a cold beer after a hard day's work can afford to do so so me putting it only on display will be such a waste! So selfish of me!
So, I've decided the collection can wait. I have to liberate these brews from their captive bottles!

When my husband and I started dating and needed money we took his can collection and tried redeeming them for 5 cents each. When the machines didn’t take them we just threw them away. They were old and we were stupid to do that as they were probably worth a couple bucks each to collectors.

Really? No interest in collecting? Why?

I do respect your attitude about that but in this pandemic money is too precious. It's difficult to find a job why spend of such obsession.
