There has been natural disasters left and right – super typhoons causing flooding, earthquakes etc. Most of which are caused by our own undoing. These calamities are the environment’s way of shouting Enough, of the abuse we are subjecting it to. In our own little ways, we can find ways in order to do our share and help out. We need to find ways to constantly think about how to reduce waste materials, especially the non-biodegradable ones. We need to recycle our waste materials.

Speaking of recycling, I’m extremely fascinated at this cool truck that was restored and completely improved and re-designed by 3 Japanese buddies. The said friends were not even engineers to begin with. But somehow, they managed to salvage this sorry-looking truck…

to this cool one that could give Optimus Prime a run for his money.

It may look like any other small truck, but don’t be fooled because the said truck can transform into a two-story mobile dwelling unit. Wondering how that happens and how it looks like, well check out the pictures and be amazed too.

Having a man in the house, and a man that can fix a lot of things, is something that is priceless. Personally, I think this is something that you need to consider when looking for a mate. Okay before, you go any further, please take note of the word personally in the previous sentence. I do not mean to impose or sound like a know it all, just writing down my thoughts. In the same way that guys are looking for certain skills (cooking, sewing, cleaning etc.) and other things when looking for a good catch, I think it’s pretty fair to have the same thing for girls.

• Carpentry – It will be very bothersome to have to call a carpenter every time something needs fixing at home, like changing a door knob, drilling a hole to put a curtain rod, etc. These little things should not be too hard for the man of the house.
• Plumbing – Basic plumbing issues like changing a leaky faucet is something even a teenage guy could work on, so there should be no need to call a plumber. All it takes anyway is a water sealant.
• A little know how and problem-solving skills in the field of electricity is also essential. Changing a fuse, or finding out what’s wrong with the circuit breaker should not be that difficult for your skillful partner.
• Computer skills – For this one I give my husband a 2 thumbs up. Even friends and extended family call on him when they need their trusty computers to be fixed. Even if my husband is a Business Administration major, he could fix a computer and build one just like any other techy guy out there.
• Auto-mechanic skills should come in very handy as well. You do not want to be stuck with a guy doesn’t even know how to change a flat tire.
