Driving Safety

I have my share of bad habits and perhaps the worst one of all is allowing myself to be distracted by my mobile phone while driving. I always rationalize that I do this only when it’s traffic but I think I use that as an excuse. I have said it many times already, but till now I keep falling into old habits. Bad bad bad.

One thing I observed however, was that many drivers actually use headsets while driving. No, I’m not talking about those earpieces for hands-free use of the phone or perhaps one of those bluetooth motorcycle helmets so the driver can receive instructions or what not , but like earphones for music. CRAZY right!!!

Yesterday a teenager almost ran into my car because she had her earphones on. If I were her mother, I would have taken her driving privileges away.

Okay, I know I have my own bad habits so I shouldn’t judge, so starting today (AGAIN!) I will not use my phone while driving. Wish me well, please.

Missing Robee…

Now that classes are right around the corner (well, technically I’m three weeks in already since I teach in a trimestral system), I suddenly remembered the last minute back-to-school shopping stuff that I do. One thing that came to mind was my shopping trips at Robee stickers. That used to be a store in the corner right in front of San Lorenzo Village in Makati, but now they have been reduced to little kiosks in selected malls (which, I must say, can be a bit hard to find). I loved getting my name stickers there. Nowadays, however, there are a lot of options online and that has been a good alternative. Besides the regular sticker labels, there are also pressure sensitive labels (which can be personalized) available.

Besides the sticker names, Robee also had a whoooole lot of cute stickers, like the Lisa Frank ones that I used to love. How can one not miss a store filled with cuteness???? :)
