This is my first time to join Green Monday Meme. I have my own share of preserving Mother Earth’s beauty but I am having a hard time writing about them. Maybe because I do not know where to start. Haha!

Anyway, one of the things I do to help save Mother Earth is I use less paper as much as I can. Working in the corporate world and using less paper may seem impossible but in reality, IT IS POSSIBLE. Last year, I bought a calendar planner because I always forget what date it is already. With that, I sometimes forget that there are upcoming deadlines too. That planner has 12 sheets.

This year, I decided not to buy anymore. Initially, I thought of recycling last year’s but the days are not the same. So I settled with this.

Now there is no date I forget and no deadlines to miss. Plus I save some trees because of my virtual desktop calendar. Oh, I save some ink too!

Maxyn at 9-months is now a. very fast crawler. I bought some big rubber playmats that we placed in our sala so she can crawl there. But like any other curious baby, she now wants to explore the whole place and crawls beyond the mats. We are worried that her knees will become dark due to frequent crawling or worse, she might get bruises. The same worries will be true once she starts learning how to walk.

Ate Meriam told me one time that the baby girl who is just two months ahead of Maxyn has knee pads. She requested that we also buy one for Maxyn to protect her delicate skin from scratches.

We were at Robinson’s Galleria last Saturday. We asked in the dapartment store’s baby section and even on the sports stores if they have infant knee pads but they don’t. Gladly, Nanay and Ate Meriam were at SM North Edsa where they were able to buy infant knee protector for Maxyn. They bought two pairs. That same night, Maxyn tried the green one and crawled endlessly until she reached our room from the sala. She also nearly reached the bath room!

This is also available in green and yellow colors.

I have been noticing for some time now that a bone in my right foot has become protruding. It was not like that before and I do not know what caused it. I do not have a very nice feet so anything that happens to them really bothers me because I do not want them to look uglier.

When I am out, people’s feet are something that really catch my attention. I already saw some similar cases to mine in women in particular, maybe because we are the ones who usually wear open shoes or sandals.

This is what I mean.

So I did a little search online and found out that my case is called Bunions.
