During lunch, i overheard my officemates talking about how mungo beans are harvested.

"Di ba root crop yun?"
"Oo, huhukayin mo yung lupa tapos pupulutin mo isa-isa yung mga munggo."

They're joking, of course. But that got me wondering, exactly how do you arrive with the mungo beans? I know you get toge from "pre-mature mungo bean plants" - the bean sprouts. But how do you get to the bean stage?

"Parang sitaw yun tapos andun sa loob yung munggo."

Aaaa, right! Like the pods of peas. Hahaha, stupid me.

Once again, the faithful safety pins have rescued me.

============

It was a very bad combination: pouring rain, mrt ride, meet with friends, and my ripped pants (just don't ask where the rip is). The thought of sewing up my pants before meeting up with my friends is the only thing I have in my mind when I entered National Bookstore. Sadly, there aren't any needles there. But there were safety pins, thanks to the crafts section.

And so because of the safety pins, nobody noticed. :wink:

============

Because of Chedeng (heavy rains again), we were allowed to leave work early yesterday. I made use of my time at home by mending my overly large "uniform" pants (pants
again!). Since I don't really know how to go about with the repair, I decided to turn to my evertrusted pins. I managed to sew up my pants using the pins and when I tried
fitting the pants, it was perfect!

============

I never thought those pins would really come in handy. From now on, I'd be carrying my pack wherever I go.
