Memoir by Dickson Idlier

As I get free stuff through dumpster diving, a problem slowly materialized. Stuck with stuff I don't need but still useful. So initially thoughts to give away. The giveaway details are in my earlier blog post "Declutter in progress but where to get rid of my stuff?".  Below are pictures to show the magnitude of my hoarding problem. This is the state of my dining area

The "Filipino Project" is started by Singapore freegan founder, Colin Lau. The project collects usable small items (clothes, bags, kitchenware, luggage, bed sheets, curtains, blankets, stationery, soft toys, plastic toys, shoes, electrical and electronics, lingerie, etc) and gives them to Filipinos. They pack these items into big carton boxes and ship back to their hometown in the Philippines. The Filipino groups pay for the shipping costs usually. These shipped items are then given to their family members, relatives, or church members as some are so poor, they can't afford a meal. Some items are sold to pay for their essentials, like food, electricity, etc. Visayas group that came to my place. Still have 2 ladies that not in the photo as they came later. This is my 7th giveaway to this project on 14 September 2019.

My wife was worried I might go crazy if I meditate on my own.
