Eat some noodles, save the world

Ever since I lost my wonderful red mug at the office to God-knows-who (damned kleptostalkers! ), I've been gleefully using -- and throwing away -- the free paper cups at the pantry.

Oww. Al Gore is gonna be friggin' mad at me.

I "sorta" hate statistics as much as the next guy, so I won't be dropping any data about climate change and solid waste volume and all that boring stuff. All I know is from my miniscule environmental conscience. It just feels pretty bad that all this paper is going to waste, when I could "save the Earth" by drinking from a reusable cup. It helps cut back on company expenses, too, so we all get that Christmas bonus! *I hope*

But since I'm too lazy and too stingy to buy a cheap mug from Glorietta, I kept sending in paper cups for a new Payatas garbalanche.

And then, today, I got hungry and craved for some noodles.

Mmm... cup noodles. Death in 60g of monosodium glutamate pleasure! I like havin' these babies during my work-a-thon days because they are very good at supressing hunger for long periods of time. Plus, they taste better, and cost less, than most restaurant soups.

And then -- I bet, by now, you have the same idea as I do -- I had a brainwave and realized I can use an empty noodle cup to replace the mug that I had lost!

Never mind if it isn't Starbucks-material. Aside from helping the environment, why recycle a noodle cup for your drinking needs?

* Cup noodles are available in almost any convenience store.

* They're very inexpensive! Plus, you get two benefits from one purchase -- you get a nice hot meal, and you get a nice drinking cup.

* The cup is sturdy, waterproof and has a good resistance to heat.

* No damned kleptostalkers would ever want it, so you're sure to have a drinking cup whenever you need one!

Just now, I had washed my new drinking cup, but it still smells badly of soap, and I don't have any time to rinse it, so...

Oh well, just for tonight, I'm drinking from a new paper cup.
