Last Saturday, the school held an educational trip to the Archival House for the highschool students. You might be wonderin' what's with that house since you may think it's merely just a house.

The Archival house is a 7,000 sq. meter property (if what I heard was right) and 80% of the property are made recycled materials. To mention a few, they've got a pendant (or chandelier) made of cup noodles, railings composed of empty soda cans, a swimming pool and a pond of rainwater, furnitures from wood thrown by people who no longer need them, a bench made up from a bangka, and more. Those are still from the house itself. There's alot more outside.

What caught my attention first (outside) were the green structures. There were alot and inside were vegetable gardens. They've got solar panels as well. These utilize the sun's energy (or solar energy) for electricity. We also fed the goats with malunggay leaves, aren't these leaves bitter when raw? There was a place for compost or fertilizer, a utility for biogas, a lagoon with fishes living in it, a place for wall climbing, etc. We even thought the cars parked outside the house were recycled as well. Lol.

So after the trip, we went back to school, ate lunch together with some of my classmates, proceeded to a house of a classmate of mine to watch Itazura Na Kiss (which will be our musical play this coming Tuesday) then went to another house of another classmate to practice the said play. I got home around 4:00 pm (I'm not sure though).

So yeah, it was a hectic day and consumed most of my Saturday.
