Well… disposing litter the proper way will result in happier people. Who wants a clogged toilet anyway? Have you ever seen anyone smiling over a clogged toilet? May point, may point!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

July 8, 2006 at 6:46 pm (18 years ago)ok i have an issue about this throwing the tissue/toilet paper in the trash can –
i find it a bit digusting when you wipe yourself up, then place it in the trash – it’s a bit hygienic me thinks
why couldn’t they make or use toilet bowls that can handle having a good plumbing system?
but i’ve got a funny story to tell about this.
my sister who was 16 years old, went back to manila with my mom – first time visit for her since we came in Australia. shock of her life when the signage on the door was actually in tagalog.
she couldn’t read or understand it, but she can understand tagalog if someone talks to her.
anyway, so she did her business and as what most normal toilets do, it can take in toilet paper and flush away nicely – she had the biggest shock when the water started overflowing.
then the cleaner said “ma’am, hindi po pwedeng mag flush ng tissue paper, bakit di nyo po tinapon sa trash can?”
so she explained in a panicked voice all in english to the cleaner that how are people supposed to know what’s going on, if it it’s written in tagalog? “i’m not from here.. and i don’t understand it!”
cleaner, bowed and looked the other way and kept on cleaning the floor.
so anyway, i just find it weird how some toilet/cubicles in manila can’t hack having a toilet paper to be flushed down there.
but it was funny when i heard what happend to my sis. heheheh

(rolls in laughter)
