Survival, Pinoy Style

I came across this article http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage.aspx?StoryID=122651 when I was reading the news this morning (I try to read a couple of sites from outside our country every morning to get a different take on the news). Anyway, if people in the Philippines can cut back even more due to ever increasing gas and other commodity prices, I think I could probably do better. One thing I always notice in the Philippines is the people's happy attitude no matter how difficult the circumstances. Attitude + creativity = a much better outcome.
