To ease his father's burden, Pineda quit school and volunteered to strike out on his own. He spent about two years on the streets, sleeping wherever he could: in public parks, or on a narrow bench outside a friend's crowded house. He earned meager money by collecting glass bottles, newspapers, and scrap metal and selling them to recyclers. He would also go to the pier with his friends and take on odd jobs like cleaning scrap metal and docked ships. He didn't have much to eat, sometimes rationing a small package of Marie biscuit as food for two days.〔("Arnel Pineda on Sharon (Aug. 10, 2008) English Hardsubbed " ) Retrieved on April 14, 2010.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arnel Pineda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
