Polaroid Instant Film Killed By The 21st Century
8:23 PM ON FRI FEB 8 2008
BY CHRISTOPHER MASCARI

Polaroid is closing its last remaining film plants in Massachussets so the oh so fun instant Polaroids will soon become a thing of the past. Well it's already a thing of the past, but this time it's serious since no more instant film will be produced.

Over the last two years Polaroid has stopped production on the instant cameras and now it's the film, which will be available till around next year. It was only a matter of time till Polaroid killed off the film since it was obviously a declining / nonexistent profit. So for all those Polaroid users out there, were sorry, looks like you'll only have another year left to take random pictures at house parties.

Ayun, sadness.

Kuba Bryant

I was in a canteen. The canteen's radio was tuned to a masa station. There was a group of guys eating at the other table.

DJ (over the radio): Iiiiiiiiiiiit's.... joke time! Sino ang NBA Player na laging nakayuko?

One of the guys, to his buds: Si Kobe Bryant yan, pare. Malamang si Kobe Bryant yan.

DJ: Sino pa? E DI SI KUBA BRYANT!!! (canned laughter and quirky sound effects)

Guy: (triumphantly standing up) Haha. Sabi ko na nga ba si Kobe Bryant yun e!

NOW AVAILABLE: Pocket Size Ruled Moleskine Notebooks!!!

Yes, you heard me right.

Moleskine Ruled Notebooks now come in pocket sizes! These babies are cute, believe me. They are 3.5"x5.5" and looks exactly like the proverbial black book.

Only Php600 each, these wee note keepers are perfect gifts for the professional or wannabe writer, the obsessive-compulsive nitpickers, or just doodle-happy penners. If you want one, just drop a message or call these numbers: 09175187770 (Peter) or 09178978562 (Jasmine), and we'll arrange a rendezvous for you to start your 192-page journey to mini-Moleskinerie.

Still available: Large Ruled Notebooks and Large Sketchbooks for Php750 each (for Biggie-sized Moleskinerie).

Moleskine Update! The Possibility of Pocket-Sizes!

Anyone interested in Moleskine pocket-size ruled notebooks (3.5" x 5.5")? I need at least 6 or 7 sure buyers so I can lower prices. I forecast that I can sell them around Php550 I guess. They would be perfect for Christmas gifts (hint*hint).

Large ruled notebooks and sketchbooks are still available at Php 750 each. If anyone's going to buy in bulk for Christmas gifts, let me know asap so I can arrange for a discount if ever.

I'm counting myself as one preorder. Who's with me? :)

Best Bat-Gadget. Ever.

How... uh.... ingeniously misogynistic.

Trilla in Manila (Pen)

Of course there will be people who will take what happened last 29 November 2007 as laughing matter. Cases in point:

• Text messages. Someone sent me this the day after:

Lessons learned from Trillanes

1. Pwede pala maglakad from Makati Trial Court to Manila Pen.
2. Kasya pala tangke sa hotel.
3. Pag naposasan pala taga media, nakakalimutan ang nag-aaklas, sila na muna pinag-uusapan.
4. Di pala maganda si Pinky Webb pag walang make-up.
5. Kulot pala si Ces Drilon pag di nag blower.

• Pictures

With apologies to the gay community, I found this one lying around some site:

And of course, The infamous Wigged Magdalo Soldier:

I thought that the armbands were cool at Magdalo's first attempt. But the wig is taking it too far.

Why do you think that I still work for the government? It's a hell lot more entertaining than watching telenovelas.
