Project Paperclip
I’m doing a little project (more like a dare), with a friend. Let me tell you about it soon. Meanwhile, help me out.
What can you say about paperclips?
Tell me anything. Thoughts, funny incidences with a paperclip (whatev), life changing decisions made with the help of a paperclip, jokes about paperclips, innovative ways of using paperclips, etc. Comment away. :)

This is Nikki, a friend, friend rin ni Jayveee. My Paper Clip. She likes paper clips and the colors purple and yellow. BTW, she won an award for her story.

I am terrified of paper clips primarily because of an incident when I was 4 years old which involved a paper clip and an electrical socket.
That’s all I have.

I like collecting random paparclips I just find anywhere, most of them found on the ground while walking around all sorts of places.

I used to form paperclips like that into hearts and make heart-shaped paperclips. :D

Hey Jun! Niiice. I went to her site and read EVERYTHING. :) Hehe. That’s really inspiring, to be mindful of all the paperclips, wala lang. Kakaiba na ang kulit. Thanks for the hats tip. :)

I used to contort paperclips into different shapes until the fateful day when I stupidly stabbed my right thumb with one.

Very inspiring Mikey, just what I expected from you. Thanks. :P

Nikki (of mypaperclip.blogspot.com) does that too, and I’m amazed. I’ve never found any paper clip that way. Like, they’re always on tables, or office desks, or under the table, etc. But never while walking on the road, or in the mall (just like Nikki). I really should pay more attention now. Hehe.
Thanks Markku. :)

paperclips remind me of maid in manhattan, remember that scene when the guy told J.Lo’s son that whenever he needs to speak in front of a lot of people. I did that once, it did not helped at all hehe

Paperclip ba ‘ka mo?
Nu’ng Elementary ako, may kaklase ako, na ginagawa niyang hairclip ‘yung paperclip. Cute daw kasi.
—
Paperclip ang isa sa mga salarin kumbakit naiwan na sa kasaysayan ang fastener-puncher duo na kinalakihan natin.
Ang paperclip ang isa sa naging karamay ko dati nu’ng editor-in-chief pa ako ng schoolpaper namin. Ang kawalan ng paperclip sa’kin, sa paghalintulad ko, ay pareho sa pagkawala ng lahat ng mga folders ng PC mo at sabug-sabog ang lahat ng mga files. Kumbakit ko sinabi ‘to, hindi ko rin alam.
Natutuwa ako sa “color-coding” system ko gamit ang paperclip. Bawat article, ito man ay news, opinions, kung anuman kategorya, o mga status katulad ng “needs more editing,” “to follow,” o “rejected” — nalalaman ko ang lahat sa pamamagitan ng kulay ng paperclip. Ang galing ng nakaisip nito. Wala. Kunwari importanteng sabihin ‘yan.
Siguro para sa ibang, ahm, medyo may sayad ang utak, may iba pang katungkulan din sa kanila ang paperclip. Ibanat lamang ito at lagyan ng cotton bud sa isang dula, may instant cotton bud ka na (with matching “kutchara” on the other side). Maari mo rin itong pantusok sa katabi mo kung trip mong mantrip. Para naman malaman kung may sirkulasyon ng dugo ang daliri mo, ipitin laman ‘to gamit ang paperclip, at presto! Kapag namuti at namanhid ang daliri mo, ito ang senyales na andirito ka pa sa mundo. ‘Yan, at marami pang iba na tinatamad na akong isipin.
Tama na siguro ‘yan at magiging korni na ako lalo… (On-the-spot kong ginawa ‘ya-an. :D )

Hi,
I assume you know about the guy who traded one red paperclip for a house last year?
That is possibly the most interesting story I can think of about paperclips!

I think I once have mistaken a paperclip as a hairclip!
I was in college then, and I was like figuring it out for a whole minute whether it’s a hair or paper clip! Stupid really, kase it had a nice glittery flower on it so I thought it’ll be nice on my hair. :)

Haha. Thanks for taking time, Jake. Paper clips mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Hmm. Let me blog about this soon. Maraming salamat. :)

Here’s my experience involving a paper clip. One day we were having sinigang na baka for lunch and while I was enjoying my share, guess what I found on my bowl? Yes, a paper clip. Dunno how it ended up there but I’m glad that it didn’t end up inside my stomach. :D

I love paperclips, particularly purple ones, and I named my business after them.

[...] and people, and ideas (and dreams) I never thought possible. One thing that surfaced in this paper clip project is that, what paper clips are for different people has gone beyond what they were originally made [...]
