Yellow Paperclip with Bright Purple Spots

Filed under: Around the Web, Just Making Kwento // riz @ 10:49 am

A few weeks ago, I posted about our paperclip project, asking you, my dear readers, what you think about paperclips. A week later, I blogged about where that paperclip project brought me.

I never really got around to disclosing how our little paperclip quest came to be. It was merely a dare: I blog, he writes a song. (And yep, we were fully aware that there’s something unfair about that dare, LOL.) Consequently, the helpless random object we thought about was, yup, you got it, a paperclip. The rest was history. Anyway, you can navigate over to that post again to listen to the song my friend, David, made ;)

On another note, look what I found.

I wasn’t really looking for it but spending time in Powerbooks last night unintentionally brought me to the children’s section, and lead me to this.

I’m excited to start my next great adventure.
Where will you take me?

I’ve read the paperclip story online already (thanks to Jun for pointing me to that direction), but I knew I just had to get myself a copy. For only 65 pesos, I got myself a keepsake. I love it! ♥

Simple joys, that’s what this is about, definitely. :)

Meanwhile, Lots of blogging to do. Up next this weekend, my date with them lovely ladies, and something about the latest gaming thing in the net today. ;)

Edit. Miss Nikki Dy-Liacco just gave us a heads up on her blog, which you can view here. Wee. We’re famous. LOL. :P She’s right, what’s more interesting here is the simple truth that worlds continue to collide. Yup. I couldn’t agree more.

Hi Nikki, glad you found your way here. Yep, you’re right about that. I really enjoyed reading your stories. Paperclips bind people together, yup, that’s probably the big picture. :)

Hello Ade, I hope you like my story too.

Hi Riz, thanks for the editor’s note! ;-) BTW, my last name is really Dy-Liacco; yes, it’s hyphenated, but no, it’s not my name + a husband’s. (But I’ve often wondered if I’d be allowed to hyphenate my name with a future husband’s name if I wanted to? Eh di dalawang hyphen na yon. Hmmm. But that’s another story.)

Ohh hehe my bad. I’ll edit it nalang po :) (Well who knows he’s collecting paperclips too. That would really be romantic :) Maybe we can expect a sequeal to your lovely book. Now that’s something to watch out for. :))

hi! i’m a fan of your blog and nikki’s, just like what i commented in hers, i find it queer that you are both referring to each other now, blogging six degrees of separtion? it’s such a small world isn’t?
