See the LRT train about to cross the street?

For all sorts of screw needs, it’s highly likely one can find it in Tomas Mapua street. Very visible from the above picture is the Screw City signage, then there’s also Screw Master behind UCPB, and on the right side is the To Suy Screw King.

There’s some kind of a rubber band craze now, among children particularly, and this loom band thing found its way to my home even if I’ve spent zero pesos on it. Somebody gifted my kid…for it’s the “in” thing.

One can really gauge the hit factor of something through the viral way of it’s being replicated. It doesn’t matter to the masses if it’s the Rainbow Loom or an imitation loom. What matters to most are the acquisition of these colorful tiny rubber bands, and the pleasure of weaving these into jewelry, and accessorizing one self of this DIY stuff… for that’s the “in” thing.

Street vendors sell the rubber bands at 50 pesos per 50 grams
