Plate-Oh

I came across an interesting product idea called the Plate-Oh!

Think of ten paper plates compressed into one. You just peel off the top layer once you are done with it, and you can use the Plate-Oh! nine more times. Think of it like an onion coupled with a cat's nine lives, only in this case, it doesn't make you teary and you get ten instead of nine.



Designed by Sahar Madanat Haddah, it won't be developed commercially for now.

I sure wouldn't want to buy it though. After all, we know the con of using a paper plate is that it doesnt really absorb grease, oil, sauce and any other liquids that are placed on it. Sometimes, we might even resort to using two paper plates to prevent any spillage on us.

What do you think? Would you purchase it?

The 不倒翁 cup

In the cold freezing climate of the office, a cup of steaming coffee is but heaven. Till that clumsy oaf beside you knocks it over, and sends you down to hell.

Stay always in heaven with the Mighty Mug!

BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, microwave-save, it has a very very firm grip on the surface it is placed on. So when you push it, it just leans over but doesn't topple. To activate it, you just flex and flick it with your fingers as you set the cup down, and voila, no more spillages!

You can get it from Thinkgeek at $14.99 USD, more info here.

Always did, always do

The possibility that I'll lose you
Reduces me to tears
Leaves me in rambles.

To plan our future and not that afraid of it
What happened to fighting monsters
In the darkness together?

A curse that falls upon my head
One that brings insecurity to whom
I have chosen to spend my life with.

This stirring within my heart
And sigh of contentment
I know is not due to
Familiarity.

Oh my body,
Art thou my betrayer?
Have thoust grown a shell
So thick that truth
Cannot prevail?

I cry out to the heavens
At this turmoil I'm in
This conflict within me
This beating of my breast.

If only thou can feel
The love emanating
With every beat.

If only thou can read
My mind and its
Complex simplicity.

If only wisdom pours
From above and eyes
Are opened and thou
Can see that I come
Bearing no ill intent.

Body, betray me not.
Be gone from me,
Temptation and this
Sickening within my
Chest.

I love you,
Always did
Always do.
