        I still see blank VHS tapes being sold at Landmark. I have no idea why, although it makes perfect sense why that stock isn’t moving.

      Wallet-sized physical photos.

      Di ko alam kung sa school or area lang namin, pero uso before yung studio pics ng barkada. Usually after exams maaga dini-dismiss yung students, so diretso sa mall after and isa yun sa mga madalas puntahan.

      I used to store mine in casette tape cases and may mga ilan din akong napuno.

        Photo studios nowadays are aiming towards occasions/parties na lang. Unlike before na kahit saang Kodak branch, may maglilinya mapa-bata o matanda.

        And dang, may photo booth pa sila dati, eh.
