Stuff I Have Used As Bookmarks

[Mark]

I once used a pair of socks as bookmarks. I was in a hurry and I couldn't find any decent piece of paper within reach. It was that bad.

[Mark]

These days I often use price tags as bookmarks. They're quite sturdy, and they have strings attached to them :-)

[Berting]

A helmet's logo tag!LOL :D

[Jorie]

yep! price tags too. :)

and fast-food receipts..haha!

[Questian]

[Questian]

[Anthony]

Anything within reach by my hand can do the job of bookmarking.:)

[Ranee]

Tissue ng foodchain or coffee place! Bill statement ng kuryente at oo, resibo.

[Nibra]

20 peso bill. I could've used a 100 peso bill but I am poor, it went straight to my bill.

[Tricia]

I don't like folding the pages of my book kaya minsan kung ano na lang mahablot basta may bookmark. Hehehe.

Bus tickets, pens, hair clips, pictures, panyo, ID, etc, etc. :)

ginawang wallet ang book? hehe! :) you are indeed confident that you would never lose your book, otherwise you won't use your personal cards as bookmarks. :)
pde bang malaman ang pin number ng atm card mo? then i'll steal your book with your atm card and your savings on it..hahaha! :D

question: would you rather lose your wallet or your favorite book? :D

[Angus]

Kung walang mahanap, tatandaan ko na lang ang page number.

[Ranee]

Toothpick? Used or unused?

[Louize]

Sa dami ng nagkalat na bookmarks sa bahay, ewan ko lang! Pero in dire needs tissue or receipts. Then I realized na pwede akong maglagay ng paperclip sa wallet for emergency.

Ang daming gumagamit ng tissue, used or unused. At saan naman ginamit ang mga used tissue? (Parang ayaw ko na manghiram ng books sa inyo hahaha! Yung tipong pag bukas mo ng book, may surprise na nag-aabang!) :-)

[Questian]

Haha. wala kasi akon disenteng bookmark at ayokong tinutupi ung page ng libro, kaya ayun kahit ano kahit kuko hhahaha!

[Ranee]

Eversince I've joined GR and attended meet ups,napuno ako ng maraming bookmarks and keychains, so lately, I always have a decent bookmark for my books!

[Angus]

Doc: I hardly use the bookmarks that I hoard receive from the meetups! I store them in my bookmark box. :D

[Ranee]

Laging may extra eh. So I hoard another, one for my TFG memorabilia box and the other for practical use.

[Ycel]

Lookie here! Using the corners of old envelopes as bookmarks : )

[MissG]

ribbons (most of the time)
any paper within my reach (pag kinakaylangan)

[DC]

Hi! Makiki-comment :P

But to be on-topic: Any paper on hand! Cell phone. Panali sa buhok. Coins and bus tickets. Wig? (HAHA!) Importanteng papeles (NBI clearance, payslip, etc). Among others :P

>>> OMG, HAHA, PANALO KA MARK. But I think I've also used a piece of cloth (hanky?!) as a bookmark every so often too :P

>>> I agree! I actually got this idea from a friend, when I borrowed her book! She left a price tag there xD (hide spoiler)]

@DC

What?! It was flat. Oh well, a little flat, I guess, like, a few mm thick? Hahahaha the item description said I can use the damn thing as bookmark so I did. See? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]

Wait, why am I defending myself. LOLz. Howdy DC! :D

[Ranee]

Napaisip lang ako, yung pantiliner pagkatapos ginamit na bookmark, ginamit mo pa rin the way it is intended to be used?

[Ycel]

I've also used origami-inspired bookmarks.
(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)]
And I am intrigued by this for its awesome utilitarian value:

I quite often use old tickets or boarding cards from flights. It is quite fun to work out where you read / bought the book in question from the bookmark. I guess that I wouldn't dare using old socks as a bookmark for inflight reading.......sorry Mark!
