The Best Things in Life are..Free!

Im a sentimental freak... I collect anything and everything, most especially if its FREE! My fascination for freecards started during a trip in Bangkok. I remember being handed out in the mall with a bunch of these cards for a Japanese Green Tea bottled drink they were promoting. Since these cards took awhile before it became available in the country, my access through freecards were limited to gifts from friends (who didn't find it useful) and freecard-looking-postcards. Imagine how thrilled I was to see the first freecard installation at Fullybooked Rockwell last year. My trips to the mall became YoCard hunting, getting every design available. I became obsessed with Yo Cards.

For their first anniversary, an exhibit was held at the 4th level of Fullybooked Bonifacio High Street.



Me and P had a blast going through all the Yo Cards showcased, which according to Kimmy and Alfred were collections from different countries.



They even gave away these wire stands, of course for FREE!



My personal favorite would be the Monopoly money for Silk Air. Unfortunately my photo was exposed (darn)...



Oops...



P going through walls and walls of Yo Cards. I think he's already convinced why I hoard these cards.



If I can just take these cards home!



According to Alfred the free card concept started in Spain.



It has already been around since the 70's or 80's (if I remembered it correctly).



These cards make good bookmarks too aside from being a collectible!



The best part of it all, it's ...



I'm counting now my YoCards...long way to go for a wall installation...
