I know it’s cool to lug around the latest handheld PDAs like the Blackberry or a Palm, but when it comes to organizers, I still like to use my trusty planner. I use my cellphone’s calendar for back-up, but I get paranoid because I’ve heard stories about gadgets crashing for no reason.

Which is why I’m delighted to share with you this cool, cool find—the Belle De Jour Power Planner 2007, a daily planner designed for women who love to shop.

A few months ago, we wrote about an instant martini party service that can set up a bar virtually anywhere you want within three days’ notice (click here to read about that). If a martini party is too much for your humble needs, don’t despair, there is a worthy alternative—the instant taho party. With eight flavors to choose from: original, pandan, almond, chocolate, strawberry, cappuccino, langka, and ube. You may want to try this for your Christmas blow-outs next month.

Tofuriffic, a taho shop in Greenhills, can deliver the goods for your party for as little as P300 (4 liters, good for 10 cups of taho). You’ll have to put in an additional P400 deposit for the taho container, but this is refundable as long as you don’t destroy the bucket in a drunken brawl (do not mix beer with taho, for this and other reasons).
