Pinoy Storage Hack Guide

Pinoys love to put away stuff for long period just in case they will be needed in the future. It’s a good concept but only as long as the things you put away stay in good condition and in manageable space. You’ll never need a shipping company in the Philippines to ever relocate your goods elsewhere nor will you need moving people: all you need are desiccants and tons of tissue paper rolls.

Put a desiccant


Desiccants are those little packets or mysterious whatever stuff you find in food packaging (mostly imported Japanese processed food) with a warning that it is not edible and that it should not be eaten. Desiccants are activated carbon that absorbs moisture from the air. Moisture aids in the decomposition of materials that’s why desiccants are placed well inside food packs to help protect them from moisture related spoilage.


Use a desiccant in boxes that you need to protect from moisture in the air. Leather shoes can go brittle with moisture. Personally, I use desiccants in my boxes of trading cards because trapped moisture inside the box can easily destroy them.

Use a tic-tac dispenser

Tic-tac dispensers are small, durable, and convenient. That is why Tic-tacs are easy go-to candies. Given the versatility of the dispensers, they can be repurposed to contain and manage a great number of things like small nails, needles, your earphones, condiments and spices, glitters, pins, ribbons—most small things that need be dispensed.


Repurpose tissue cartons and Pringles cans

A tissue roll’s middle carton, when collected and stacked upon each other can be a good space saving organizer. It’s cheap, it’s easy to acquire (depending on how much tissue you consume), and with a little bit of imagination, it can look awesome. In the same manner that tissue rolls can be turned into organizers, Pringles cans can also be alternative spaces. Pringles cans are perfect for the same things that you can put in a tissue roll but the cans have the added bonus of a lid. Use a can for your pasta or marbles or homemade Pringles.


 Wrap bottles in wet tissue

Probably one of my most favorite hacks of all time; no need to wait too long for your beer to get cold in the freezer! Just wrap it with a wet tissue paper. Although do take into consideration some factors that physics says will make this actually helpful.


Make sure that the tissue is wetted with hot water. Hot water is evaporating and it is this evaporation that will cause the tissue to freeze faster thus will make your beer icy-licious. Also, make sure there are tiny air pocket spaces in between the bottle and the paper so that the process does not invert into the paper freezing over while the beer is insulated within.
