Office Supply Geeks

[blatherina]

I got the 3-hole punch (cheapie version) na pwede ring ilagay sa binder. Daiso store, either 66 or 88 php -- I forget

I urecycle office scrap paper for my visual journals and this works great for the giant binder I got.

I recently bought a fountain pen from Saizen. Not bad na rin for 85 pesos and for everyday use.

What does the Saizen fountain pen looks like? Di ko napapansin. I had a fountain pen before when I was 13 because I was trying to learn calligraphy kaso natapon yung ink sa bag ko, so I never attempted to have one again since I relied on printers already but I was thinking it would not hurt to explore ulit but I’ll start cheap.

For vintage office supplies, masarap mamasyal sa Recto. Old pens. Old notebooks. Ang saya. May mga vintage parker, sheaffer sign and fountain pens.

I have fancy over "vintage" items as well, or at least vintage-inspired or reproductions. Ito ang isa sa finds ko: http://pleasantidleness.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/postcards-airplane.jpg

The old notebooks look like what? Meron ka bang nakikitang old Holly Hobbie prints? I was born in the 80s, and my Mom had a collection of Holly Hobby address book back then from the 70s. Too bad di ko na appreciate, ginawa kong sketchbook.

In relation to school supplies, nagpost na ako nahiya na rin ako kay Heatherette kasi ako nag suggest pero siya talaga ang masipag mag share. Siguro I’ve been saving it for Project 365. Anyway, ito yung paper clips that I got recently:

[Heatherette]

^I like! Sana meron sa Landmark Trinoma. Dun kasi ako malapit. Saan siya banda sis sa Landmark?

[pomegranate]

Hindi nga pansinin yung mga fountain pen sa Saizen. Cream colored plastic body ito. Medium nib.

Sis, hindi ko napansin kung may Hollie Hobbie. Share ko lang itong link na ito.

[Heatherette]

^Wow! heaven pala itong Recto. Takot lang kasi ako pumunta dun kahit may kasama

I remembered those Golden Gate notebooks too! haha

Some NBS they still sell red and green quink pero nasa cartridge na.

[pomegranate]

^ oo nga, kailangan laging hypervigilant pag adun.

^^ Aiden, nice link I also saw the handwriting, that was so frustrating ang ganda ng handwriting. Sige maghanap ako sa Sazien para may pang practice muna.

[Heatherette]

^Onga eh haha Tsaka maganda marami kang kasamang... lalake haha

Ang ganda ng handwriting niya! Gusto ko tuloy mamili ng calligraphy pens haha

[aiden]

lol. kainggit di ba? ang saya pa ng mga ink niya.

OK lang naman sa Recto. Iniiwan nga ako mag-isa ng asawa ko pero sa Book store niya ako iniiwan. lol Habang siya ay naguusyoso sa mga little kutingtings ako sa bookstore. Text ko siya pag tapos na ako. Bodyguard.

[Heatherette]

^Ang gaganda nga nung mga inks niya! Tsaka ang dami nyang fountain pens.

[Heatherette]

[yinandyang]

actually, more on pens and paper ako e. addicted ako sa calligraphy pens, gel pens, metallic gel pens etc. i also buy calligraphy nibs and inks as well.  then i buy notebooks and especially love the ones wioth black pages, nagagamit ko kasi yung metallic pens ko hehe.

second best ko ang mga highlighters, i have different colors and also Post Its

[Heatherette]

^Post your supply sis!

[Heatherette]

Di ako nakadaan kanina sa Landmark. Mabilisan lang din kasi ako dun sa Saizen and True Value kasi inaantay na ko sa carpark haha Pero may nakita akong paper clips na tulad sa Landmark na nabili ni sis pomegranate. Circles/swirls nga lang yung design.

[pomegranate]

^ thanks for sharing the pic, sana makadaan ako sa Saizen one of these days Nice din naman yung swirl paper clips because still it is something unique.

[aiden]

Ang liit kasi ng J. Herbin cartridges so I buy by the bottle and I inject the original cartriges of pens (na usually mas malaki) with ink. Medyo mabilis kasi ako makaubos ng ink.
