^haha always carry backup cartridges with you para pag naubos saksak kagad. Baka gusto mo i-try sis yung Lamy. Kita kasi yung cartridge niya so you can assess kung gaano na kadami yung nababawas na ink sayo. Sa Parker and Inoxcrom kasi nakatago sa loob so malalaman mo nalang pa paubos na pag medyo gray na yung sulat, not black na haha

Oh I luv this thread.

I always buy ballpens at MUJI.  The color choices are nice and they write well.
On my travels to Europe my souvenirs is stationery, even hotel stationery makes my day.  I keep them in a box and sad to say dont use them because they are so pretty.
I like going to SM, their little bookstore department has nice envelopes for keeping stuff.

Cheers to my fellow Office Supply Geeks

^^^Welcome :)

I had our first exam kanina, dala ko talaga yung bottle ng quink haha Tamad na ko mag-cartridge. Nasasayangan ako sa cartridge eh. Sayang lang kanina, traffic papuntang Eastwood, di na ko nakadaan sa Scribe.

^sis dala mo bottle...naku yan ata di ko kaya gawin...baka matapon sa bag...kayang paunti unti bibili pa ako ng pens...kaso di ako makapili ng pen...2 palang fountain pens ko and both from parker...babasa paako ng reviews kung anong ok pa...gusto ko din ng iba ibang color ng quinks...hindi pa ako nakapunta sa scribe...try ko dumaan one time...

sabi ng mga friends ko dami ko daw notebooks....hindi nila alam na i write a lot...as in kahit anong maisip ko...yung starbucks planner ko nga parang naging journal/diary ko...kulang pa sakin yung page kung minsan...kaya i bring small notebooks with me...pag may naisip akong look(make up combo), recipe and even quotes sinusulat ko...nakakatuwa kasi...pati mga work related somewhat narereview kasi ako when i do that...

next time maghhoard ako ng inks ng trodat ko...kala ko kasi strictly black or blue lang...pwede pala ibang color... ;D...excited na ako...

^Secured naman sis yung bottle hehe I always make sure na nakasara siya ng mahigpit. Dati na namin gawain yun ng mga classmates ko lalo na kung naka-converter kami. I remembered nung 1st year kami, may isa lang nagdala ng quink so kahit during exam mag-eexcuse kami para makahingi ng ink haha!!!

Nice din ang Parker especially for beginner. Mas type ko yung nasa P600 range nila na silver lahat. Meron kasi ako nung itim yung body and red yung body (black and red ink, respectively) pero naninibago ako sa nib. Ang pangit ng handwriting ko pero dun sa silver ang body, maganda kaya napabili ako ng backup. Its nice na after 5 years, andito pa rin siya sa akin :) Lucky pen na tawag ko sa kanya.

Super nice ang mga inks sa Scribe especially J. Herbin kasi ang dami sobrang colors to choose from! Kaya nga ilang days na ko nag-iisip isip bumalik para sa isang bote ng ink haha

Oh, about my J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary Ink. Grabe, ang ganda niya sobra! Especially sa Moleskine paper. Lumalabas yung gold flecks talaga. Pati mga classmates ko amazed na amazed.

^ Haha, I've been meaning to bring a bottle of quink too but I don't want to get the "stares". So far, ako lang ang practitioner ng "lost art" sa amin. Btw, if I may ask, ano ang price range ng Lamys? Baka naman mawalan na ako ng pamasahe pauwi. Also yung Inoxcrom, may separate stall ba yun or just among the "other" pens sa NBS? Can't seem to find it in Greenbelt e.

Ay yung gold-flecked ink mo, I can imagine bongga yan in your exams  ;D

lol. madaming na-encourage sa "lost art" ha.

it's not only fountain pens. it is penmanship in general. i read an article on yahoo a while back na pumapangit na raw ang penmanship ng lahat ng tao because of the use of computers. Ang penmanship daw ng  6th graders ngayon ay penmanship ng 3rd graders a decade ago or something to that effect... or at least sa US. i could say na nag-aapply di yun sa mga taong may access sa computers here sa pinas.

kaya tayong mga office supply geeks ang nasa forefront ng pagbuhay nito. bongga nga lang kay sis clem kasi calligraphy na yun. :D

^^Naku sis, di ko magamit yung ink na yun kasi red siya with gold flecks. Pinangche-check ko nalang ng quizzes namin haha

Yung Lamy Safari, eto yung plastic yung katawan, nasa P1400+ siya. Yung Lamy AlStar, aluminum yung body, nasa P2200 or P2400 ata. Hanapin ko yung receipt bukas. Sa NBS may mga promo sila lalo na sa AlStar kasi may free ballpen from Lamy din. Tapos aliw yung pinakita sa akin, 3-in-1 siya. Meron pointer para dun sa mouse pad, may mechanical and may ballpen. 1 pen lang siya tapos depende sa ikot kung ano yung lalabas.

Yung Inoxcrom, depende kung saang NBS yan kasi di lahat meron hehe Ang napansin ko meron sa NBS Megamall. Dun ako nakakita ng maraming designs. Meron din sa mga Fully Booked yan.

Ako lang may dalang bote kanina haha Majority kasi naka-sign pen or gel pen eh di kasi strict yung prof na yun when it comes to fountain pens and since sanay na ko magsulat talaga nun, yun ang palagi ko ginagamit sa mga exams.

^yung silver lahat hindi ko binili kasi meron na akong ball point and sign pen version nun kaya sabi ko iba naman...i have black jotter and blue vector...mas ok vector for me...pero i want to try out other pens...parker pens last a lifetime basta gagamitin lang ng maayos...kasi some of mine pamana pa talaga...sabi kasi ng friends ko dami ko daw parker pens sabi ko bigay lang nila mommy at daddy yung iba dyan...pati yung SA sabi wala na daw silang ganun...

gusto ko sana bumili pa ng inks kaso eto na naman ako hirap dalhin paalis...saka nalang ako bibili sa US ng iba ibang kulay ng quinks...ok na ako for now sa blue and black inks for fountain pen and kung iba iba naman i have hexaplus as an alternative...bawal din kasi sa work makulay, actually red and green lang acceptable...

^^^sakin ok lang yun actually kasi nagagamit namin sa work...at least 100-300 stamps a day yung sakin...i had mine for more than a year now and ok pa siya gusto ko lang ng ibang ink... :D

^How much pala ang Trodat? Gusto ko kasi magpagawa din ng stamp. I had a stamp before kaso medyo kikayish ang design eh haha Kahiya i-stamp sa materials ko. Medyo possessive lang ako sa gamit ko kaya may stamp palagi kaya pag pina-photocopy, kasama yung stamp ko haha

Parker Vector hates me. Pag nagsusulat ako, ayun may ink na ko sa kamay pero pag iba ang gumamit, aba ang linis. Onga, sa US ka nalang sis bumili. Marami pang brands. Balak ko nga magpa-ship sa JA ng sangkatutak na inks. Naghahanap pa ko ng reliable sellers pero so far, ok naman yung na-post ni sis Clem na mga online stores.

^sakin ok naman vector, considering na matagal na akong hindi gumamit ng fountain pen...about trodat, mga 400-500...di ko na matandaan yung exact price...i had mine in 3 lines kasi...mas mura yung 2 lines...sa sm north ko pinagawa yung sakin then binalikan ko after ilang days...sa hospital kasi necessity ang trodat at pen...lahat nilalagyan ng trodat with signature above...not unless masipag kang isulat buong name mo with signature above 200x a day...nakakapagod atang isipin yun ah...ok lang din kung hindi time pressured,,, :)

^Thanks sis :) Papagawa na nga ko. Name ko lang naman haha

Yung classmate ko patawa eh, nagpagawa ng stamp sa Recto, nilagyan niya talaga ng Atty. sa unahan ng name niya. Tawa kami ng tawa. Sobrang personality niya talaga yun.

I found the rest of my fountain pens. Andun lang pala siya sa organizer ko.

I hate Gift Gate lol Kahit dadaan lang ako dun napapabili ako ng kung ano ano haha

I bought a pen kasi ang ingenious ng idea talaga. Magaling tong mga hapon na to ha.

http://bit.ly/dTmUk8 - jelly yung nasa bandang tip. Pag hinawakan mo siya, masha-shape niya kung anong shape nung finger mo para di ka magkakalyo pag matagal ka nagsulat. Galing no?

I also bought these HK pens:

May bling bling yung cap niya, parang crystal something. Ang ganda sumulat kahit manipis lang siya. 0.38mm yung tip.
