Regarding parkers, refrain from buying their plastic barreled pens. Or at least the cheaper ones. I have a hotter that's less than a year old and may cracks na siya. And I rarely drop pens! Boo.

^Sakto lang sa akin yung medium pero pansin ko dun sa plastic ko na Parker, makapal talaga siya and I am assuming na medium nib din yun.

I found a sample of a handwriting with a medium nib for Lamy:

Naglaway naman ako sa orange Lamy niya haha

Sis mooncake, naghanap ako kagabi sa net for it. Wala na!!! Special Edition talaga siya. Nakakainis!

Meron din special edition sa Pelikan. Neon yellow siya tapos ang quink niya - HIGHLIGHTER!!! Ang kulet sobra. Eto siya: http://bit.ly/hnlU0w

Sis shopaholic18, if you can hold out for it, kahit 1 bottle lang ng quink ang bilhin mo para di sayang pag alis mo.

Sis Clem, arrrggghhh... yung pink at orange Lamy's!!! haha I want those!

Sis pomegranate, try mo muna sis yung Lamy sa Scribe. I'm not sure lang kung nagpapa-try sa NBS. Ganun ginawa ko to see kung magugustuhan ko ba siya sumulat at yung feel mismo.

Sis Faith, go na! Nice siya pero so far kasi ang Lamy lang ang pinakamahal ko pang fountain pen pero ok naman ako sa sulat niya.

^I haven't tried the blue and black from J. Herbin pero here's what I have:

Pelikan Brilliant Black:
http://writingandscribbling.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/pelikan-brilliant-black/

Maganda yung pagka-black niya than Parker :) And I also have the Blue Black ink din from Pelikan.

Naku, nakaubos na ko ng quink pero it took me a year and a half pero ang saya mag-collect ng iba't ibang colors ng quink. Plan ko i-collect yung sa J. Herbin.

I agree. Go for inexpensive ones na then start from there. Practice practice then pag ok na, try other brands na.

Weee... sana matuloy kami bukas sa Eastwood. Gusto ko na mag-Scribe haha

My first practice fountain pen was Inoxcrom's cheapest FP at around 200 pesos. Super sulit. Unfortunately, I lost my pen when someone borrowed it and never returned. Sad.

Re: Parker Jotter. Oo, sobrang kapal lang niya mag-lay ng ink! Nakakalunod especially when using Herbin inks. Kaya I use my Pelikan ink sa kaniya kasi hindi kasing dulas ng Herbin si Pelikan ink.

I want to visit Cosmos Bazaar sana for those Pilot 78Gs. I ordered my 78G abroad pa because I wanted the Broad nib na wala dito sa Cosmos Bazaar.

I saw the Orange Safari... oo naglaway din ako. :))

^Ang weird no? Lalo na pag medyo makapal din at mabilis mag-absorb ng ink yung paper. Ang pangit tingnan. Kaya ginagawa ko nalang pang-underline or highlight ng notes ko yung Parker pens ko.
