Ballpen of Colors


I can no longer remember how many pens I used in writing, printing, and drawing. Probably in millions! Of course that's an exaggeration.
Let's say about hundred thousands!

I like collecting different variety of pens , but can't seem to know what happened to most of them. When someone borrowed it, no one has ever returned it back. Saklap naman.

My first pen was the basic Bic Ballpen. It was the choice of Filipino students in my time. I usually borrowed my Father's pen - Parker (fountain pen) for calligraphy. The ink is expensive. He used Pilot ink for that one.He doesn't really want me to use it, besides it's priority official used only for his signature. For signing important documents in their office. When I was in High School, I decided to use Bic ballpen and another pen that looks transparent. I forgot the name. Darn! In College, I was in between using Bic again, then Rotring and Staedler. The two tech pens belong to my brother who at that time was taking a course in Architecture. While I use those tech pens for drawing. Yes drawing flora and exotic plants for my Botany subject. I also used T-square not the ordinary ruler for keeping my notebook neat and alignment with the theme I preferred to do. Lately, as I graduated from those techy stuff I console myself to writing journals; anything that I could think of. And of course ballpens are my best of friends when it comes to writing. From Cross to Schaeffer, Pilot, Hi-tech, Pierre Cardin, RSVP pentel, Staples CLX, to Uniball Vision Elite to Uniball Impact. What ballpen should I try next time?
