Fountain Pen in Shotglass

I was using my inked fountain pens to write on my new notebook (to be posted later) when I found out that my Inoxcrom Vivaldi doesn't write properly. I thought the ink in the cartridge has ran out or dried, so I replaced it with a fresh one. But that did not help, as the lines coming from my pen's nib is still broken and wobbly. Hmmm...

Tatay’s birthday came around during the first week, and we...

Some Perks

I've been out of touch lately, I know... And I'll start posting again by end of this week, to make up for all the missing posts. But for now I'd like to share something my good friend Consol sent me today.We were talking about the stalkers who are making my life a bit difficult lately, and perhaps in her effort to cheer me up, she told me this: With great power comes great responsibility.
