My Quest for the Perfect Pen

By Blog Stories at 11/24/2007 12:33

I was in the middle of writing one day, taking notes while my professor was giving out lectures in physics. I had to rush my writing as she, my physics professor, was talking very very fast, sometimes stopping to write some formulas on the whiteboard. I went on writing nonstop for quite some time when, suddenly and to my utmost horror, the ink of my ballpens dried up! It was really irritating. I have this what I call a 'pen jinx', you see, and my pens usually dry up after a few days.

I find it hard to look for the right pen that won't dry up. Sometimes, when I get lucky, I can use a ballpen until it gets empty. But when I buy a pen of the same brand, again, thinking that it's the brand name I've been looking for (for years), I just get disappointed because it dries up before emptying.

I do not know why they dry up, for I make sure my pens are capped and I make sure that I do not drop them, especially in the case of sign pens, whose pins might break when dropped. I deserve more--we deserve more--than having these pens of poor quality. I pay for all the ink contained in these pens' containers, so I do not know why I cannot use it to the last drop. I have not mishandled them, so there is no reason for them to malfunction.

I just hope that these pens--ballpens and sign pens--from Office1000 will do the trick. They look OK, as far as I can see, and looking at their price tags, they look like they are worth the money it costs to buy them.
