here's a warm welcome to our newest member, winston villamin, whose self-introduction follows: My name is Winston P. Villamin . I'm 33 years old, and a senior...
Welcome to fpn-p Dr. Winston! Will try to look for Aurora black ink from the stores here in the South. Any particular reason you want this specific brand and...
You'll find everyone here is just so warm and welcoming. I hope that you can join in one of the future gatherings, meet the members, see and test their pens....
Thank you very much, Chito! That's a wealth of info right there, and i never knew they had pens in Mustafa - i love that megastore! Looks like i have another...
i've had only one italian pen so far (and it's still with my sister in virginia, an aurora talentum with a broad italic nib).... now comes this FPN FS ad i...

That¹s a great price for a 360 Magnum! I simply can¹t get used to the shape. Omas nibs, in my experience, are springy and generous with ink. I¹ve yet to ...
Thank you very much.... The pen is beautiful and it is an urushi -- not the basic ebonite, hence it is a very good price... Posted a reply and sent the ...
thanks, leigh! i have to say i'm not charmed by the odd shape myself-- i'd have much preferred the 12-sided ones--so this is going to be one of those...
Yehey, buhay pa ang addiction! So, Butch D. now has several pens on the way and Chito has some new Maki-e beauties. The next meet should be a lot of fun! Sana...

There¹s a stationery superstore on the second floor of Funan, near the escalator. :) Kokuyo FTW! :) I like their blank refills and the cloth-covered binders...
Thanks for the tips, Leigh. I will be in S'pore Aug 19-21, after a quick trip to Bali. I was planning to look for fp friendly notebooks.. This onfo really...
hi, butch, my friend prof. greg bankoff tells me you guys took the same bus ride down baguio, and found out that you were also into pens and knew me! small...
Hello Prof Butch, To make the world even smaller -- I met Greg Bankoff several times in 1987 in the National Library and National Archives.. I was Research...
Hey tokayo, Yes, we though it was pretty funny that he would happen to meet the (probably) only two Butches that collect FPs in the Philippines. (Can there...
Oh gawd...now he knows four FP collectors. Five if he knows Ambeth as well. He actually thought it was odd that we collect FPs. Common reaction, I guess. Most...

Dear Butch, Very nice pen...it was supposed to be first of a six series of Asian-inspired pens by Sheaffer.... They collaborated with Royal Selangor to make...
