Missing Pens


Tombow. Japan made pens. Quite expensive. I wonder if they are still available in our local bookstore now. I just miss them so much. During late 80's I remember how I just wasted the ink of every Tombow pen by simply doodling and scribbling with it on paper, not knowing how expensive they are. Then I appreciated the value of Tombow pens when I went to Hong Kong and saw the UNIQLO shirts with Tombow design. Now it's an icon.


Kurecolor. Another Japan made pens. Quite expesive too. During college I remember a professor of mine required each one of us to use Kurecolor as our pen marker for coloring our illustrations. Some of my classmates protested because the pens were expensive---while I was just smiling and feeling proud because I had 2 sets of Kurecolor. How I miss them both.
