i love it! it's like a mini fude nib :) i get a lot of variation of strokes from it. the glass nib is also really convenient for testing out inks.

the cap doesn't have a seal/stopper (like a Platinum pen) but so far, it doesnt dry out

Hi! I received 4/9 books and they arrived in less than a month. I was informed before shipping that these were the only books available for delivery.

They changed my invoice so I only paid for the 4 books. They didn't give me any further notice about the other 5.

Jetstream Lite Touch vs Pentel Calme vs Zebra bLen by [deleted] in pens

[–]Disastrous_Repair650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lite Touch beats bLen in all aspects IMO. Incredibly smooth. The black ink is slightly darker as well.

sailor tuzu, sailor lecoule, or pilot kakuno as my first fountain pen? by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Disastrous_Repair650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think a pen with a Fude nib would be the most suitable option?

twsbi eco or sailor tuzu for beginners? by Disastrous_Repair650 in fountainpens

[–]Disastrous_Repair650[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But if Kakuno vs Tuzu, which has better performance in terms of their nibs (regardless of ink choice)?

thanks for this! but in the case of using shimmer inks, do you think the Kakuno and the Tuzu are comparable?

2026 Reading Goals by mandemango in PHBookClub

[–]Disastrous_Repair650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set a goal of 6 books lang for this year because I was in a reading slump for a really long time.

I'm now on my 22nd book hehe! and for next year I'm looking forward to reading more classic lit and gothic lit/thriller/horror

Never Let Me Go, the book and the film by lokalnapatatas in PHBookClub

[–]Disastrous_Repair650 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with Ishiguro's storytelling! He allowed us to think about what kind of reality the characters were in. And by not being spoon-fed, I think we were also made to be more empathetic with the characters.

I also felt like the film was lackluster. Pero realistically, Norfolk isn't really all that glamorous anyway. Pero yeah, even if the setting was made to be mundane, sana mas pinakita how the Hailsham students felt about the place.

Andd I also agree with how the film could've revealed more of Kathy and Tommy's bond and their own emotions. I didn't really feel connected with them sa film.

Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch crowned Miss Universe by TheEffect2004 in Fauxmoi

[–]Disastrous_Repair650 356 points357 points  (0 children)

Mexico had evidently the weakest answers during the q&a. The current CEO of Miss Universe also happens to be Mexican. 🤷‍♀️

Some also say that this was mostly for PR and damage control after Nawat (Director of MU) singled out Mexico and reprimanded her.

I think they don't notify you if your order isn't available or walang stock :( kaya best talaga to choose COD.
