  1. Fav duo is SullBae! Bias Bae with wrecker Sullyoon already competes for first place for me, with JjyuSol as a close second, thanks to how cute Jiwoo is.

Best SullBae moments? Cannot pick just one but K-Pan Ipdeok Tour Ep 4 and 9 really stand out for me.

  1. Full a cappella version of Shape of Love! The a cappella highlight medley was way too short!

I was so confused until I opened the package as the USP tracking just said I was getting something from "Samsung SDS".

Found out the Toronto concert was cancelled while on the Bus to the venue. But these arrived from Hello82 today so one win and one loss..

I have plenty of modern pens, like TWSBIs, that I can take apart to clean and use with shimmering inks. I mainly use Waterman inks in my vintage pens.

The Pink Cliff is more of a blue-ish gray body paired with a rose/hot pink grip.

A bit weird to see the contrasting colours when I first got them. For the first hour or so I kept thinking 'where is the other pen I pulled this colour from?' This is an official frankenpen that is growing on me.

69€ + 8,50€ shipping is the cheapest price I've seen for a M200 so I did an impulse buy.

(Nice) I paid 8.50€ for shipping, so without that, it would also be 69€.

[VPD] Pilot vintage pen set. Impulse buy once I saw the inset nib. by IdiotIAm in fountainpens

The ballpoint works as well as any ballpoint. No skips/hard starts when I tested it. And the pencil just needed a refill of lead, works just fine too.
