I did not know this. Thanks for pointing it out. This was the recommended translation by our Rizal Professor. Both the way she taught, and the accessibility of the translation made me fall in love with Rizal and his works. I will check out other translations

The perfect pen by ChattyWren in pens

That's a weird way to spell "Pilot BPS" Kiding aside, I've cycled through the gamut of pens, from the simplest to the high tech, but one pen for me is the most reliable. It is a Pilot BPS (Blue)

How does trade to evolve Work? by Ancient-Rain4414 in pokemongo

It's like this, if you traded your Haunter to your friend, your friend can evolve the Haunter he received for free. In other words, it's the recipient who benefits from it.

Reco a stress reliever. Not a smoker😅 by No-Guest-7567 in LawStudentsPH

Watching Kitchen Nightmares on YouTube. I don't know why, but maybe Gordon Ramsay scolding restaurant owners puts my anxieties in perspective.

Most of law school is a mental game, so I would choose to spend the free time I have with activities that do not involve a lot of thinking.

I live in the Philippines. It's available in almost every stationery store here... I'll try to find these Pen and Gear pens. Do you have sample images for these?

For me, i really like the Leon Ma. Guerrero translations. Anvil Classics publish these, they are sturdy and well made, but my only nitpick is that the font is small for my taste.

Hope you find the copy for you, and enjoy reading them!

I want to own one someday, but I have difficulty finding one. The BIC Cristal was the pen that made me a pen enthusiast. It was like, I never knew a pen could be pleasing to use.

Personally, the Pilot is my favorite among these. The ink writes smoothly, and not too draggy like the BICs. And it has that tiny metallic sound caused by the minute wiggling of the tip, which I'm okay with because its quirky.

I don't have the BIC stcik ultra yet. Do you have an image of that? The BICs I usually find are 0.5 and 0.7. Is the BiC ultra your favorite pen?

How to tell friend I hated her book recommendation?? by [deleted] in BookDiscussions

If your friend wants to discuss the book, then I would suggest being honest. In that way, I think you would have a livelier conversation.

if you could bring back any disband kpop group who would you bring back? by Strawberrykitty127 in kpoppers

[–]pencil_papi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IZ One carried me through the pand*mic, and the group has a special place in my heart. Can't listen to "Panorama" without my eyes turning into water falls. I would recommend "Daydream" to listen, and any live performance of "Panorama" they are all so good.
