I bought my first moleskine notebook last year and I love it. Moleskine notebook is said to be the notebook used by famous artists and writers for years. Think Picasso and Hemingway. I think that statement alone got me interested in owning one. I wanted my own notebook. Who …

Just recently (around April or May 2010), I had a very bad experience with an HSBC Manila, Philippines credit card customer service agent over the phone. It was about the finance charges they added to my credit card bill. I emailed HSBC by logging in to their website which …

Dishwashing liquid seems like a trivial, mundane item to do a product review about, but I just found one that has made my life so much easier. I suffer from horrifically dry hands during the winter, so much so that they often crack and bleed; I even have to …

One of my biggest guilty pleasures is buying a nice pen that would not only improve the quality of my penmanship, but also the neatness of my work. Therefore, when I bought the “Stabilo Galaxy 818 X-tra Fine Pen”, even though it was not expensive, these qualities are what …

I simply love this Pilot G-Tech-C4 pen — it is possibly my favorite pen after all these years. I am typically very fussy about the kind of pens/pencils I use — you could say I’m almost obsessive-compulsive about it. Yet this pen fulfills everything that I want, something that …

I have a small cafeteria or restaurant near in our house. There are times that there is super many costumers and that was really amazing because they really love the food we offer to them. My cook or chief are all very great. …

I like using Bic because it’s I usually have good experiences with these pens when it comes to writing (and of course only when it comes to writing because that’s what they are used for after all). With other cheap pens I’ve used, which I have no idea where …

Another pen that’s really not that great, considering what you pay for it!
I dislike almost everything about these pens. For one, the barrell is so cheap, it cracks as soon as its too cold. The ink actually froze in one of these pens! I hate the gel ink as …

I’m wasn’t a believer in all those candle stores. I used to just walk by them and think that the people buying the scented oils and candles were crazy for spending so much money. “What difference does it make a candle costs $0.50 or $30.00?”, I would think. As …

I tend to go through pens rather quickly. Not only do I lose them fairly frequently, but I also end up breaking them by pressing too hard. I really like black pens because they are a little darker, and I love the Super Tips from Rose Art.
I really …

I have never been into the whole motor riding cars for kids. After my niece got hurt one time I was so against it. I think that they aren’t really made for toddlers. I told my sister this before but she want to take a few hundred dollars and buy …

For my birthday this year, my sister surprised me with the Parade Rose flower potted in a plant. I was very taken aback. She’d never done anything like before. Besides, I have a very brown thumb. I had one plant which lived for a good …

Needing a scientific calculator for my studies, I went to Superstore and left with a brand new Media Programmable Scientific Calculator SC-2000. It’s a medium-size calculator that had all the functions I required, so why not?

I’ve always used those Papermate erasers for all of my erasing needs, but one day, a horrible thing happened.

I would never have seen myself as ever wearing a Tilley Hat; in fact, this brand has been a bit of a joke between my husband and me, because we tend to think of these hats as hats for old people. In Western Canada, there are Tilley Endurables stores …

Oh my, oh my!
I had originally had such high hopes for this product when I purchased it! It was, after all, a cleaner that had cost me in excess of $5.00 and I had expected it to perform. Perform it did, with some serious consequences!
I purchased the Arm …

I love writing and I also write some poems whenever I get some spare time. When I was a student I used to get the full marks for good handwriting. I always use the Cello gel refill pens to write because these pens are best for writing. …
