The Notebook

It has been two years since I graduated from my second, and, I'mholdingmybreath, last degree. Sometimes, I miss going to school: the routine, the talking with friends, the holidays... But I miss buying school supplies more!

Ny Minute Now asks what's my favorite school/office supply and one thing immediately pops in my head: NOTEBOOKS!

I remember telling a law school classmate that I went shopping that early weekday morning. "Wow, shopping!" he remarked. "But I had a hard time looking for my favorite brand of notebook," I rued. "Notebooks?!" The look on his face was of utmost pain.

My notebook criteria: the pages must be smooth and white; the line spaces must not be too wide nor too slim, just right; there must be a sufficient number of pages; with covers preferably made of plastic. The spiral must be of a particular kind, I don't like the continuous ones. It must be easy to turn the page and write on the dorsal side of the leaf. Am I rambling?

Gah, I miss buying notebooks for school. :(

Hi, just left this comment back at my blog but pasting it here as well :)

Oops, sorry it's taking a while for that email address to set up, Google is still verifying it. Please email me instead at mariel.chua@gmail.com, thanks!

The purple sharpie at the end (that's the one you meant, right?) is actually more fuchsia pink. Do you still want that color?
