4 Great Pens I Found at SM Bacoor
I purchased several pens last month at SM Bacoor. Its been a while before I am able to write about it since there’s a lot of things going on this month.
This may be a review or just info about the availability of the most popular pens that bullet journal enthusiasts are using. Most likely you’ve seen these pens a lot of times from YouTube or Pinterest. Not all of it is available in National Bookstores. Although, I am only able to go to National Bookstore at SM Bacoor and Uptown Mall, I truly believe that you may wanna find out where these pens are available or maybe just finding out how much would it be.
So today I’m just sharing the pens I got from SM Bacoor’s The Store (Stationery Section). These are the Pilot Petit and Sakura Micron. I also found a good alternative for Fine liners like the ones by Stabilo and Sharpie.
So let us take a look at Pilot Petit first.
The Pilot Petit has 3 variants.
1. Petit 1 – Fountain Pen
2. Petit 2 – Sign Pen(Plastic Nib)
3. Petit 3 – Fude/Brush Pen
I only got the Petit 1 and 3. The Petit 2 has a nib that is quite similar to Sakura Micron Plastic Nib pens.
I liked Petit Pens because of the following reasons:
- It is cute and very handy. I can surely put them in my pocket securely
- It is affordable and refillable. The pen itself won’t cost you more than 115 PHP based on the price at National Bookstore and Sm The Store. Although I find it cheaper at SM. The cartridges just cost less than 60 PHP for 3 pcs in a pack.
- It has several color options. Pretty cool for Fountain Pens.
- The cartridge refill is compatible with all versions of Petit Pens.
- I loved the Petit 3 Fude Pen. I can write modern calligraphy more legibly. I think it is best for beginners like me. I tried Fudebyori and Graphic Art by Zig but I can’t manage writing with them properly.
The only thing I didn’t like about the Petit Pens is the cap. Its cap is twisting a little when I write. I have to put the cap on its bottom to make the pen a little longer for a better grip. Otherwise, you’ll get a hard time writing with this pen because it’s too tiny. It’s more manageable to write with the cap even it is twisting somehow rather than no cap at all.
