today i bought supplies for the kids ministry at church -- glue, oslo papers, 16 non-toxic crayons and folders. we're going to have a puppet show on sunday and i was in charge of some of the props.
i love the stationeries section of the bookstore. that was my hangout place when i was a kid until probably when i was in high school. naaalala ko pa one time... my grade school friends and i would walk from our school to what can be considered our mall back then in novaliches -- the uniwide sales warehouse club! my friends would hang out inside the store and gawk at home appliances or browse through food shelves... ako, i would just stay at the stationery section... inspecting the ballpens and testing them out one by one deciding which one to get... jello or ink? in the end, panda na lang :) by the time i was in high school, i switched to a different kind of ballpen... one that doesnt easily blot out when you drop it: Pilot ballpens! i also tried Bic ballpens at some point and 'yung Kilometriko! haha!

i would enjoy looking at different designs for notebooks (remember the artista notebooks that have springs as bindings?), inspecting the various shapes and sizes and functions of post-its (but never buying any because i could not afford it then) or paper glues (remember elmer's?) or erasers or pencil sharpeners... just deciding which envelope or art paper to buy would take me more than an hour then. ewan ko ba, i feel at home in a stationery store. nung high school, i would visit Gibson's or Goodwill's before i go home (sa SM Annex) and if i was able to purchase a bookmark or a gift wrapper which i could use to decorate an "album", masaya na ako nun haha!
hay, grabe... ang dami ko naaalala just because i went to buy materials for our props.
good memories. masaya :)
