Review Ideas

I've been a little short on ideas lately, so I am starting a poll. First, you have to comment on what pencil you'd like reviewed. I will then choose a few of those and start a poll. I will open that poll for one week for all of you to vote. Thanks!

Uniball, Clipturn

Uni Clipturn MSE-800
Hey Everyone, its Alexa. Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Well, it's been more than a while... Anyway, today I will be reviewing Uniball's 0.5 Clipturn. It was requested for a review so, here we go. I just bought it at Singapore and it has become one of my favorite pencils (but it will never beat Dr. Grips!). This pencil, being a multi, is a pencil and two pens (red and black). It has a firm grip and writes extremely smoothely. As you may have guessed from its name, the clip can turn a full 360 degrees. There's also a small place, as you can see, to hang a keychain. It has a fat plastic eraser on top and a fat grip to go with it. I would highly recommend this pencil. Its smoothe writing and great quality give it a final score of a 9!

What Happens Every Time I go through Customs

Hi everyone,

I was thinking about what to write for a new blog post, but I don't write much during vacation, so I can't do a review. So, instead, I will be telling you a funny story about what happens every time when I go through customs at airports. Being a girl, I have lots of clothes. So, the bag I check in is completely crammed by the time I pack my clothes. I only carry one bag, so I have no space for my pencils. Therefore, I have no choice but to put my pencils in my carry-on. The carry-on bags have to be scanned for things that are not allowed in the airplanes ( knives, scissors, liquids, etc. ). So, since I have an "abnormal" amount of pencils, they go through my bag EVERY time. Its kinda getting annoying to watch them check my pencils. I see the same expression over and over again. It was funny the first time but not anymore...
