Cute colored gels pens

September 27, 2011

I like using brown pens because they look so much nicer on heavy stock cream paper that I like to use. And until recently I’ve been using the Muji retractable pen. My only problem with it is that it’s a bit too thick. So when it ran out, I was so happy to discover the UNI STYLE FIT gel pen! If you are like me and are addicted to office supplies then you will love this!

So many pretty colors! And no more problems with missing caps because it’s retractable! PERFECT. And SO cute!

The Uni Style Fit is the latest gel pen series from Mitsubishi Pencil Corp. These are a super slim version of the Uniball Signo DX, and we absolutely love them! It is an incredibly comfortable light and slim pen.

The ink in the Uni Style Fit is very bold and bright. We love that these gel pens never skip and write such sharp lines.

  • Available in 16 colors of ink
  • Now in .28, .38 and .5 mm ball gel ink
  • Retractable, click-top
  • Slim, sleek design

Aside from the basic black, I got to other colors: black brown and baby pink.uni style fit gel pen uni style fit gel pen

 

A word of caution though, because it’s tiny, it’s easy to lose. I lost my black brown .5 pen when I lent it to someone at The Ritz Carlton Risotto Cooking Class I attended.

When I dropped by Gramedia Bookstore (I couldn’t find this pen in Paperclips) they didn’t have it in the .5 size in that color, I ended up buying the pen body (it looks like this) and a refill instead. Picture of refills below.

I prefer the super simple design of the silver bodies (the barcode is plastic that can be removed).

One of the simple pleasures for me is a brand new pen. =D 

If you like more cutesy girly designs they also have em in polkadots!

The best thing about this is not just the way it looks, but the amazing way it rights. Super smooth!  Ah the simple joys in life!

Uni Style Fit pens can be found in Gramedia bookstores in Jakarta. The single pens are around Rp 18,000, while the empty pens + the refill will cost you about Rp 20,000 (or 2 USD est.)

    When I was in Japan a year ago, I bought these… OMG I love them. The best pens.

    They are used-up. I need the new ones.

    I’m from Europe and here’s no such thing. So I searched at major internet shops (exclude Japan – a bit afraid of) and found None.

    Would you be able to provide my some information how to get UNI STYLE FIT (0.5 mm) ?

    All the best

      The Japanese have the cutest stuff don’t they? Unfortunately I don’t know where to get them outside of Jakarta. Why don’t you try ordering them via Japanese internet shops? If it doesn’t arrive it’s not much of a loss because they are not very expensive. Sometimes I try ordering a few items on internet shops to test the merchants first. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. =) Enjoy your sunday and thanks for dropping me a line!

Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween decor collection so it’s not so heavy on the wallet. I’m so happy with this year’s finds & make sure to carefully store them so they have many more years of use.

It was @diplobaby’s idea to add googly eyes to the bats. So we did it together! I love the one eyed bats 🦇 and I love it when we decorate together! Definitely one for the core memory banks! 👻🎃🤍

I was tickled pink coz people would pass by and take pics, stare or even tell me good job. 🎃 Halloween is really my favorite holiday!

What do you think of our Halloween prep this year?

I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little too long for him this year but we sure got a kick from it.

VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT Every year I look f VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT

Every year I look forward to this event for families in our village. We also invite our friends outside the village coz it’s so much fun for families. Parents and kids can come in costume. It’s done beside a fabulous park so kids can run around and play.

The pumpkins 🎃 might be overpriced (the bigger ones went from chf 18 last year to chf 23 this year) BUT it includes the free use of NIFTY CARVING TOOLS, waste disposal, clean up & cute decor that the organizers have provided.

We draw together. TD removes the guts. Then @diplobaby & i do the carving together with our son and it’s a controlled way of showing him how to use the tools in a safe way. Which is something I appreciate in Europe.

One year we tried pumpkin 🎃 carving at home and clean up was a totally nightmare. Never doing it again!

Then when kids and parents are are hungry we can buy food & drinks. 

We go home with a carved pumpkin 🎃 & don’t have to do the clean up. The pumpkin guts are also turned into soup by the organizers.

It’s also a good way for parents to unwind, catch up while the kids play in the playground. We usually see our neighbors here too.

It’s a win win for everyone & it reduces unused waste. I love it so much!

We never did pumpkins before coz it would rot@so fast in Asia. But i  the past 3 seasons of doing this I’ve learned so many tips and tricks for pumpkin 🎃 carving - especially how to prevent molds and insects. Let me know if you want me to do a separate post on that!

Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted ab Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted about our #DiploHome.

This is our BALCONY/TRASH SEGREGATION AREA.

Because we use it to entertain in SPRING & AUTUMN (too hot & too many insects in summer) I made sure that the trash segregation remains AESTHETIC by using white @ikeaschweiz SEGREGATION BINS.

So far SWITZERLAND TRASH SEGREGATION in our experience is even more complex than GERMANY but it has led to at least 50% RECYCLING rate which is pretty good, even though Germany still has the highest rate of recycling 66%

Let me know if you want to know more about how we manage trash in our village.
