Passenger Talesstories about my experiences as a traveler and passenger

My entry for the LP Back to School theme was a picture of ball pens. When I was in college, I noticed that even the most indifferent of students came to class armed with a ball pen and nothing else. No bags, no notebooks, no readings or books, only ball pens they whipped up from somewhere.

I remember one embarrassing incident involving a ball pen in college. It was already late afternoon and I and the other members of the registration volunteer corps were already sitting around resting after another grueling enrollment day. I was digging from my backpack for my Parker pen when a condom fell out of my bag. (The condom was one of those distributed in the school during the World Aid’s Day and I just stuck it in my bag.) My org mates looked at the condom, then they looked at me strangely. Then they went back to what they were doing. I was so embarrassed but I acted like nothing happened. Hehe.

The first ball pen brand I can remember was Kilometrico, from Papermate pens. My uncle was a sales representative for the company and he gave us free samples. I can even remember watching one of the lunch time variety shows that featured a game sponsored by Kilometrico where the contestants would see who could say Kilometrico longest. I do not know if the brand is still around but I have not seen it in the past few years.
