A preference for Green Apples.
25 April 2006
I took receipt this weekend of another batch of 152 x 216 mm Green Apple notebooks—adhesive-bound this time, but its interior pages are the same thickness and the rule-line color the equivalent grey of its spiral-bound sibling more commonly in my possession. I make this request of travellers from Manila, and I answer to each traveller why of all possible things I have taken advantage of their offer and expense to only lug around a few cheap notebooks (and a reasonable quantity of polvoron and pastillas de leche, natch). The answer is never completely resolved to any of those travellers, for who wants to hear after a substantial international trek the rantings of a paper junkie? I doubt there are many who would wish to know the answer in any condition, though I resolve to publish it here simply to make it known, and less likely, perhaps to stir among my readership a great demand for these notebooks from Filipino travellers to come.
