Lady Netizen Elicits Reactions From Online Community Over Ballpen Post
A lady netizen has gone viral online and earned reactions from internet users with her ballpen post, sharing, “Healing my inner teenager phase.”
On December 19, 2024 (Thursday), the Facebook page “Klasik Titos and Titas of Manila” shared a post from a lady netizen about how something as simple as buying pens can reflect deeper struggles and personal healing. The post elicited reactions from the online community.
In the post, a lady netizen identified as “annemazona” shared photos of blue and red sign pens, and explained their importance to her. She recalled how these pens became part of her journey to heal the struggles of her teenage years.
“Maarte ako sa ballpen. Why? Healing my inner teenager phase. My Papa was jobless that time, nakikikain lang kami kina Lola ko noon at one time nawalan na ng tinta ang ballpen ko. I asked Mom to give me some money para bumili ng ballpen,” she said.
During her younger days, her family faced financial difficulties after her father lost his job. They relied on her grandmother for meals, and one day, her pen ran out of ink. She asked her mother for money to buy a new one, but her mother found nothing in her wallet, not even a peso.
“Tumingin siya sa wallet ni-piso wala siya, tumalikod siya at nakita ko nagpunas siya ng luha sabi hingi na lang ako kay Lola. Imagine Panda ballpen na tig-limang piso ‘di namin afford,” she added.

Holding back tears, her mother asked her to borrow money from her grandmother. Even a five-peso “Panda” pen was beyond their means. It left a lasting impression on her.
Now, as an adult, she can afford to buy several pens at once, a small but powerful reminder of how far she has come.
