FIELD OF INVENTION  
       [0001]     The present invention relates to a writing instrument but more particularly to an improved pen having a detachable and refillable paper within the pen assembly with a pull-out/retract feature for convenient and practical uses thereof.  
         [0002]     At present, a lot and different kinds of writing implements and writing tools abound the market. Manufacturers have also devised different implements such as clips, hooks, and the like just to be able to make the pen practical, compact and useful.  
         [0003]     However, they forgot to incorporate the handiness of incorporating a writing pad that makes the writing instruments more useful especially in times of urgency.  
         [0004]     There are also pens that are provided with piece of paper but are of limited length and pulling it or tearing it poses a problem since the whole piece of paper is taken out making the idea inutile and useless.  
         [0005]     Also, said pens with piece of paper are quite heavy since they use a lot of parts that controls the movement of the paper within the pen aside from being cumbersome when replacing the ink tube because of the many parts involved in the assembly.  
         [0006]     Furthermore said pens are not convenient to use as they involve numerous moving parts. Also, said other pens only dispense paper and cannot retract the used paper back inside the pen for convenient and safe storage.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0007]     It is therefore the main object of the present invention for an improved pen to pro vide a solution to the glaring drawbacks apparent and inherent to prior arts by providing an improved pen with retractable/tearable piece of paper disposed within its assembly.  
         [0008]     Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved pen that is handy, elegant and practical to use.  
         [0009]     Still an object is to provide an improved pen that is effective, sturdy, affordable and with an easy to replace ink tube since the assembly for the dispensing of paper is different and apart from the writing pen assembly.  
         [0010]     Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an improved pen with piece of paper disposed within its assembly having an attaching means provided on its back portion for attaching said paper to any desirable surface thereof.  
         [0011]     Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be highly appreciated and be easily understood upon reading the detailed description taken in conjunction with the appended drawings.
