Alright I guess i am not sure which forum to post , hope it'd be fine here.
I am sure you guys take lots of pictures, how do you usually store them? I think a lot of people develop their own film and do you guys buy those pages you put negatives in?
how about slide? you like them mounted or just sleeved?

Keeping Ilford in busines
I keep my 35mm negs in archival quality book type sleeves in expanding three hole binders that are longs pins rather than rings. I have tab pages that I keep in the binder to divide the book into general topics. I only write dates and notes on the sleeve. For instance I have a book that is all urban street shots. The divider tabs say NYC, PHILA, NEW ORLEANS, MIAMI and each sleeve dated with a note that might say something like "04/17/2005-Times Sq". Thats as sophisticated as I can get.

The same as Roger.
I write the film number of each sleeve together with the location it was shot and the date.
So 05BW023 was shot in 2005 ('05'), it was a black and white film ('BW') and it was the 23rd b&w film I shot that year. I also use 'CR' for colour reversal and 'CN' for colour negative. When I scan the film I apend an incrementing suffix to the film number to indicate the frame on the film - Vuescan can do this automatically - so 05BW02301 is a scan of frame one, 05BW02302 is frame two etc.

where do you get those sleeves? I saw b&h has some but they're pretty expensive...
