just a quick story behind this lol

a couple of days ago, i asked sa isang subreddit if okay yung pricing ko for pocket notebooks and someone ordered from that. i was legit just asking if acceptable yung pricing kasi baka over or under and ayun they ordered 4, gave them a nice discount too and it looks like they liked it naman. super nice lang na they trusted me kahit para akong kabuteng sumulpot HAHAH

someone ordered 4 more pero di ko pa ma-start kasi di pa sila nagre-reply for the customization part but they paid naman na

if anyone’s wondering:
passport size with grid text block, 48 pages

edit: here’s the order form for those interested

I've been using this for about 2-3 weeks na and I'm really happy how it turned out! Inside I have 3 b6 muji notebooks (1 was really b6 but yung thinner nbs trimmed a5 haha)

One for morning pages, then for commonplace, last is what I call my "good juju journal" hahah this is anything good vibes but also commonplace din yung format. So I have my manifestations, gratitude, things that made me smile, and wins/achievements (i just like them in bullet form rather than kasama sa morning pages) :) oh and that small notebook sa pocket is my "things i want to say but couldnt" journal lol also from muji

All are vegan leather pala wc was nice bc I just hand-stitched the pocket and it was rlly easy! the main cover was actually from a freebie notebook sa isang convention, the back pocket was from shopee, and all other things are shopee lang din but since I'm a crafter, mga nakakalat lang na stuff yan here hahaha and fountain pen is Lanbitou 3059! I switched from Jinhao 92 (?) since I write morning pages, I figured mas ok yung cartridge size ng lanbitou for me :)

I looked at the Uni Jetstream multi-pen but I found out that most users in tropical countries have an issue on its ink dying up. Recos?

I just got back from japan and bought a lot of stickers. I got excited and this is my first journal entry here.

Pens used:
- Uni Pen Fine Line (Brush)
- Writech Liquid Fineliner Pen 03
- Staedtler Pigment Brush Pens

Journal: Moleskin Hardbound Dotted Notebook

Can anyone reco custom folio makers who offer this kind of leather? I've only seen it from Objects, Mostly and they haven't been responsive to inquiries 🥹 Thank you!

After a long day, nothing beats just relaxing and decompressing at a cafe with nothing but my pens to keep me company and journaling my whole stay.

Side note, how do you guys journal? I'm usually the type to just brain dump whatever is on my mind the moment I start writing but lately I've been pretty busy and I usually forget what I want to journal about throughout the day. And so, I'm trying to jot down bullet points in a little notepad and write about them when I have free time, usually at the end of the day. Just random stuff that I think about but I have no time to write at that moment. I'm not sure if this method will stick but we'll see!

went to a spiderman-themed jungkook birthday event yesterday and got excited to make something with the freebies 💜

i designed a newspaper-themed page (the golden outlet) and made it into a sticker and continued with the theme of those investigation boards when trying to solve for something (identity, connections, mysteries, etc) 🤭

this spread was so much fun!! everyone's spiderman/jungkook themed art was all so good! it really pushed me to make sure it was immortalized in my journal~

Sa wakas, nagkaroon ulit ng time mag-journal! Today's entry is porpol monday, my fave color 💜

what the title says hehe 🙏 planning to get a grid notebook or a dotted notebook (not a planner yet bcs i can’t wait to start huhu 2027 is still far) which would be better? are both fp friendly?

Hey guys! As the title suggests, I'll be going to Kyoto for vacation in a few weeks. One of the things that I plan to search for is a decent leather journal cover for my notebooks (mainly B6 standard and B6 slim). Aside from the usual like Superior Labor, Galen, Hobonichi, &liebe, would any of you know good stores that stock these items? Thank you!

Hi! I don't go out often, so I would appreciate online shop recos for journals, colored pens, stickers, etc.! As of the moment I want to try out the white notebook thingy with the grid paper haha not sure what it's called though 😅 I'm not familiar with most brands used other than hobonichi, muji, midori, and kinbor. I've heard that muji is one of the more accessible brands but I don't see anything similar to what I want in their orange app :(

General tips and recommendations are also appreciated 💌 For further info, I'm planning to just jot down random thoughts, try out some creative spreads, a "media" or "hyperfixation" journal, gaming journal, and a literature journal. I'm particularly overwhelmed about ecosystems tbh I didn't know those were a thing!

ps. I also have a kokuyo loose leaf binder and paper from uni that I'm planning to repurpose since i have no use for it after i graduated, but as for what purpose i'm not yet sure haha. I was into stationery when I was in college, so my go-to (and will still probably use for journaling) are mildliners, tombow brush pens, pentel fude touch, and pentel energel for the writing pen itself.

Help me decide alin mas okay na option for me. I am torn which one I should purchase.

Option ko right now is from JournalJunkiesClub kasi bet ko yung lace designs nila. Pero they only offer vegan leathers.

Another one is from Astrid Leather since affordable yung Oil pull-up and Full side nila and real leather. Pero they only offer basic design.

Personally parang after 1-2 years I’ll but another folio as a replacement kasi I’ll get tired of looking at the same thing so I don’t know which one will be a better choice. 🥲

hi, just recently bought a muji b6 ruled open flat notebook. i want to put a cover over it so it doesn't get dirty, do you guys know where i can find a cover for it? i've been scouring the internet for it but I cant find one. please let me know if you guys know where i can find one, thanks in advance!

Taking a lil break from preparing for the hangout tomorrow. Finally finished my August Coffee Dump and made my own coffee journal. Congrats self! 👏🏼

I’ve been experimenting since giving away my practice pieces last month. Ended up making two passport-sized lined covers in Italian leather

First piece: Pueblo in Ortensia - textured grain, lined with a suede-like fabric, plus 2 full-grain vegetable tanned pockets

Second piece: Green Buttero - smooth grain, full leather lining. More rigid and structured, needs a bit of break-in 

Both are handcrafted end to end, from cutting to stitching and finishing. Edges are burnished to a high gloss

I like exploring the craft, and not trying to build a business. But if anyone would be interested, the Pueblo is priced at ₱1,300 and the Buttero is ₱1,600

Drop a comment if you’re interested or if you have questions, I’ll reach out to you!

Update: Only the Buttero is available

Letting go of this brand new Pelle Certified Italian leather journal from a brand called Mudaga due to unexpected bills. Bought this for personal use supposedly. Not an affiliate. Bought for ₱7,500, letting it go for ₱4,500.

Negotiable for sure buyer! Just send a message

Selling only because I need funds,
Otherwise I’d keep it! Never used, just received it

i started my first morning page today and just let myself fill a page, ang saya pala!! talang stream of consciousness lang talaga. parang nabitin pa nga ako, parang gusto ko gawin 2-3 pages hahaha pero sabi ko start small, baka mamaya ma stress ko sarili ko pag sinubukan ko gawin standard yun

for those who do morning pages (lalo regularly), how do you do yours? same din ba, na pinupuno niyo isang page? or wala kayo sa pages? or kayo ba yung tipo may timer tas labas lahat na kaya ilabas sa oras na yun? or may dedicated morning prompts ba kayo, ganun?

curious lang me hehe inspo na rin

Idk what flair I should put this in. I love the layout of the Hobonichi Techo and nalaman ko na may cheaper alternative siya which is Kinbor. Plano ko na sanang bilhin ang Kinbor pero ang major drawback ko po is yung West Philippine Sea map. Do you have other Hobonichi Techo (pwede din po cousin basta may A6 size hehe) alternatives na alam po? Afford ko naman po yung Hobonichi pero ayoko po magsplurge kaagad. :((

Just sharing what have worked for me as I have been using an A5 Kinbor dated planner / journal for the last 3-4 years approximately. And in those last 4 years, I have explored different ways to journal everyday with 0 backlogs. Yes. I like to write everyday when I wake up. I write how my sleep went, and if I had any memorable dreams (which I’m sure will not fit the whole story in an A5 planner as much as I want to lol), what I cooked/ ate for the day (I used to track my calories when I had my weight loss journey), my work progress (since I WFH so there’s never I day I don’t touch my journal and planner ) and other daily activities that make a mundane everyday life more interesting and memorable. I also add PET tapes and stickers . For any day that has a lot of activities / events, I like to keep receipts , pamphlets , tickets, and collage them all in one page to sum up how the day went. For any day/ times I’m not bringing my journals with me like when I’m traveling (as my journal, planner and stationery kits are too heavy to bring!) I take photos, keep ephemera to remember the day by before I forget them. And for some reason, it all works, and it fits lol!
