My Bullet Journal (rambles and feelings lol)

Hello, hello, hello! For today's post I'm going to share with you guys about my Bullet Journal! I made a video on my youtube channel showing you guys a flip through of my January setup and a "Plan with Me" for my February set up and you can watch it in the link below:

So the bullet journal I use is the Moleskin 19x25 cm dotted journal. I don't know why but it's pretty hard to find a decent sized dotted journal here in Manila, I've seen one in Muji but the size is too small for my liking, we have a Lechtterm 1917 in National Bookstore but no dotted one! The Rhodia one only has the flip pad version (which I don't like).. hayy so in the end I had no choice but to settle with Moleskin. (I walked back and forth Greenbelt just to find the perfect journal!!!)

I have so much feels for this because for one, it's expensive!!! The paper quality is not even promising *rolls eyes* I thought I was investing in a good journal because Moleskin is pretty popular but swear, the paper doesn't even hold ink well! If you see in my video, the inks definitely ghost through the paper *UGH*... next year, I'll definitely buy a different brand! *SHRUGS* In short, I don't recommend it at all.. huhuhu, my money.. :((

Anyways... My interest in bullet journaling started when I encountered AmandaRachLee's Youtube channel and binged watched her monthly "Plan with Me" videos. I find it so amusing and fun so when January came around, I decided that I want to start my own BUJO journey. I did mention in my video that my layout is heavily inspired by her. In addition, I also started following a ton of BUJO artist on Instagram and I was so inspired to start my own. Since then upto today, I have no regrets and I'm loving it so far. :)

The materials I use in bullet journaling is pretty much the same materials for my Lettering Essentials, so if you're interested, read my previous post to find out! ;)

Honestly, I can say that BUJO-ing has "changed" my life. As a freelancer, I have to keep track of my own schedule and deadlines. The reminder and notes app in my iphone was not cutting it anymore so the BUJO system is really a neat and fun way to be organized. But I have to say, if you do not enjoy doodling, layouting, designing.. then you might not find this enjoyable *AWW*.

Anyway, I think I rambled enough, if you guys want to see my setup, just click the link above! Go, go go!

that's all for now folks, see ya!
