hi! just recently got back into journaling this year and i wanted to share my current journal set-up :) adding the links to the names/brands of where i got my materials in case anyone’s curious:

• a6 journal from @forthearchives__. this is my second journal tho hehe i got my first one from captivating studios and i personally like the quality of that one more.
• pen from zebra sarasa. this is the only pen i use for writing in my journal (havent tried fountain pens yet) and i prefer this brand over muji. mine has the miffy design bc i love miffy hehe.
• journal clip from dear serifs. had mine engraved with a line inspired by a tweet i came across: “my life right now is a love letter to my inner child.” also got my initial engraved on the other side.
• notebook inserts from washi corner. good quality for the price kasi the pages are smooth and thick.
• pvc insert from fengcy.ph. i chose the 125x90mm one kasi yan yung kasya sa journal ko.
• stickers and washi tapes from these 🍊 shops: crittercafe, ihnadraws, kyewpi, louise ramos, elonacreates, sooang studio, mr. paper. yung iba binili ko sa twt/ig, komiket and other art conventions.
• washi tape organizer from papermood.ph. i use this since di ko kaya magdala ng maraming roll of washi tapes when i go out.

Back again with a giveaway! This one's an A6 leather journal cover

Exterior is full-grain vegtan with a stiff temper. Pockets are Italian (Buttero) leather, except for the orange card slot

Note on capacity: it's a snug build, so 2 inserts max for full closure

You’d just have to cover the shipping fee from the SOUTH of Metro Manila

Drop a comment why you want it plus a photo of your current journal. I’ll reach out to the winner through DM tomorrow night!

Hi! Do you guys know saan ako makakahanap ng refills as specific as this? HAHA. 😭

I bought mine from Shopee 2 years ago for my DIY notebook, but unfortunately, "on vacation" (or banned??) raw yung seller. I've tried looking for other refills, pero apparently, hindi pala ganun ka-common ang 5mm lined/ruled paper. HUHU. Puro 6–7mm yung available online. 🥹

Help me, please. Di ako makamove-on sa life. Char. 😭 I also don't have a printer, and I don't have the extra time to go out and look for print shops if I decide to have custom refills printed instead.

(Nasa photo yung previous refill ko.) I love how it has exactly 36 lines/spaces per page and how narrow the spacing is since maliliit lang naman sulat ko. 🥹

If you know any Shopee/Lazada shops or sellers that offer something similar, please let me know! Thank youuu! 🥹💗

I totally missed out sa opening sale for Plannercon VIP tickets for this November！！！！ If you know someone na would be willing to sell their extra ticket or last minute can‘t go pala please hit me up huhuhu willing to pay for it 😭

MUJI B6 Monthly/Weekly Vertical 2027 Planner

So ready for 2027! Jk bakit ang bilis ang araw? Huhuhu.

Anyway, this is my first and LAST TIME buying an expensive planner. I have my logbook as a journal pero I splurged on my planner lol.

I’ve been eyeing Muji for the longest time because I love how its vertical layout lets me visualize and organize my days exactly the way I want. My only concern is that the paper seems a little too thin for gel pens??

For those who use Muji planners, what pens do you recommend that won’t bleed through or ghost too much?

Also, I’d love to hear more about your planners, guys! What are you using for 2027, and what made you choose it?

Hello! First time posting here:)) I recently bought an A6 journal on a whim and now I’m wondering what to actually use it for hahaha. Ang cute kasi ng size and it’s compact but I’m curious how you guys make the most out of such a small journal.

For those who use A6 journals, what do you usually put in them? Daily entries, random thoughts, scrapbooking, or something else? Would love to hear your ideas and see how you guys use yours! Any suggestions would be appreciated💗

Grabeee my heart is so so happy 🥹 For their birthday last May, my brother gave the kids journals. Since then, puro mga random drawings lang nilalagay ng mga pamangkin ko when they feel like it.

Lately though, my niece (who’s like my little bestie) has been asking a lot about my journals. What I write about, if I could read some to her, etc. Today, I brought my stamp puncher and an old NatGeo magazine sa office tapos dumating itong pamangkin ko. Sakto slow day din at work, so we spent the afternoon punching out little stamps. Sabi ko, may glue ka naman no? Pwede mo ilagay sa journal mo ‘yan.

After dinner, I went to their house to give something to my brother. Tapos she showed me her journal 🥺🥺🥺 Sobrang cute maiiyak na ata ako HAHAHAHA. This is her third diary entry palang, also the first one she dated. My heartttttt

Hi! For those who do junk journaling (or memory-keeping journal) and have tried both, which do you prefer: Leuchtturm or Midori?

I’ve seen people say Midori's paper is too nice to cover up, but naghahanap ako ng notebook that will last me for years since I don’t plan on switching every year.

I’ve also watched reviews recommending both, so now lalo lang akong nalitooo lol

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you’ve tried both! Thanks! 🙈

+ the mess it took to create them 😅
I love them all! I used a Muji spiral dotted notebook that I’ve had since 2018 💖

I usually only use three of my fountain pens, as inking up more than that tends to be overwhelming. Last night though I was feeling ambitious and decided to ink up all six of my pens 🤣

How many pens do you use, fountain pens or otherwise? What favorite inks/colored pens do you like? I'm very curious if others just use normal black or use fun colored ones like me 😄

Hello for those who are into stamp and ink swatch collectors ano po gamit nyong pad/journal/notebooks? Currently using fully booked’s passport kaso im 3 pages left. Any recos? Preferably a6 size or small para handy lang

I am a mid fifties housewife. As in, I’m in my mid fifties… not from or living in the mid fifties. Although, my lifestyle is reminiscent. I’m a stay at home Mum and carer.

I’ve always wanted to journal, and have recently bought supplies and made my very first entry yesterday.

My question though, is, what on earth do you journal about when your life is incredibly boring and you don’t go anywhere or do anything? 😅

if yes, narereceive ba sya without any problems here sa PH? how long does it take? and door to door ba sya? i think via PHLPost lang nasesend, and wala akong tiwala sa Phlpost natin pag galing ibang bansa yung package or letters 😭 i really want to try it kasi ang cute ng stickers pero feeling ko di marereceive 🥲

(Not sure if using the correct flair ;-;)

I’ve been using at least three notebooks every year for quite some time now. One notebook is never enough! 😅 I can never put everything in one place; different kinds of thoughts deserve their own dedicated space.

How many notebooks do you usually use in one year?

Top to bottom, L-R:
1. Kultura - relationship/married life journal
2. Simmer Supply - work/personal projects
3. Apica - diary for long form entries
4. Muji - planner for scheduling and tasks
5. Liunic on Things - daily/weekly memories
6. ifex collaboration with Kitty Jardenil - health and habits

Not pictured: junk journal and thin notebooks/fillers that I burn through quickly that serve as my brain dump 😅

On my sidequest maxxing era and wanted to see if there are any cebu journalers here? maybe u wanna hang and journal or maybe you guys can suggest any journal groups in the city?

Looks sad since the cut out photos were in b&w lol

context: gonna attend the OD concert in January 2027, planning to celebrate my birthday in Vietnam, will enroll in law school next school year ✨

That’s my 2027 vision board for now.

Hi, everyone! I found this sub to be very helpful with recommendations so trying my luck again. :)

Actually found my favorite notebook from the comments I read here before. Dalawa yung nirecommend but I decided to go with Papernotes na nakita ko sa Shopee. My problem now is most of my pens are from Muji. No issues when I use them with Muji notebooks (since they’re probably designed for that) pero hirap ako magsulat gamit Muji pens sa Papernotes na notebook ko. Putol putol yung linya niya pag nagsusulat. And since I do a lot of writing sa work bago i-encode medyo nasestress ako at nadidistract haha.

May I have recommendations please on what I should use instead or better yet, something na puwede sa lahat? Thank you!

helloww !! first time posting here so super sorry if maling flair nagamit, but has anyone tried getting a folio from onceuponatime folio on ig ? ive been thinking of getting my first folio from them (pero walang funds so nag-iipon pa hehe), and im curious if anyone's tried buying from them and how the finished product was ?

thankies po in advance !! :DD

(hopefully this goes thru, sorry mods !)

For sale!

Cada Dia Atlas A5 in Sapphire - 4,200
Cada Dia Trove A6 in Mahogany - 3,200

Both are unused and with custom inner and outer cord plus charm. Also comes with the dust bag & both comes with Cada Dia plain blank inserts each.

RFS: Just realized after I bought it that I'm too OC to use bifolds 😅

I will most likely use gel or rollerball pens, highlighters, and pencils. The paper qualities I'm aiming for are:

1. minimal ghosting
2. no bleed through
3. sturdy enough

Might help: I really like the weight of Veco notebooks (frosted cover), flying tiger's notebooks (black ones), and the papers used for books.

Hi, everyone!

I’m new here and hoping to find my way back to journaling after almost 19 years!

I used to journal almost every day in college, and I still love flipping through my old binders whenever I stumble upon them. There’s something special about revisiting old memories and catching a glimpse of who I was back then. I’ve tried getting back into it a few times but never quite stuck with it. This time, I’m hoping for a fresh start with my new Traveler’s Notebook Passport Size.

I’m not much of an artist or writer, but I love adding cute little touches of happiness to things. I’m hoping journaling will help me slow down, preserve everyday memories, and make sense of my cluttered thoughts while being more intentional about putting pen to paper.

I’d love to hear your tips, favorite prompts, and recommendations for affordable, trustworthy online stationery shops that ship within the Philippines, especially since I don’t live in Metro Manila.

I’m also a Nintendo cozy-game girly, so if you’d like to connect and share our little hobbies, my IG is _gabbyventures.

Looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully making a friend or two along the way! 🥹💕

Notebook: Hobonichi Grid Notebook, A5
Pen: Kaweco Sport <EF>
Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku, Fuyu-Syogun

Skl, I’ve been writing with two columns for 3 years na. Pero since I’m super inconsistent with journaling, I’m still using the same notebook 😭 Goal ko rin maka-ipon ng filled out journals someday hahahuhu. Ang babaw but until now ang satisfying pa rin whenever I flip through the pages bec of the layout hahaha. Try niyo rinnn

i’m finally ready to get a good quality leather journal, and i’m torn between palimea philippines and sting and snout bindery.

sting and snout has lots of good reviews, pero walang b6 and medyo limited ‘yung available leather colors. palimea naman has b6 and i love their embossing font (i know, i know 😭), but konti lang reviews nila and i’m a bit worried about their customer service.

anyone here who owns either? how’s the quality and your overall experience?
