Last week was hectic for BTS' ARMYs! Their comeback music video from the Love Yourself Tear Album was released last Friday. Prior to that, there were sleepless nights for us because we waited for BigHit Entertainment's post about the album tracklist and the comeback teaser. Guys, they only release every 12AM KST which is 11PM PHT. Struggle is real. 😅

And because there were new contents, ofcourse I did what I am into doing these days. Screenshot, layout, print and cut!

Before you go on, check out the music vide of FAKE LOVE by BTS below.  😂


A lot of ARMYs are no joke great fan artists and graphic artists. I do some fan arts and edits but there are a lot of better ones than me. Anyway, I have come across a graphic edit to which I really liked. This ARMY posted combined concept photos per version which she turned to 'kdrama like posters" and I really liked it. Since she posted it on twitter and a lot are reposting, I asked if I can have a copy and print those. I was surprised that she replied to my direct message and said it's okay that I will print.

This is my journal with the graphic edits of Protect_AgustD.

This is the link of her tweet with the posters: Posters by Protect_AgustD

I didn't do much on that spread because the 4 posters by Protect_AgustD gave the aesthetics already. She reposted this when I tweeted this! she said she likes it! 🙆

But guys, have you noticed how little by little my bullet journaling is changing? I am actually trying not to be messy on my journal anymore. Since I have just transitioned to BuJo, I still don't have a full grasp of it. Slowly but surely. 🙌

Spread // Last week of April // This is how it looks like before

Spread // May 1st week // Slowly changing style

Spread // Euphoria //  Still getting a grasp of it.

Next theme!

I, along with my friends have long been waiting for the comeback album and title track music video. As expected from Bighit and BTS, the music video is full of aesthetics, deep concepts and awesome acting from the BTS members. When the two comeback teasers were released, I have took screenshots already but the actual title track mv is way different than the teasers. I mean, the plot is different.

Fake Love themed Journal // scenes from comeback teasers 1 and 2

As a dedicated ARMY, I prepared a whole journal spread for "Fake Love". I listed the track list and the achievements of the the song, the album and the music video. 😎

Aren't those photos intriguing? I choose those because it has a touch of "mystery."

Anyway, the boys made another fan song for us, the title is Magic Shop. I got hooked with the lyrics.  I was inspired with the galaxy and milky way theme from the song I tried doing a "galaxy" on my journal. First time, and it was a s-u-c-c-e-s-s.


By the way the lyrics are touching! Parts of the song came from RM's ment during Wings Concert. The song is about them telling us how we (ARMYs), gave the best of them. Open our hearts, make a door and then there is our own Magic Shop. BTS and ARMYs own milky way. I AM NOT CRYING. 😢

Here is an inspired spread. I wrote the translated lyrics of Magic Shop and on the other side, I did the a spread to highlight events on May. 💜

Hello! I have told you on my previous Journal With Me entry that I will attend a workshop. I joined the Brush and Calligraphy Workshop by sadgrilstudying. I have first stumbled upon Eris (@sadgirlstudying) when I saw a SOPE (Suga and J-Hope) journaling workshop hosted by a cafe+concept store I follow on IG and her. And then, that's when we started talking about journaling and BTS. 

Anyway, you may be wondering why I joined. Actually...I did not really have proper training on calligraphy. Although I know you see my works before, I know it's not that good. Also, sadly, I am my own enemy. I belittle my own work. I guess that is because I strive for being better. I am not contented (sometimes? most of the times). sigh... But... guys thank you for your kind words and appreciating my works. 💋

You know what? I had a one on one workshop with her! HAHA. I am unavaible on her 2 day workshop and she offered we can do one on one and of course I agreed! She can look closely on my work, right? That's a good deal.

Then, she taught me the basic strokes. So basically guys, up stroke is less pressure, down stroke requires more. I knew that the strokes commonly used are: entrance stroke, underturn, overturn, compound stroke, oval, ascending stem loop, descending stem loop and full pressure down stroke. These, when combined, can create beautiful lettering. 

After I learned all strokes, I was demonstrated how to do each letters using the strokes and then do it myself until I get used to writing them. 

I really enjoyed the workshop. I feel fulfilled. 💙 I was happy I was already able to do the proper strokes per letter 😛 My final activity was to write in calligraphy a lyrics of a song. I wrote the lyrics of Euphoria. 

#Singularity

Journal time!

Hello! This is yet another BTS related journaling post. I decided I will call my BTS related journaling as #JournalWithBTS. Is it a good label for this? Hihi.

do the photos remind of you of  any stage play?

I had the photos layout on my diary. Then, I looked up for the English translation of the lyrics and wrote it on the empty spaces. Look at those transition photos of Jungkook drinking milk tea! He is so cute! 🙈

My birthday is coming soon and here is a special giveaway for all ARMYs who loves journaling like me. Or if you wanna try journaling too. 

Will use random org.

Winner will be announced on my birthday, May 13. ✨

HELLLOOOO! Yeah I knowwwwwwwww! I have been out for a month! As in no update. :( I'm so sorry! My March was packed with BTS Fan Gatherings. My 2 friends and I were so busy preparing for the products we had to release from our shop. Dealing with suppliers and customers, left and right, production of goods, transactions. Yup. Exhausting. 😓

However, although I am not posting here, I constantly do my journaling and artworks on my My Write Life 2018 and BTS Season's Greetings 2018 respectively. I was able to finish 4 artworks. T.T I really enjoy watercolor paintings nowadays. My fanarts are BTS related as always. I finished a birthday spread for Suga, fanart of J-Hope's album artwork, bias (Jin) spread and Whalien 52 fanart. I do these in between work and business. Huhu. Please love me, guys. 😚

Let me also tell a story guys, a trend is starting to boom for PH ARMYs (BTS Fans). Well, there are already planner ARMYs before but I think a lot more of fans have found the creative planning hobby enjoyable. Been seeing a lot of posts on twitter (because ARMYs are stan twitters) who are using stickers like these that i am using.


I think I have also influenced some ARMYs during the ARMY Fest and Luce Celestiale: Under the Seven Stars Fan Gatherings. T.T When I am selling my shop's sticker releases and my friends' sticker releases on those fan gatherings,  I showed them my journal. I let them see how I use the BTS stickers to decorate. I was happy when they decide to buy upon seeing my works. :)

p.s.  Before anyone comes after me, I am not claiming I did the introduction to e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e, all I say I introduced it to some. 🙏

When on a rush, here's how my planner looks like. MOSTLY this March. Hahahaha

Here's the monthly spread I did on my BTS Season's Greetings 2018 Planner. This is an advanced planning for April.

close up :D

I cannot say I do bullet journal yet because I haven't fully transitioned to it. 😩 I just decorate and plaster stickers on pages like this. I love to use stickers I hoarded from @apgujin and @her_finstudio and my own shop. If you know any PH based shop which sells BTS stickers, please comment on this post. I am hoarding.  😝

By the way, I cleaned my area where I do my planning. I added my fan girl stuff and here is how it looks like now. 🙈 Love me, please! 😂


Talk to you again, soon! 😘

That's basically because we have now come up with stickers under our Special Release and Stationery Line. I'm very happy that my partners supported me on releasing this merch. You know stickers are part of any creative planner girl, yes? 

Here's a first Plan with me this 2018. I decided to start again this series because I think I might be a ( little 😇)  help to some who are new to this hobby. I think I have influenced some of my the people I know on Facebook to start with this hobby. Decorating planners and journals is fun, darlings! 

The good thing about this generation is that you can easily find inspiration online. Whether photos or videos, you get to see things that can urge you to try something new. In my case, I am a person who have found my safe haven with vertical layouts and sticker kits, but as time goes by, I intend to try something new - ofcourse without leaving my safe haven out. Just trying out new things!

Just like what I have mentioned on my comeback post - PCT IS BACK, I have to stick with something easy to do because I am busy these days with business and work. So how did I fair the passed 2 weeks? Remember that photo above I shared last time? Here's how it looks like now.

I was so happy when I got a lot of compliments about this finished page on my BTS Diary. I did some calligraphy (but I am not good with it, I know) and used some stickers. The pens I used are Zig Scroll and Brush and my Unipin 0.1. Basically, this is a page I did to reminisce on when, how and why I became a BTS ARMY. 

Next, I came back with my first love, vertical layouts. I am preparing a special spread for one of the birthday boys so I took out my Kikki K for this. I used a sticker kit by Paper Joy PH. This shop is my favorite for vertical sticker kits. She has a facebook page and etsy shop so you might wanna check out her offers there. 👌

Finally, I started again yet another page on my diary for also, a special birthday spread. The finished spread was used as a promotional material for our shop's sticker release. 

Guess that's it for now. Hope I have inspired you in my own little way. Next time, I'll try to give mooooooore details about the things I use to decorate my planner.

I feel so loved with all the messages I received. Here are some I am so proud to brag about. 😁 Thank you so much!
