As I have promised, I will talk about my Season's Greetings 2018 Diary. 

Now... On it!

The diary is part of the Season’s Greetings 2018 merchandise of  방탄소년단 (BTS / Bangtan Sonyeondan) which I bought for ₩ 43628.47 including EMS.  In South Korea, idols like Bangtan release Seasons Greetings. This merchandise usually contains calendars, planners, photobook and etc. 

For usual planners and diaries, I usually see the identification page on front. Not for the BTS SG 2018 Diary. It is on the last page of the notebook.

So what's up! How many planners do you have now? Are you into Bullet Journaling? Calligraphy? Are you more of using vertical or horizontal layout?

Let's start on answering how many planners and journal do I have now? I have 4. My past planners which are dated are not counted here e.g. BDJ Planner and Starbucks. Going back, I still have my Kikki K Cute and Carpe Diem Ballerina. Two were added, I have now a My Write Life 2018 and a BTS Seasons Greetings 2018 Diary. For this year, I will actively use MWL and the BTS Diary. We will talk about these two more on my next posts. 😉

BTS Seasons Greetings 2018 Diary

I am still fond of the vertical layout but since I am not using my Kikki K this year, I'm more of doing free hand. I use stickers, write in calligraphy (tho I am not good on it 😅) and sometimes, I use bullets and numbering.

My Write Life 2018

Guys, I really love stickers and die cuts! I use functional stickers to mark tasks. Die cuts are my bestfriends whenever I need to cover up errors and also empty spaces. Last year, I just realized that  I am not a stamp girl. So I am planning to destash them. Since I am working, reviewing, not to mention I also have a business, I have less time on designing but I still want to design because I find it boring when I look into my planner without those. That's why I have to stick to easy things to design my planner.

A Cute Story

I wanna share a story to you all.  I posted an update of my planner life in a Facebook Group. I decided to show my diary and give a brief details about it. After that, some planners commented on it. I just found out I am not the only one who has it. I AM NOT A LONER PLANNER ARMY. Hahaha.

By just putting up this big event, I realized how this hobby has spread and influenced a lot of people, mostly ladies like me. However, this is not just a simple planner meet up I usually attend. A part of the money we paid for the registration went to Virlaine Foundation Philippines, a child-caring institute in Manila. The organizers of PlannerCon Manila will be donating school supplies to them this May.  

Event started at 9AM but before that we registered first and was given seat numbers. It's a nice idea to be given seat numbers so that we can meet other planner girls other than those that we are already fond of being with. I was with my group - The Planner Seatmates when I arrived and we were assigned to different seats after, 

We were each given a ticket to be used on claiming our loot bag, planner girl pillow, shirt, mug and for our meal. While waiting for the event to start, I wandered and saw these amazing planners, stationery and printers and a lot more. Not long then that I knew that these are all prizes for the raffle. Oh! How generous are the organizers and sponsors, eh?

The first quarter of the year is about to end. I feel like it was not so long ago when I got my Startbucks and Carpe Diem Planner. Back to our regular programming, this is me on my plan with me segment. 

To be honest, I feel like I should do a vlog for this instead, but, I am not good with editing videos and such. Don't worry! I'll start practicing now. ☺ 

Hmmm. At this moment, I want to share to you my humble workstation. It is really small. I am dreaming of getting my own work room filled with washi tapes, stamps, stationary, pens and art materials and a bigger table. 

Time for planners and how I designed it!

My Kikki K Planner has turned 2 years old already last February. Thankfully this is a ringed planner sp I was able to use it by just changing inserts. I am now  using customized vertical inserts I bought from an online shop. For week 15, I used the stickers left from one of the sticker kits I have. I need to list a lot so as you can see on the upper left side, I have put a sticker with [heart] bullets. Above  photo is the before the pen design.

I really cannot do no white space on my planner. Haha. I know I would be able to figure this out. For week 16, once I again, I used a sticker kit. Sooner, I would totally switch to using sticker kit for my Kikki K planner. I love this kit because it's pink plus it is edgy because of the color black. 

I'll show you now my work planner. I have learned to put just little designs here because the illustrations on the Starbucks planner are already beautiful. This planner looks more of a journal now that works for scribbling and doodling when I am not doing anything after finishing tasks for the day.

I would really like to know your comments about my planner and journal. Any suggestions on how can I do better on creative journaling for my Starbucks planner? I feel like I want to try vintage theme. Anyone with suggestions?

Our day won't last without our group pictures!
