In which I go completely bonkers and log all my 200+ books into a Google spreadsheet—arranged by genre then alphabetically by author. Needless to say, I’ve made Hermione Granger and my Disney princess namesake proud.

#FML2018: I counted every pen I own
In which I, a Virgo, clean my room and count how many pens I actually have. Spoiler alert: I got distracted and neglected the mess beyond my desk.
October events + a new blog series
I’m so excited for October. Partially because it’s when Christmas starts to feel real (here in the Philippines, we start celebrating in September). But mostly because I’ve got a bunch of events lined up for you guys! Also I’ve got an upcoming blog post series which is pretty exciting, too.
Plan With Me: September // Pretty in Pink
Hey everyone! Guess what? It’s my birth month! So I’m using my absolute fave color scheme thus far. I’ve been itching to plan out a month in this shade of pink. But I put it off for September to properly celebrate yet another year of my crazy life. Shoutout to all my fellow Virgos out there! May we live a life that makes our star sign mother Beyoncé proud.
How the bullet journal helps me manage depression.
I’ve been using the bullet journal over a year now. Starting one wasn’t easy, but I persisted. And I don’t think I’d be the same today if it weren’t for the BuJo.
So this is my story. This is how I grabbed my mental health disorders by the balls and said, “Not today, buddy.”
Plan With Me: August + Workshop Hits
Hey everyone! I’m back with another Plan With Me! I thought this lavender and space theme would be so cute for this month. I’d like to thank everyone for attending my workshop last Saturday. It was so fun! You guys were amazing and I’m happy you learned a lot from me as much as I learned from you.
Plan With Me: July + Official Workshop Details
Can you believe we’re already halfway into 2017? Don’t worry if your year, like mine, hasn’t been that great so far. Things will surely let up when the time and stars are right. Save the date for my workshop by the way! July 29, Saturday at Commune PH. More details below! See ya there!
UPDATED: Workshop on July 29 | Plan With Me, June 2017
Long time no see!
Those three months in New York flew by real quick. Sorry for not posting anything for May. After coming back, I decided to take some time off to rest and regain my strength.
This June, I made a promise to myself to be more positive. So my color scheme is a vibrant yellow. I put a huge sunflower on my monthly cover page. And with a new month comes new surprises….
I’ll be holding a Bullet Journaling workshop this month (more on that below)!
Setting Up a New Bullet Journal
Hey everyone!
It’s already April. Spring is finally here! I’m saying goodbye to the winter weather in New York with a heavy heart. I actually liked the cold, as un-tita as that sounds. But with some farewells come new beginnings. And I’m happy to announce that I’m moving into a new bullet journal this month!
I’m starting with a hard cover Moleskine journal with squared or grid lines. I had it customized at the Moleskine store at the Oculus mall (World Trade Center, NYC).
I just love how the beginning of spring coincides with the beginning of my second bullet journal!
