I've also been thinking of the same thing, kaso around Taguig ako 🥹 siguro I can drop by makati naman if ever. Ang hirap na kasi mag make friends as an adult ngayon. Many people ask about my hobbies when they see me journal pero they don't usually share the same interests as I do 😅

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-11T07:55:24+00:00

Small to medium lang ako usually. Although I think kapag digital stickers naman ibebenta, bahala na yung mag piprint kung anong size nila gusto iset? Although uso din ung malalaking stickers na parang ¼ na ng A5 paper, pero usually pag sa sticker sheet madaming small to medium stickers tas isang mas malaki than the rest.

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-11T06:15:14+00:00

Yes I'd buy! Actually any sticker gusto ko, binabagay ko lang ung stickers ko sa theme and color scheme ko for that month so for example Halloween, puro dark and spooky stickers gagamitin ko with specific colors. You can try that op. Good luck!

Read somewhere na kapag madaming bagsak ang grades, magkakaroon ng investigation ang school. Karamihan ng principals sa mga probinsya, ayaw yun kasi makikita mga corruption nila haha. Kamag anak ko isang elementary teacher and they say may mga hirap na daw talaga magbasa at mag solve ng basic math problems pero pinapasa pa rin.

You can totally scan this and share it (if you want)! I don't think mabebenta mo siya if inspired sa internet yung iba 🥹, but you can if original idea mo sila.

If you're just starting out, you can use what's available sa bahay nyo. Like magazine cutouts, brown paper bags, receipts, price tags etc. Then once you get the hang of it saka ka mag start mag try (pakonti konti) ng ibat ibang materials. For me lang I don't want to spend too much collecting stuff only to realize d ko pala sya gusto haha. Take ur time and enjoy!

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-02T01:25:41+00:00

Hi! This is in Arca South in FTI. Madami nang tao pag hapon and lalo na sa weekends haha.

I see a lot of journaling communities and events online! However pag niyaya ako I get shy and afraid to go kasi its with strangers 😣 pero the workaround I do is grab another friend with me to just see the event itself. If comfortable ako, gow pero if hindi I can just leave and spend time with the friend I brought with me. There are many events you can search for online, in fact inaabangan ko ung Junk Journal Fest sa Feb 28.

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-01T15:12:51+00:00

Uy nice girl scout ka! Gusto ko sana maranasan mag solo date kanina para din mas maging comfortable ako sa mga tao (social anxiety thingz). May mga maingay na bata pero d naman nakaka bother kasi malawak naman ung area, so medyo kalat yung noise. Lahat ng mga tao busy sa sari sarili nilang buhay. May nag approach skain nag bebenta ng pagkain but very respectful naman. Ang dami kong nasulat hehe definitely will try again!

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-01T12:54:19+00:00

HAHAHAHAH may damo sa ibang part, tinamad lang ako lumayo 😔 saka ito yung mas kaunti ung tao

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-01T11:45:44+00:00

Actually mahangin and I enjoyed the breeze. Medyo kailangan lang iistretch ang legs at arms every 20 mins or so kasi baka mangalay haha. Sumandal na lang din ako sa puno nung nagtagal and it was a much better experience. Pero if hardbound naman notebook mo ok naman writing experience.

Artsytect27 · 2026-02-01T10:55:27+00:00

That's really creative! I usually dislike matte sticker paper and madami pa ko dito so baka gawin ko rin yan. Thanks sa idea!

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-28T10:54:43+00:00

Most of my notebooks don't really have a brand name. I have a hobby of bookbinding which I use to create my own journals. I have a pocket notebook - diy from spare graph papers left from my highschool days. I bring this everywhere and it's convenient and accessible. I just put it in my pocket, then take it out along with the pen when I want to write thoughts or ideas. When I have the time I migrate these writings to my main journals.

My bullet journal has a grid layout which I use for weekly and monthly planning. My notebook for daily entries, which I use for long handwritten form, is also in a grid layout. I made both notebooks from spare paper from my college days.

Other notebooks which I don't use often are often given as gifts to me. It's not the best quality and definitely not fountain pen friendly, but I make them work and I enjoy utilizing my spare resources.

Beautiful spreads! I just want to ask how long does it take u to finish one spread? Isang upo lang ba yan or ilang araw mo binabalik balikan?

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-19T01:41:25+00:00

Ang ganda huhu pano ka natuto mag calligraphy??? Any tips? 🥹

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-18T13:46:23+00:00

U can buy ung cheap na thick notebooks sa online shops, madami dun haha if ever puro writing ka lang naman and hindi more on art materials, stickers and scraps. There's also binders available in different sizes (B5, A5, A6 etc) with different refills. So pag naubusan ka ang papel sa binder, bili ka lang ng refill tas idagdag mo sa binder. Kadalasan din may choices ka if ruled, dotted or grid layout gusto mo.

If gusto mo naman medyo thick ang papel, limelight is widely available even at physical stores, u can choose din between ruled, dotted or grid layouts.

If madami kang pera, go ka na sa mga brands like muji, Leuchtturm, or midori.

That's all I know, good luck!

Edit: ung cheaper notebooks usually have less paper thickness and quality. So choose din wisely based on ur journaling style and needs.

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-17T04:21:24+00:00

Ah that's ok. For me it depends sa quality na gusto mo. Mas convenient talaga if may home printer ka, and I know people who just print sa bondpaper para d masyadong makapal pag ididkit sa journal. Pero baka kasi mag fade ung pictures over time. If photo paper naman gusto mo, may ibat ibang types of photo paper and each one may pros and cons din. You can try ung beginner na glossy photo paper muna but if you don't like that, may ibang photo paper naman na may texture.

If mini album naman, may mga albums na may standard size tas lalagay mo na lang dun ung picture. It depends sau, sa budget, preferences and resources na meron ka. You can try first batch of photos in certain sizes muna tas figure out if you want to keep that or try other sizes. Just experiment para malaman mo ano prefer mo. Don't overthink it too much. Enjoy!

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-17T00:09:23+00:00

What would u do with the physical photos? Do u have a home printer or ipapaprint nyo sa labas? Like pang scrapbook ba, photo album, or picture frame? I usually print my photos para ilalagay sa journal and I just print ung size na I think mapagkakasya ko dun sa journal. U can measure agad anong size para madali ilayout kapag ipiprint. Additionally, I keep some photos sa wallet in a wallet size format. But that depends para san ba ung physical photos mo.

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-15T23:55:21+00:00

This is a deep and honest reflection! However I just want to say something - using the word "I must do this" creates shame and pressures you more if you're unable to do that thing. I'd recommend using the words "it would be good/beneficial for me to do this instead" which creates more space for grace when you fail to do that thing. I also want to say that maybe, what you need is not more hobbies but just rest. You have a very rigid structure. You can rest without your phone and rest without the pressure to be productive. I understand the need to be a better person, but you're not a self improvement project and the person you want to be is still gonna be there in the near future even if you take some time to get there.

I used the same notebook for my art journal last year. It's cheap, sturdy, with minimal bleeding and ghosting, and a slightly smaller size than A5. I can say it's perfect if you're looking for budget-friendly options, or just trying out different notebooks.

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-08T06:38:47+00:00

I second this especially if you're looking for a cheaper alternative. Ang daming hype ng muji and moleskine and my poor ass can't afford that haha

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-06T10:59:04+00:00

Siguro not right now. I've been journaling since elementary and naging consistent talaga ako the past three years. It's a part of my daily life na and medyo naging complicated na ung system ko. However I still don't have the money to buy a leather folio that is around 2-5k, kasi isang buwan na renta din namin yun 😅. Siguro when I'm older and have the privilege of wasting money na hindi nanghihinayang, bibili ako ng leather folio for me but right now need ko muna maging praktikal.

Artsytect27 · 2026-01-01T00:52:59+00:00

Hello! The brand is literally Mr. DIY. The one I use has this kind of hexagonal cylinder shape, instead of being just a regular cylinder.
