I have always been a stationery/paper/planner/journal addict. Ever since I was in grade school, I had been on the lookout for cute papers/stationery. My love for these cutesy and eye candies didn't die down but just flourished all the more growing up. I remember when I was still single, there was a year that I bought 2 or 3 planners because they were all so cute and "functional" but sadly I didn't get to use all of them because I was not really a businesswoman nor a busy-woman. Then the sticker card from a famous coffee shop was introduced in the Philippines. And because my husband and I are coffee lovers, we would frequent this store not just for the caffeine kick but also for me to get a planner (
Note: This promo starts in November and ends in January of the next year). If my memory still serves me right, I think I was able to get 5 planners for 5 consecutive years. Now, that we're in the US, I missed that sort of "tradition", hahaha!
So last November while at a mall, I started looking for the "perfect" planner for me. Much to my dismay I wasn't able to find store where "my planner" might be hanging around. Until one day, on January 5th, I found "the one", and boy am I so grateful! It was so pretty I could not afford to leave it there. It was as if it was talking to me and begging me to get it. My husband actually saw it first then asked me, "You want to look for another one in another store? I'm sure we can find more in other stores." "No, thank you," I said. Hahaha!

| My Journal 2015 |
 |
| Got it from Michaels' Store |
It is not a planner with dates and tabs; it is more of a journal and I'm really dying to use it. I'm not obliging myself to write something every day though, I'm thinking of just putting into words memories that really matter to me. Also, I want to make it as my art journal or journal where I can write down the things that I'm grateful for.

| It was "love at first sight." |
This journal has different colorful pages. Most of them are unlined so you really have the freedom to do whatever you want to do with it. It is a 3-ring binder so you can refill if you run out of pages. You may stick your photos, souvenirs and other mementos you may have chosen to remember in a day.

| Fantastic indeed! Using my Sharpie and Faber Castell pens to doodle and write down my thoughts |
 |
| Can also be a travel journal |
|
| This is really love! :) |
Are you a planner/journal addict too? Do you already have your planner/journal for this year? What do you love about it? I would love to hear your thoughts. :)
