These are some of my journal scans waiting for me to share it here. Fountain pen inks are the no.1 reason why I am writing. If I won't write, those inks will stay in my cart until the end of time. I know I would feel really bad if those inks won't realise their potential just because their owner was too lazy to pick up a pen and write. Most days, I would write about random things like how much I want to buy an eyeshadow but I can't because I still have one at home, or my thoughts after watching a documentary about the last hobos of America. On lunch breaks, I would write about my boring mornings, and I would counter it by stating all the fun things that happened throughout the day when I'm doing my nighttime updates.
If there's one thing I think I haven't written on my notebooks, it's anything about this blog. Not that it matters, it's just that sometimes it's nice to see your notebooks all organised and connected like those Marvel movies. But who cares about those things? No one in the future would study these notebooks, anyway. Well, that's not really for me to tell- I once read a book filled with letters between lovers who died without knowing that their exchanges would be published and consumed by readers from all over the world. So, I guess I'll just let things be and WRITE. Afterall, the goal is to write. TO WRITE.

I'm extremely grateful that this notebook is fountain pen-friendly. Finding cheap fountain pen-friendly papers here in Manila is a struggle so I got myself three of these notebooks when it went on sale. I'm glad to report that I've completed the first notebook, currently using the second one, and kept the third one somewhere inside this old drawer close to my working area.
Because I don't like its boring covers, I bought beautiful wrapping papers and covered the notebooks with flowers and maps. My notebook covering ritual goes like this:
1. Buy a beautiful wrapping paper.
2. Get the big Elmer's White Glue at my sister's room
3. Lay the wrapping paper on a clean and flat surface aka my working table.
4. Measure and cut the wrapping paper. It's measurement has to be the same with the measurements of the notebook's front cover. Yes, I don't care about its back cover.
5. Pour glue and spread it all over. The front cover should look like those lakes on the northern hemisphere during winter.
6. Carefully place the wrapping paper.
7. Let it dry.
