Here’s something that hasn’t happened in a while: a finished notebook. I can’t remember the last time I filled the pages of a notebook anymore. I do, however, remember a time when it happened quite often, when I spent my days writing down all kinds of ideas, poems, stories, and journal entries. I keep thinking…

I’ve used Mossery products since early 2018, but have been a huge fan of the brand for as long as I can remember. Their commitment to helping artists, writers, students, professionals, and the other folks through beautifully designed tools is inspiring.

Any student from the Philippines has brought them for school—the typical 50- or 80-leaves notebooks stapled to bind and printed with red and blue lines.

Beautiful, quality paper bound to a simple yet elegant book cover where every purchase plants a tree—it’s a combination that left me longing to hold my own Baron Fig Confidant notebook for years. At that time, shipping to the Philippines wasn’t available and I didn’t have a USA shipping subscription. Persistent, I kept returning to…

It was around 2011 when I discovered Field Notes from the USA and Whitelines® from Sweden. At that time I was still in uni and didn’t have the means of ordering Whitelines online, so I chose to try Field Notes instead (I still love the brand to this day!). https://www.instagram.com/p/BYfB60EgZm9/?taken-by=whitelinespaper The former has since been…

Big brands like Moleskine and Daycraft have long reigned over Philippine bookstores as the premium stationery for creative and professional work. I myself have been a long-time Moleskine user, having used their blank and lined notebooks for college, creative writing projects, and everyday notes. I probably would continue using Moleskine if it weren’t for social…

Lined, blank, graph, dot grid–these are the Big Four when choosing a notebook based on paper type. Dot grid paper became especially popular when bullet journaling grew in popularity over the years. Big brands like Leuchtturm1917 and Moleskine responded to the demand with dot grid notebooks aimed at bullet journaling enthusiasts who wanted a good…
