    May Day: My “when it rains, it pours” moment + some things worth sharing

    Just recently, I had the most depressing moments yet in my life. I knew things like these are coming, but it really feels different when bad stuff are already in front of your face, laughing. There was no single day that I didn’t cry because I felt that was the only thing I could do. This time, I didn’t cry on anyone’s shoulders, I didn’t rant on Facebook, I didn’t tell the story and more info on my blog. I knew people would say “eto nanaman may drama nanaman sa buhay ang loka”. I knew people are already tired of all my sad stories so I really tried to keep it…

    Paperang update + journaling tips + journal flip-through

    Hello, guys! I am posting this update as a “thank you” for the continued support and viewing of my previous review about the Paperang printer. Many were asking “are the printed pictures still okay?”, “aren’t they fading?”, etc etc. Well so far, I have no issues about the cutest printer. In fact, I am using it more often now. Frequently asked questions Do your prints fade easily? Good thing I am using a good-quality thermal paper I bought along with the printer. It is thicker than the ordinary one (free roll), it is glossy-type, and sticker-type, best for journaling. It’s more expensive, though, but worth it especially if you are looking…

    Journal throwback + Tips on personal journaling

    Hello, readers! Last time, I mentioned we are on an ongoing project at home – de-cluttering and redesigning our room – to make space for Toyo. And guess where we are now…..uhm yeah still there. (Lol) During the past holidays, I had time to re-scan my old journals I found during the clean-up. Why the hell I write on journals??? There are things that are too personal to share, but nothing for my daily journals. I write everything in them. They’re like an “idea dump” notebook, except those are not just ideas, but are my actual and most honest thoughts, feelings, and personal stories.   It’s really just cute and touching (and funny,…

    PAPERANG P1 Review: the meow printer

    I’ve been wanting to have my own portable printer since  I’m doing a lot of journaling and scrapbooking. Then came the instant cameras and mobile photo printers which I found very interesting and fun. But maintaining it is a bit expensive and I don’t want to spend much on that, honestly. I mean, just print it with a regular printer and who cares anyway if you’re printing it instantly or if it’s taking you days before having a physical copy. Questions from readers: Do Paperang print-outs last? For how long? I used to print images and quotes and memos with my Paperang printer. And one thing for sure, thermal printers –…
