Day 250 - Travels in my Mind

This is the back cover of a notebook I bought several years ago but only started using today. It's a new day, a new month, and therefore I'm starting to write on a new notebook. I won't be using it as a travel journal, though, even if it says that on the cover. I think travel journals should have a hard cover and ring binding, so it's not too easy to rip the pages out, or that it'd still be intact even if it gets wet. But that's not to say that I like the notebooks from Papemelroti any less. They're still my favorite stationery shop.

Day 144 - Project Bus Tickets

I don't remember why but when I started taking the bus regularly to go to school in college, I kept all the bus tickets I got during my freshman year. (If this isn't proof that I'm a hoarder, I don't know what is.) I think I maybe had some kind of project in mind that involved using them, but lost the idea over the course of time.

Anyway, today I found one of my stock unused notebooks lying around and noticed that its cover had some dirt on it, so rather than try and save its original appearance, which I don't think I could've anyway because it was already ruined by the dirt, I decided to cover it up using these bus tickets that had been waiting in my drawer since 2001.

I rode the bus practically everyday then so even after covering this notebook with these tickets, I still have a bunch left over. Maybe I'll use them for my next notebook. Or if I ever remember my original project idea that made me collect them in the first place.

Day 18 - Paradise v.1

New notebooks in the bookstore

You know how some people say that Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth? Well, National Bookstore* is my Disneyland. Notebooks are my favorite, but I love other school/office supplies, too such as pens, coloring materials, post-its and well, basically everything that can be found in a bookstore. I took this picture while waiting for my friends at lunch time.
