hobonichi cover - ukrainian flowers

Yaaasssss... I finally have this special Hobonichi cover of Ukrainian Flowers !! It's made from fabric and has flower embroidery.. so pretty !!

As I said on my previous post, I had lost my chance to buy that cover from hobonichi website. It was sold out within 24 hours after its launch. Crazy. It said "restock is coming", but don't know when. And I hate if I loose my chance again.

So I began to look on ebay. It's almost twice the price. But at that time, that seemed my only chance. So well... I bought it. And now that I have it in my hand, I'm happy.

inside my bag - recently

It seems that I always have everything inside my bag. Especially for school, I almost bring everything I can pack into my bag. One addition inside my bag is called "paket minggat" or literally translated as "runaway pack" lol :D

This pack is useful when you need to freshen up for the next class, sleepover at a friend's place, stranded out of nowhere, waiting for hours during connection flight, etc. I'm not sure if it's TSA friendly, but the content are keep into minimum. 

It's actually just a basic toiletries pouch. From the top left, a mini pouch in a shape of pink koi fish is to store 'girl thing'. The greeny yellow thing on the  top right is silicon tissue case from hobonichi. Moving to the second row from the left, is Vaseline petroleum jelly (for lip balm and skin dryness), almost empty body lotion tube, ear plugs, Garnier face wash, foldable hair brush. The last row from the left, the blue bottle spray is fabric freshener and softener. The next small bottle is L'Occitane eau de toilette, and then a foldable mirror, a mini bottle of liquid soap, Eskulin hand sanitizer (I like Pigglet), a small tube of Pepsodent toothpaste with a ziplock underneath, and a simple toothbrush (the one you get from a hotel).

These are basic neccessity which help you prepared no matter what situation may be.

PS. Picture shall be posted soon. is now available.

hobonichi 2017

The Hobonichi package 2017 has arrived in my place today !! Yyaaayyyy !!

To be honest, I will order some more later. This batch is just to secure some of the things I really like. I haven't bought any of the planner (english version) nor the techo (japanese version) as they're always ready stock. It's not the case for the cover. For instance, I really like the colour of this "sherbet" cover. Pale blue and pink.. aaww so cuuute. So I had to buy it now since it may run out of stock. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get the "ukrainian flower"..sold out under 24 hours since it was launched. Anyway, I don't know when it will be restocked. Hopefully better luck next time.

Well, these are what I bought for now..
- Techo cover "Sherbet" (plain plastic cover-on-cover included)
- Plastic cover-on-cover "Paris"
- Torinoha wood rubber stamps : expense tracker and boy-girl
- Plastic stencil/ruler (new design)
- Blue multipen (red-black-blue) Uni-ball

Actually, I might have that blue pen for free if I  buy a bundle of cover and planner. So why didn't I? Because I tried to avoid the excessive amount. We have to pay for custom for imported goods above US$50. This way, I don't have to pay for anything since they're all under US$50. Voila.

That's all for now. See ya.

la rentrée

It's been a week of la rentrée universitaire or back to school days. As I have mentioned on my earlier post, this semester I return to college to continue my studies. It's been a hard week although it's just the beginning of it. First week and I feel so exhausted. I have full schedule from Monday to Friday. I am also tired because the long journey I have to spend everyday. From home to my faculty on the suburb where I work, then to the other faculty downtown where I have to study, then go back home which -again- on the other side of the city. Gosh, I need help from heaven. 

So, blog post might get slower. But  I try to post at least once every two weeks. Spoiler, I just ordered a new cover of Hobonichi 2017 (and some little things), so I gotta write about it here. Later. 

I may also share how I organize my study life for this semester. I don't know.. Perhaps my final stationery lineup? I finally bought another Kokuyo ring binder for my study notes. And I use filofax to note other-than-study-or-work-related things. I will try to take some pictures of the inserts I set up on my filofax fusion. Well, I finally use that huge planner. Oh, and I also use my Exacompta agenda scolaire, of course ;)

Anyway, this semester is gonna be a loooong journey for me. But I need to keep a positive mindset. Allez, courage !!
