Happy Tuesday everyone! And just like other
Tuesdays here on the blog I will publish either a Blogging-related or Bullet
Journal-related post. Today I decided to share the Bullet Journal Supplies I’m
using this 2017 and everything is of course available in the Philippines. For
my Filipino friends (or readers) who turn out to be Bullet Journal lovers this
post is dedicated to you. I wish to meet more Pinoy Bullet Journalist someday
just like Pia of iampiathought :)
Anyhow without further ado I’ll share what I
currently use. For the latest monthly set up please check: My April 2017 Bullet
Journal Set Up.
Notebook
I am currently using a Leuchtturm1917 A5
Dotted for my
everyday journal and I am obsessed. This notebook is well-used in the Bullet
Journal community and I am thankful I got the opportunity to own one. I waited
for this Leuchtturm1917 A5 Dotted to be available in the Philippines for about
two years (since I started my journey) but had no luck. Then last February I
randomly found it on National Bookstore Glorietta. I was stunned for a minute
of disbelief. I, without a doubt, bought one and felt like I literally brought
home the bacon.
What I
Love about Leuchtturm1917 A5 Dotted
●
Perfect
size for a planner
●
High-quality
paper
●
Has
built-in pages
●
Dotted!!!
●
Doesn’t
easily bleed through the pages
Available
in National Bookstore or Ebay Philippines
Price is
1,200pesos.
NOTE. This notebook is hard to find. As in!!! A week after I bought my first
Leuchtturm1917 notebook I went back to the same bookstore and it is not
available anymore! I was devastated to be honest. Thankfully I visit National
Bookstore Greenbelt 1 and saw one but in different color though.
Other
Notebook I’ve used before is Muji A5 Dotted (almost all version of their 15
Dotted I have already used) you can take a look HERE, HERE and HERE. I also
used a Victoria Dotted notebook for my June 2016 setup but this not available
locally anymore.
Pens
I have
always been a Pilot G-Tech baby. I love this pen so much I even bought it in
other colors like red, green, blue and purple before. I love how this pen makes
my handwriting neat and pretty. It doesn’t bleed through pages and dries fast.
I always prefer to use .04 but if this is not available I go with .03 instead.
What I
Love about Pilot G-Tech
●
Perfect
for fine writing
●
Has the
right intensity when used
●
Available
in different colors
●
Easily
found
Available
in National Bookstore
Price is
73.25pesos
NOTE. Once I bought this pen and the lady handled me a different looking one. She said
that it is the same Pilot G-Tech but only different design called Maica. Not my
favorite and will definitely not buy anymore because there’s too much ink on
the tip making my notebook messy :(
Aside
from Pilot G-Tech I don’t use any other pen anymore. I’m loyal.
Coloring Brush Pens
I
recently bought an 18-pc Stabilo Power
Felt Tip set and I love it. I use almost all the colors to add life on my
Bullet Journal. These pens come in different color combination per set so you
need to choose well. I only bought the 18-pc because there are colors that are
too redundant already. Plus I don’t like to carry too much coloring pens with
me on a daily basis. My favorite is the color in this set are Grey and Skin
Tone for they look really pretty when used.
What I
love about the 18-pc Stabilo Power Felt Tip set

Perfect

selection is phenomenal
●
Doesn’t
easily bleed through the pages

NOTE. My
favorite way to use coloring brush pens in my Bullet Journal is to color code.
I use color code in my daily life and my time tracker.

Aside
from this 18-pc Stabilo Power Felt Tip I’ve also used the Stabilo Point 88 in
Black, Red and Skyblue as well as Dong-A My Gel set, Dong-A Hyper Plus
Fineliner 0.4mm and Dong A Playon Color Duo Set. I also own one Tombow Dual
Brush Pens in Mint but don’t know how to properly use it, haha.
Other Supplies and Must-Haves
A Ruler.
Anything will do as long as I have a ruler to use when I do My Monthly Pages or
any collection that will need a straight line.
A
White-Out Pen. Mistakes are inevitable in Bullet Journal so this will come
handy every time. I don’t like the tape because I find it hard to write when
used. Pens on the other hand are much easier to use.
A Pencil
Case. I bought my pretty pencil case in National Bookstore as well and it is so
nice. It fits all of my pens and really offers a lot of space in my opinion.
A
Highlighter. I use this to mark my Most Important Tasks of the day. My favorite
is the classic neon green of Faber Castell or Artline.
About two years ago I found a video on my Facebook Newsfeed about Bullet Journal. I fell in love at first watch. I published my very first BuJu on the blog January 2016 and started revealing myset up on a monthly basis. By mid of the same year I posted the lessons Ilearned after two years of applying the system in my life and even created a Pinterest Board of Unique Bullet Journal Ideas to try.
It’s been a journey, really and I don’t think
I will stop any time soon. Bullet Journal took my productivity on a different
level and made me more intentional on how I use my time. I will forever be
thankful that I found out about this system earlier and no regret spending
money on it.
Hope you liked this post.
