Didn't feel like going home after work so what did I do? Went all the way to Makati to journal at a cafe once again. Great coffee, good vibes, friendly staff! The unique thing here for me is the public journal they had. Had a lot of fun reading everyone's entries and got to pour my heart out with my own entry as well. It felt cathartic and freeing and I wish some other spaces adapt something like this too.

It rained really hard all of a sudden while I was walking and I quickly escaped into this small but cozy cafe. Tried Hojicha for the first time and it was superb! Spent a nice slow morning just sipping my new drink and journaling about life lately. 💜

In celebration of Festa (BTS anniversary) I wanted to have all my fountain pens inked with a purple color. Sadly my Twsbi was the last one since it took so long to run out (hello ink capacity 🤣) but now it's finally out! Festa is done but it's still June so I didn't mind. Happy Festa to any ARMYs here 💜💜💜

Bought some new stuff! Lost a journaling clip I really liked, one I got from Plannercon. So I decided to just buy it again directly from the artist. I was really just going to buy just the one journaling clip, but I checked out other things along the way. The freebie sticker she gave me, "don't judge my gastos when you don't know my sipag." felt veryyyy on point when it comes to me 🤣

Had a great time at Common Room Makati! Went pretty early so there wasn't much people yet and got myself coffee and snacks. Didn't really like the coffee sadly but the snack was great! Spent a few hours just chilling reading and journaling and I definitely bought more than I should 🤣

Thank you to the person who recommended it to me it really was such a relaxing place to just journal and hang out. 💜

Well it looks like I'm late to the party. Shame. But the ink I'm using isn't technically a true red so 🙈 For reference, ink is from ON inks Manila Pen Show 2026 exclusive Cherry Bomb. Been really liking it a lot actually 😍

Went to a cafe (again) and... I probably won't be back. Coffee was good, and the dessert was fine pero the place was noisy as hell. Anyways, glad I finally got to try it!

Today's daily entry: rain, rain and MORE rain. Musings about said cafe as always. Can't be seen in the pic but I tried my hand at sketching simple stuff. So far not so good 💀 A quick entry of meeting up with relatives who I haven't seen in years. Wanting to go to a specific cafe but can't because, RAIN. Until next time~

Omg new venue! So excited to go this November 😍

I really do have way too much fun journaling at cafes ahahaha. I could stay for hours just journaling and I'd be happy. 🤣 Today's entry is about how I dropped my Twsbi Eco (she's fine thankfully) and my musings about said cafe~
