It's like an addiction.
Writing using pen and paper seems to be on its way to becoming a lost art in this digital age (OMG we're in 2010! Sounds so futuristic... "Notebooks? Aren't those, like, mini-laptops?"), so I get ridiculously delighted every time I get a free notebook or whenever someone gives me a diary as a present. There's nothing handier than a little notebook when you're struck by an inspiration bolt without any computers and electricity around...
Just a few notebooks in the collection...From circa 2001-2009
I have separate notebooks for diary entries, blog entry drafts, songs and poems, but I still needed another one to record abstract, spur-of-the-moment inspirations and ideas in. (Even though I do already have an empty one. Which I think is still too pretty for me to write in.)
The notebook that's too pretty for me to actually write in. Sayang kot!So I was embarrassingly a bit too happy the other day when I found a little notebook in the conference kit given to us participants of the Found in Translation conference I attended last weekend. The notebook was the perfect size! Small enough to fit into my smallest handbag and thick enough to last me at least until the end of the year! It was a bit on the plain side, though. Hardly inspiring at all.
Before...So as soon as I got home, I took out my wrapping paper collection (I also hoard pretty wrapping papers! :shame:) and wrapped the ugliness away! Lo and behold!
After!I'm happy with how that turned out. A bit too happy. Now I feel like writing in it would be like defacing it. Urgh, what is wrong with me.
Anyway.
Lots of love,
from Me.

How could you turn that ugly blue journal into a damnit-Rudy-wants-one notebook!?
Easy! Ingredients:
1. Ugly notebook.
2. Pretty wrapping paper.
3. Plastic book wrap thingy that you use to wrap textbooks.
4. Cellophane tape.
Et voila! :D
we are soooooo alike in this matter, kak aisya! this notebooks addiction stuff, different notebooks for different purposes and other things u wrote in this entry! i'm so happy to know someone who is just like a duplicate of me (well, of course you are superior in all other aspects ;p).

Shiz, I suck at wrapping books D:
Trini! Don't say stuff like 'of course you are superior in all other aspects' because that's not even true! OMG I don't even know what to say anymore... But yay! It's nice to know I'm not the only notebookaholic...! I have a few more that I haven't written in, but every time I see a pretty notebook, I still feel like buying it. MPH has the most cantik notebooks EVER in the giftbooks section.
