The Standard Memorandum 2017.

Introducing: The Standard Memorandum Notebook

Inspired by pocket journals from the early to mid 1900's, The Standard Memorandum is designed to chronicle a year of your life. Word. has teamed up with designer and illustrator, Jon Contino, to create a modern version of this storied notebook. The Standard Memorandum is laid out so you simply jot down a line or two every day for a year and are left with a memento you can save or pass down. The project began after Jon discovered his wife's great-grandfather's pocket journals from the early 1900's that basically recreated what his life was like. Born out of a desire to start doing this himself, Jon partnered with Word. Notebooks to create a journal like the ones he found. The Standard Memorandum is that journal.

Getting ready for 2017.

Are your planners ready for the 2017 ahead? 

For my 2016, I had changed a couple of planners, and I lost track how many planners I had used. 

I find it a little messy for me.

So for my 2017, I have set aside these planner / notebooks:

Top Right: Traveler's Company Camel passport size Traveler's Notebook.

Bottom Right: Traveler's Company Black passport size Traveler's Notebook.

Field Notes Black Ice, in Singapore

Field Notes Black Ice has finally arrived in Singapore!!

With it's shiny cover, it is certainly an attraction.

Unlike the normal edition, this is the first edition without staples (PUR Binding), therefore some users might not like it as it will makes writing harder.

With it's Ruled paper, it gives a vintage feel.
If you are an old-school type of person, this is the notebook you should keep inside your pocket.

Many users are concern if Black Ice are fountain pen friendly?
I tried out with a fountain pen with an EF nib, and it doesn't bleed through. 

But I had read some reviews that this is not the notebook for fountain pen users.

The price for this edition is SGD$22.00 (excluding postage fee).
To order, drop us an email and we will get back to you as soon as we can. 

 

QUOTIDIAN Pen

My recent pen(s) search makes a new discovery, one that bring writing to a whole new level.
A PLAYFUL and MAGNETIC level.

Check out Quotidian Pen, a minimalist ballpoint-pen that features the World's first magnetic propulsion mechanism, which will change the way you see, use and fidget with a pen forever! 

You saw that???

Write of the Day - 25092016

Here's my Write of the Day for 25 Sept 2016.

Wanted to practice Sketchnoting, but when I started writing, my creativity shuts down.
So I ended up doing Notes writing.

There's always another day to practice.

My Every Day Notebook

All my readers know I carry notebook(s) daily, but what do I have in it? 

This post will have an insight of my current Every Day Notebook.

Enjoy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been carrying these notebooks for the past months:

- Field Notes Sweet Tooth as Weekly Planner;

- Field Notes America The Beautiful as my Random Notebook;

- & PocketMod for my To-Do-List. 

They are great for I love pocket size notebook(s) and I can easily stuff them into the side pocket of my pants. Having them separated is easily for me to organize my stuffs. 

But.... I changed. 

Write of the Day - 20092016

While writing tonight, I think i should share what I have written with my reader, and here we go, Write of the Day for 20 Sept 2016.

Enjoy! 

Cristina Gomes Leather Cover

Few months back, I decided to invest in a A6 leather cover.

Why A6, many people asked?

At first, I wasn't a great fan of A6 notebook as I very much preferred something smaller, but not too small. Passport size is too small, and A6 is slightly too big, so I choose Field Notes.

But I realized, A6 size is actually a very comfortable size to write in.

After much consideration on if I should get another leather cover, I decided to get one.

After browsing around, I discovered Cristina Leather on Facebook.

Inside My Camel Traveler's Notebook

My Camel Traveler's Notebook is my current new Every Day Carry.

For this Traveler's Notebook, I want to keep it as simple and as thin as possible, so that it will be easy for me to carry it around.
But at the same time, I want to be able to the most out of this TN.

Requirements:
1. A planner that allows me to write down my schedules, and also, a space where I can draw, doodle and write quotes.
2. A notebook for Brain Dump and important reads.
3. A pouch to store my accessories.
4. A pen loop that will not obstruct when I write.
5. Card slots.

So far, I guess the Setup has met all the requirements.

What's in my Traveler's Notebook:
- 019 Free Diary;
- 003 Blank Note;
- Advanced Zipper pouch
- Sakura Pigma Micron Pen size 03

Unboxing my Traveler's Notebook Camel edition

By now, many Traveler's Notebook users have all gotten their Camel edition.

I have received mine in mid-May 2016, although many users received theirs in late April 2016 or early May 2016.

Initiately, I have no idea what use do I have for this Camel edition, and I decided to make it my planner. Another planner despite my many unused planner on my study table.

Here's some of the photos taken during the unboxing:
