I've been using it for more than a year, mine would end this Dec 2014. Who ever thought that using 18 months long organizer is better than 12? Moleskine. 

For me, I think the length of this planner is just right. By one year, it looked more than half full, I used almost every single page of this planner. I am an organized person in my works*; I have a full-time job, several freelance jobs, and my small business. So I need to take notes for the weekly activities and update my schedule from time to time. *but my room doesn't reflect me as an organized person at all - I have this terrifying thoughts that if I'm too organized, my OCD will control my life. I read too many real-life OCD experience.

It is quite heavy for my sling bag, because I usually bring 1-2 novels when I go out. So I leave this planner most of the time. I update it weekly or twice a week. Every important things will be written in the planner, so if there are any spies out there that want to go through my life and know important appointments like in those movies you watch, they might find something useful in my planner. Maybe I am planning on capturing the world or I am one of those biggest underrated black-listed dealers, who would ever thought something like that, huh.

One thing I don't really like is the long-sized box for each day because 2 pages are used for 1 week, so I need to write in 3-4 words for one line. I love to write super-lenghty lines of words, and this just gives me limitation before I could even start writing. So I just write everything in short-form and bullet-points. Oh, and I don't like the price too. 

+I don't really understand why they included the address book. No one in our generation really use one anymore, because we can simply use Facebook and they will keep the data. What a waste. 

I love the back-pocket. Every Moleskine comes with back-pocket. So I can put my instax selfies or nice dried leaves that I found in the park or a picture of Hemsworth brothers from a magazine or love letters and postcards. 

Will I be using any other Moleskine's planner after this? Maybe. 

Or maybe I'll try daily planner in petite size.

Details :

I bought these little over-priced notebooks several times over the years now. It is really small, pocket-sized means you can put it in your back pocket, which I really feel convenient. I can put it in my bag and not feel like it takes too much space. 

I use one for my doodles, I use one for my poems and writings, I use one for note-taking. I like the empty brown-colored paper as the book's cover even though I know it will be a little dirty when it is overused. So what I usually do is wrap it with clear-plastic sticker for extra protection after I doodled something on the cover. 

The paper quality is great to be used with small-sized artlines. My personal favorite is Unipin 0.3 and Pilot Drawing Pen 0.5, that I can simply use for doodles and will try my best not to spoil any of the pages - knowing it is very expensive, somehow it motivates me to not make any mistake at all. It doesn't smear. I don't really like to use pencil in these books, because I don't get the satisfying pencil-effect as I get when I use our local Go Palm notebooks.

I'm not sure whether any of the information is useful, but as an avid notebook user, I really think learning about paper-texture really helped me make everything from doodles and writings to scribbles seem more eye-pleasing, after all I really like to go through all my notebooks over and over again.

Doodle : My Doodle Book

Hello !

I found a really nice empty doodle book! Perfect for my doodles using pencil, it is clean and it does not crumple when I erase any mistakes. Nice size, it is A6,  small enough to be stuffed in my bag with 48 pages to doodle. I love it! 

I used to use Moleskine's notebook, but it gets too pricey when it comes to random doodles and note taking. So I've been searching for a replacement. This is it!

Doodle : Oh doodles me more!

Hello !

I have a habit of taking notes & doodle when I hear or saw any interesting things that I want to remember. As a human, I know I have a brain of a goldfish, I forget things so easily! So I take notes on things in my various notebooks. Quotes, interesting sayings, inspirations, items around me, and such. Here are some of them :
