OTW: Travel
My family did not travel much when I was a kid. My parents worked really hard, and taking time off meant not making money, so it just wasn’t a priority in our household. Whenever people talk about family trips I feel like I missed out on so much. So when I got older, I made it a point to take at least one vacation every year to make up for lost time. When the pandemic got out of control, we had…

OTW: APHM - Racism
OTW: APHM – Racism
As always, I’m not an expert in anything and I’m not speaking for anyone but myself here. Buckle in, this is a tough topic 😬 I touched on this briefly last week, but at the beginning of the pandemic my friends and I checked in with each other a lot. That’s when I first heard about Stop AAPI Hate. It was kind of like, “Hopefully it doesn’t come to this, but in case anything happens, you can…

OTW: APHM - Identity
OTW: APHM – Identity
May is Asian Pacific Heritage Month, so I just wanted to share some of my thoughts over the next few weeks. As a reminder, I am not an expert in anything really haha These are just my opinions based on personal experiences. And there’s a lot that can be said about personal identity and racial identity, but I can’t speak for anyone other than myself. Most of my life I identified as either…

Rifle Paper Co. Calendar Envelopes
Rifle Paper Co. Calendar Envelopes
We are doing some Spring cleaning and I found this old Rifle Paper Wildwood calendar from 2019. I pitched keeping the calendar for 10 more years when the dates cycle back around to match up again, but my partner squashed that idea immediately 😂 It’s such a nice calendar though, I love the floral designs in it. Taking inspiration from my Cavallini calendar letter paper, I decided to turn this…

OTW: UPDATE - Not a first time home buyer
OTW: UPDATE – Not a first time home buyer
So it’s over, I officially give up. We lowered our expectations, we lowered our standards, let go of the idea of having a yard, let go of the idea of having a detached home, started looking at towns further away, started looking at houses in the asking range $200,000 lower than before. After four weeks of patiently checking new listings, 2 townhomes popped up that finally peaked our interest. I…

OTW: Gudetama
I wanted to talk about one of the oddest Sanrio characters: Gudetama, the lazy egg. The first time I saw this character, all I thought was, “WTF? Sanrio has lost it.” Over time it grew on me, and now it is my absolute favorite. After this past year, I definitely identify as a lazy depressed egg. Gudetama is my spirit animal. I love the way it jiggles, and its little butt and legs are so cute. It…

OTW: First time homebuyer
I skipped last weekend’s regular post because there is just a lot going on for me right now. I’m currently in the process of looking for my first home…in the Bay Area…during one of the most competitive times to buy a house. It’s not going well. We have put in offers on three houses so far, each was rejected due to higher bids with no contingencies. Some of these houses are getting 20 offers…

J. Herbin Supple Wax
J. Herbin Supple Wax
I wanted to up my penpaling game so I started using wax seals 😎 I was familiar with J. Herbin because they use the same US distributor as Rhodia notebooks. I tried their Supple Sealing Wax in Midnight Blue and really like it so far! The way it works is you hold the stick over the spot you want your seal and then melt one end of the stick (I use a Bic long range lighter because I’m scared of…

OTW: Tigerbelly
I can only listen to comedy podcasts because I do not have the attention span for anything else xD I started listening to Tigerbelly with Bobby Lee, Khalyla, and Gilbert Galon because they interview a lot of Bobby’s comedian friends. It has been a real joy listening to their journey over the past few years. Like many people, I recognized Bobby Lee from MadTV. If you are not familiar with him, he…

DIY Hello Card
In college I took a printmaking class and it was so much fun! For this post I will focus on a type of printmaking called linocut or block printing to make a little greeting card. You can easily do it from home with just a few tools. Here is a general list of what you need, I will include specific brands below: sketch paper, pencil, tracing paper, linoleum block, carving set, printmaking ink,…

Off Topic Wednesdays
I want to do more personal posts as practice to keep writing. I’m going to call these Off Topic Wednesdays, and they will be periodic posts focusing on non-stationery and non-gift things that also give me joy. As much as I want to comment on current events, I’m no expert and don’t really have anything new to contribute, so I just won’t. This past year has been so emotionally draining..I started…

Kyokuto Fob Coop
This is my favorite spiral bound notebook. It has a nice and plain design with good quality paper – can’t really ask for more than that! The notebook has a clear frosted plastic front cover with a heavy cardboard backing. The spiral is really nice quality, I’ve never experienced any bending or warping. My preferred size is B5 though it also comes in A5. There are lined, dot grid, and blank…

Ohto Words rollerball pen
Ohto Words rollerball pen
I really like Ohto rollerball pens! I bought one as a fancy pen gift for someone else, and eventually got one for myself (because I almost kept it for myself hehe). It just looks really sleek, and shiny, and pretty 😀 The body is made of aluminum with a plastic grip. It’s on the slimmer side and is more lightweight than it looks. The one I have is gunmetal brown which pairs really nicely with the…

U Brands Marble Spiral Bound Notebook
U Brands Marble Spiral Bound Notebook
I was getting some other items from U Brands and purchased this notebook because it was on sale. I was looking for something I could use as a bedside dream journal, just for fun. Turns out the paper quality of this notebook is really nice, what a pleasant surprise! The first thing I check on any notebook is the paper texture. I really like how smooth the paper is on this notebook. I normally use…

Green Apple Books
This is my go-to store for books, puzzles, and notebooks in my hometown of San Francisco. You can find Green Apple Books on the corner of Clement & 6th Avenue, just look for the leprechaun and crates full of books outside. This SF institution has been around since 1967 and has since expanded into a music/comic book annex next door, and also to a second location on the other side of Golden Gate…

Pilot Hi Tec C Coleto
Pilot Hi Tec C Coleto
Pilot’s Hi Tec C Coleto is the end all be all of customizable combination pens. They have so many refill and body options it’s almost overwhelming. You can basically build your ideal combination pen from scratch, which is brilliant! The way it works is you choose a body and then you choose cartridges. All components are sold separately so it can definitely add up depending on how much you want…

Field Notes National Parks notebooks
Field Notes National Parks notebooks
I have always been curious about Field Notes notebooks, and I was definitely drawn to this mini notebook set because of the cover designs. Part of the notebook sales go towards the US National Park Service. I went for the B series which includes the Grand Canyon, Mount Rainier, and Joshua Tree National Parks designs – partly because I have had the pleasure of visiting all three in the past, but…
