bullet journal

Getting into bullet journalling again

Hi everyone. So a few years back, I got into the whole shebang of bullet journalling but for some reason I didn’t do it for that long so I kind of forgot about it… until a few weeks ago. Let me tell you how I started a bullet journal again. I was kind of excited to plan this something-something and I needed something to write what I was planning. Kind of like a specific planner. So I went to the bookstore and I bought this really nice spiral-bound notebook with white and gold cover. You might have seen it if you followed my Instagram stories religiously. The notebook that I initially wanted to make as a planner turned into something else. I started crafting an index page, a yearly at a glance page, an expense tracker page, a read-a-book page, and 5 seconds later I realised that “holy shit, this is turning into a bullet journal!” so with bullet journal came the need to have a dotted page notebook because duh, what is bullet journal …

Three Things Today // 20.8.18

So you know how I really wanted to write about something that I’m super excited about but I figured that it’s not that exciting to have its own post dedicated to it so I thought that I’m going to start a new series called 3T — Three Things Today. Basically, it’s where I post about the three things that I’m excited about in a particular day. It can be a weekly thing — it can be whatever I want it to be, honestly. It can be as short or as long as I want. It’s very flexible — it can be food, it can be a mixture of everything that’s on top of my head. So I’m going to start this post with…… (if you haven’t seen my Instagram stories already) To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before To sum it up — PETER KAVINSKY. Oh, lord. The movie came out on Netflix just a few days ago and I legit have watched it 3 times already. It’s so good and I haven’t seen a worth-to-watch …

Let’s talk: I’m going vegan! …and a bunch of other things.

Before I go into the main reason why I’m writing this post, I would like to mention how I miss doing a let’s talk post where I talk about anything and everything under my radar. I need to start writing again and find my long-lost blogging mojo because I’m not going to let my blog die. I’ve nurtured it to the point where my blog is a part of my life that I might not write in a while but I’ll always come back to it because I know that it’s my safe space. Blogging needs creativity and right now that’s pretty much what I lack. BUT THAT’S GOING TO CHANGE! I’m struggling everyday after I got home from work by sitting in front of my laptop and work on trying to write. I have a skincare routine post on the way so hopefully I’ll be able to finish it in a few days. Fingers crossed. The old Erin would have finished it in 6 hours but the new Erin is occupied with real life. Sobs. …

So, my brother graduated diploma.

I have missed you!!!!!!! Ok the reason why I haven’t been writing on my blog is because I purposely left my MacBook at my parents’ house thinking that “oh, it’s okay la, I won’t have time to blog anyway with my day job, might as well leave my baby home” and guess what? I am blogsick! If you’ve been following me on Instagram stories, you would know that I storied “I miss my laptop! :(” every 5 seconds because this is the longest I have been away from my laptop. Never again will I leave it at home because I’m dying without it. Phone’s great, but I need laptop to do work and replying emails. And I need my laptop to obsess on my blog, for real. Anyway I’m currently on leave from work because my brother graduated diploma! Not high school diploma for you international lot out there but a university diploma if you’re a Malaysian. He graduated Diploma in Electrical Engineering from UNITEN and is now waiting for university calls for Bachelor’s degree. …

What I’ve Been Watching

Getting back into tv shows after months of not having the extra time in a day due to work (studies, jobs..) is such a bliss! I was overwhelmed by the episodes I have been missing and although I’m slowly going through my unwatched list, I also started watching new tv shows just because… Soz. Smallville When I was in primary school, a local tv station aired Smallville every Sunday night and I would always watch it while doing my homework or chilling in my mom’s room. I finished the first two seasons in just a few weeks and will be continuing with the third one later. One more thing — can we talk about the soundtrack? I knew I liked Lifehouse – You and Me from that very show! Quantico I have always been a fan of crime/action tv shows and this one is checked for both. I love playing this in the background while getting ready for work or before I go to bed. And Priyanka Chopra is beautiful bye. The Kissing Booth A …

A Very Much Needed Life Update | I’m back for good!

Hey you! Okay. Before you go all “Wait whose blog is this???” on me, hi I’m Erin and I own this blog. Nice to meet you! I have a few reasons why I was missing in action for a month. I had a lot in my plate for the whole month because I have final exam and also thesis submission, add into it 6895403286 submission deadlines and that basically sums up my May 2018. However, that is all in the past now! I am done with my classes and 8 semesters of pain, tears, and blood but I’m not quite done yet with my studies, unfortunately. I still have teaching practicum and the remaining chapters of my thesis left but I’m planning on doing my practicum next year anyway so there’s no rush. Although I must say that my heart’s not in it anymore. Your home girl has got a new job! Looks like I’m not leaving Shah Alam yet. There’s so much that I wanted to do and I think that going back to …
