Journal catch-up~ commonplace book and Hobonichi weeks

[@moonlit.journal]

I had the same emotional reaction when visiting the Sagrada Familia! I know exactly what you mean - it is just overwhelmingly beautiful 🥺

[@Leey03]

Love the snippets of Korea at the start! I really like that you discuss the thought process or idea behind your spreads. For commonplacing, I try to finish reading an article or book and then go back to the quotes/paragraphs that I resonated with and copy them - under each one I put my thoughts about it and try to write why I think those things resonated with me at this time in my life.

[@adrislogs]

Yes, I think that’s the best method for me too. If I ever look back, I want to understand why I chose to write those words down in that moment. I feel like I need to engage with whatever I add to my pages. Thank you for your kind words ✨

[@isabel.Cc7]

I’m behind in catching up on your videos but i enjoyed this one so much!! It’s so interesting to hear your currently reading thoughts as well, thank you so much for sharing! Those stickers are super cute & it’s true if you buy a container for stationery then you feel like you have to fill it up haha so it’s very smart to use it for something else 😆it’s a beautiful blue!

[@adrislogs]

Thank you so much for watching! 🌸 Since moving abroad, I’ve had this lingering fear about how I’d ever fit everything in my luggage if I went back home. Realistically, I know I can ship things, but it still makes me more mindful about what I purchase.

[@laurelpockley2072]

Absolutely in love with your spreads. You’ve definitely inspired me to buy a weeks for 2025! I look forward to your next video🩵🩵

[@adrislogs]

Oh wow! I hope your journey with the Weeks goes well! If you share it on social media, let me know-I’d love to see it!🤍

[@CoffeeBookChick]

Feel better! I absolutely love your book discussions. Edith Wharton also happens to be one of my favorite authors and I’ve never read “Ghosts,” so I just put it on my list! “Down Under” looks amazing as well. Your videos are wonderful, please keep them going!

[@adrislogs]

I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so so much for your comment! If you read it let me know how it goes✨

[@lovkive]

absolutely adore your pages! would love to hear you talk about books more and more. i enjoy your talking style a whole lot. hope you’re feeling better already 💛

[@adrislogs]

@@lovkive you are too kind🥰 thank you so much 😊

[@marcellainthemargins]

Your pages look so nice, love them! I read my first Wharton earlier this year, The House of Mirth and absolutely adored it, definitely gonna be in my top 10 of the year, Ghosts sounds really good aswell.

[@tiny-yaga]

i hope you’re feeling better now! i’m so glad to have found your channel, your taste in books seems pretty close to mine! excited to hear more about your reads & your thoughts on commonplacing.

[@adrislogs]

Thank you! 😊 please let me know if you have any book recommendations, I will be happy to check them out✨

[@tiny-yaga]

@@adrislogs the last book i read & enjoyed was by a spanish author actually! "woodworm" by layla martínez, it was one of my spooky reads this year (i read the english translation, but i'm learning spanish so i hope to be able to read books in spanish one day haha). i also noticed you had a han kang book on your desk in one video - i like korean literature a lot, she's one of my faves. another one is hwang sok-yong and for non-fiction i really loved "the great soul of siberia" by park soo-yong, if you like books about nature, i really recommend that one! 🍀

[@adrislogs]

@ f Layla’s book, so I’ll definitely check it out. Korean literature is a huge passion of mine-it’s actually the main reason I moved to Korea to study. Han Kang is my favorite; I based my entire master’s thesis on her work. If you enjoy short stories, I highly recommend Ha Seong-nan’s Flowers of Mold!

[@tiny-yaga]

@@adrislogs ah that's so cool! i would love to hear more about your thesis 😍 소년이 온다/"human acts" is my favourite work of hers. i also studied korean literature at uni (in london, but i spent a year in seoul as part of my bachelor's degree). thanks for the recommendation, i've never read any ha seong-nan, but i've been meaning to read "bluebeard's first wife" - i'll def add "flowers of mold" to my list as well! 💗

[@YeahAnny]

I'm always excited to see a new upload from you! I have the same feelings about commonplacing. I sometimes feel bad that I don't use my commonplace too often but then I remember that I only catalogue things that are truly important to me or resonate with me. It feels better than just filling pages for the sake of using the book, if that makes sense 😅 P.S. I hope you fell better soon ❤

[@adrislogs]

I feel the same way. After experimenting with commonplacing, I realized I’ll approach it more slowly and start calling it my ‘little book of connections.’ I want the things I write there to be in conversation with each other-this way, I think I can learn more. ✨ Thank you for your comment 🤍

[@Parasiteve]

i watched this without sound and idk wtf that blue bag looking thing is but i want it lol. love your setup and handwriting! its clean and cute.

[@adrislogs]

I think you mean the blue tool box. It is from Toyo!

[@thejournaldiaries]

Beautiful pages. I really love your videos and the way your journals look ❤❤

[@adrislogs]

Thank you so much! I love your videos too!🤍

[@AntoniaVacasRomero]

Esperando con impaciencia el video

[@bavatharanig]

😍 I adore the way you fill your pages, maybe someday you could show us how do you print erin ware stickers to use them in your planner?

[@adrislogs]

Ooh, thank you for your kind words! I wish I had a fancy method, but I actually just print them at a self-service print cafe. I’m too nervous to mess with those industrial printers, so I don’t even change the paper! 😂 I think it’s just regular copy paper.

[@soggy_doggy]

Hi, Adri!! I DMed you last week about stationary shops in BCN and you kindly answered :> I loved my trip to BCN and all your suggestions! If you ever need some Lisbon tips, let me know 🥰 also, your Weeks is looking so so cool!!

[@adrislogs]

@@soggy_doggy Oh, I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I’ll definitely reach out if I ever need any recommendations for Lisbon😊✨

[@sofiasantillandiaz9124]

Hi!!! Loved the video. May I ask where are those face stickers from?

[@adrislogs]

@@sofiasantillandiaz9124 Thank you! The brand is Circus Boy Band, I believe is a Korean brand ✨

[@onad458]

Me encanta tu weeks 😭 para mi el commonplacing es más copiar pero con el proposito de que cuando lo quiera volver a leer se que esta todo ahi recojido, no suelo escribir mucho yo, sobretodo es copiar frases de libros o articulos, pero cada uno tiene su propio estilo! :)

[@adrislogs]

Yo también quería hacerlo de esta manera, pero me distraigo tan fácilmente que a veces ni sé lo que estoy copiando 😂. Así que he encontrado una manera que creo que puede funcionarme, y la compartiré la semana que viene.

[@AntoniaVacasRomero]

Hacer esas agendas es arte Me encanta como lo haces Felicidades

[@adrislogs]

Gracias ❤️

[@Kittygurrrrl]

how do you get those tiny pictures for your journals? what kind of printer do you use?

[@adrislogs]

I get them printed at the shop, I think that’s why they have a nice quality! I guess they use one of those big industrial printers ✨

[@mochisdiary]

No pasa nada si tardas en responder! Incluso si no puedes responder a todo, se comprende que tienes vida aparte de lo que nos compartes por aquí :) Ha sido chulo ver como se vive volver a casa cuando vives en otro país, yo solo he vivido fuera de mi ciudad pero dentro de España y es bastante diferente cuando hay una distancia tan grande. ¿Cada cuanto sueles poder volver? (Sólo es curiosidad, si no puedes responder o se siente muy personal lo entiendo!) Me gusta mucho ver como queda tu weeks cuando la completas, tienes una letra muy bonita y queda genial la semana terminada. No sé si querrías compartir también qué hizo que te mudases a Corea, y cómo sientes que ha cambiado tu vida quizás en algunos ámbitos (los que te sientas cómoda en compartir, por supuesto!). Sobre el micro: yo uso auriculares así que quizás para otras personas sí está bajito, pero en mi caso te escucho bien!

[@adrislogs]

Mil gracias por tu comentario! ✨ Pues esta ha sido la primera vez que he vuelto a casa después de mudarme, hace ya dos años. La verdad que me hubiera encantado ir antes, pero tristemente en Corea por lo general solo se tienen 12 o 15 días de vacaciones al año, así que las he acumulado para este viaje. Aunque, ahora que tengo un trabajo estable, mi intención es volver cada año. Me mudé a Corea para estudiar un máster en Estudios de Género! ✨ Yo también pienso que la letra hace mucho. A veces cuando decoro la página no me acaba de convencer, pero una vez escrita es como que todo encaja.

[@mochisdiary]

@adrislogs guau, sí que son poquitos días de vacaciones, espero que puedas disfrutarlos a tu manera! Es difícil gestionar los días de vacaciones y más si son tan pocos. Qué guay lo del máster! Me parece curiosísimo como debe ser estudiar sobre género fuera de España y las visiones que se tienen en otros países y culturas. Coincido contigo en cuanto a la visión de las páginas sólo decoradas vs con letra, cambia un montón 😂 Por cierto espero que te mejores pronto! Entre el viaje y el cambio de tiempo te habrán bajado un poco las defensas pero seguro que en unos días te sentirás mejor 💙

[@adrislogs]

@ Muchas gracias! Hoy ya me encuentro mucho mejor ✨ La verdad es que fue muy interesante ver diferentes perspectivas, pero la realidad es que la mayoría de las teorías provenían de Europa o EEUU. Mil gracias por comentar 😊

[@JuliusMar]

Hi!!! As always, love your videos!!! Can I ask about that blue pen?? I suspect you have talked about it before, but I'm relatively new here, and looking for new things for myself this end of the year haha

[@adrislogs]

Thank you! The blue pen is a Jinhao 82, and If I am not mistaken is the color Clear Celestite. Hope that helps!

[@JuliusMar]

@@adrislogs Thank you!!
