#slate2015

A clean slate as defined by JimiBiz of Urban Dictionary, means starting anew, with a fresh approach. A clean slate begins with the action of 'wiping the slate clean'.

And with that, I present to you my Slate 2015 Planner.

I have previously owned 2 planners so far, and I always stop writing in them even before I reach the month of June. It’s either I get bored or lazy halfway through the year. I bought mine at National Book Store for P599. You can also order from their website.

The Slate 2015 Planner has a simple dark brown wooden-looking exterior but is filled with mind-blowing artworks in the interior. The visual works gives off a feeling of wandering inside an art museum. I’ve decorated mine with the stickers that I got from PULP Magazine’s Issue no. 160 Bazooka Rocks III. I guess this planner is for the straightforward ones who really want to get things done on a certain amount of time.

The reason for buying yet another planner is because I feel that this year would be more hectic than the previous one because my best friend will be visiting the country for a week, I was asked to join the events committee in planning for a sports fest for the company I work for, the classes that I plan to take up for this year, just to name a few.

If you haven’t bought a planner yet, it’s not too late! Check out Aimee Dacanay’s article on spot.ph about the 50 Best Planners for 2015.

Belated Merry Christmas everyone. 5 more days till 2015, huh? 2014 was indeed fast. Well, this christmas I decided to buy a bigger planner (plus the papemelrotti one) because of the following reasons: 

1. Organization (Well, The Papemelrotti planner could do this)

2.MORE DETAILED organization - due to THESIS (Halaaaaa!)

3.Something to write on when I am HAPPY. - I used to do something called "The Happiness Box 2014" but I stopped midyear cause I was too lazy to cut paper =)) but it's a fun thought going through all of those happy memories. Such good vibes. But since I am lazy to find and cut paper, I'll put it in this planner instead. Hopefully, this year I'll complete it. and fill it with Happy memories :D

And the planner that I chose is... Slate 2015 :)

And with buying a new planner for next year, I have set some goals that I wanted to share with all of you, as a reminder to myself whenever I read my planner/blog and as to share inspiration to all of you. :) I call it my "2015 briefing" 

Well, here's a snap shot of it. :)

The first paragraph is the reasons on why I bought the planner in the first place then the following others states:

Thus, these are the Goals for 2015:

1. Be the HAPPIEST that you can be! - (Di naman kelangang pilit, basta take note of when you're happy! Reread it over and it will surely send you good vibes :)) - Write HAPPY STUFFS! Diary Kuno ;)

*Translation for tagalog :) - It doesn't have to be forced, just take note of when you're happy!

2. TIME MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION (w/ notes) is the key! You can do it! But do not compromise QUALITY. (This is something that is hard for me to do for this year, yes I'm good in time management but most of the time I'm not happy with my work. This is what it means to be a UST architecture student. Well, even other people can experience this I'm just speaking as an arki student :) - usually, in order to finish I don't think it much through. Yes, it's okay but I'm not satisfied with it and when I look at it when it's done I always say "I wish I had done this and that. I KNOW I CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER." but this year, hopefully I can master doing both. Haha! Goodbye sleep na talaga! :( :)))

*PS. I would like to thank a certain person. I think you know who you are. Actually two people.

1st - Is the person who always challenges me to do my best, even though that person doesn't realize it. Always teasing me that his work is much better than mine. But truly the teasing motivates me more =))

2nd - the person who is so great in what he does, and yet says that I can do it. Being brutally honest about my works and being patient in teaching me when I need something and of course a good friend as well. 

3. Bawas bawasan mo ang pagiging overthinker mo :D. - I know it's hard but it's something that you must do in order to be sane :D Yakang yaka mo yan, girl!

*Translation for tagalog - Lessen your habit of overthinking! - I know it's hard but it's something that you must do in order to be sane :D You can do it, girl!

4. Learn when to SHUT UP! and choose the people you help. Nako, mahirap na :D

*Translation for tagalog - It's too risky. :D

5. NO TRES IF POSSIBLE. Study harder. Kaya mo yan! Di naman kelangan DL basta you did your best! :D 

*Translation for tagalog - You can do it! You don't have to be in the dean's list just do your best!

And here's the part I like best :D

and ALWAYS remember that no matter how hypocrital (Is there such a word? :))))) it sounds right now, do not be INSECURE. You are beautiful. You can be smart. You have a LOT to offer. You are LOVED.

*end*

but I kinda forgot something, well it's just.... You are worth the risk and you deserve the BEST. (I tell myself these things to make me feel better)

Well, cheers to a new year :D (in 5 days) :D
