Stationeries, scrapbooks and all those trinkets

I love stationeries. Journals. Notepads. Pens. Fragrant paper. All kinds of stationeries. When I hang out in bookstores, I always find myself checking out these items. I would touch the intricate designs and colorful pictures and cartoons that add charm to their cover. Some have plain colors, while the others are inspired by Nature. I would often fail to resist the urge to take off their protective plastic covers. I love the sound of the snap of the journals' garter belts when I play with them. I leaf through the pages and see whether they have particular flowery scents or not.

I am also fond of scrapbook materials. All those nice little trinkets that come along with the packages are just so nice. Sometimes there would be stickers and metal charms or rubber flowers that you can paste on your scrapbook. They come in different interesting themes! The last time I made a scrapbook was in 2005, when me and my friends Deo and Tin2 went to Cebu and Bohol for a quick summer break. After a few months, the photos and the trinkets caught moist and formed all those amag. That's when I stopped making them. Plus of course, blogs and social networking sites came about. But still, the internet did not keep me from buying them! I am still a fan. In fact, I have a number of unused scented papers and nice little envelopes to match. I should really start sending letters to friends again! =)
