GMARKET SEPTEMBER 2012 HAUL

Yayy! So I actually am very happy to have ordered from Gmarket after a very long time. Long enough that my status have gone from gold to newcomer! And some many months ago, I only needed 1 point to reach VIP status. What a waste! Not to mention I really didn't get to spend the 50k shopping support rewards I got from my winning blog. Double waste! Anyway, on to the purchase. My package arrived in three days but on a weekend so I had to wait for extra two days. The wait was nothing though so here they are!

This time I bought stationeries and they are stuff that I REALLY need.  It came in a huge box! Not surprised at all. =)

I love piling them up like this. ;)

I am a sucker for travel notes and I like to jot down every single interesting details as a memoir.  So I got several kinds of travel diary. The first one (down below) is one of a kind. I like that it has all the pages and panels that I need to write my notes on where to go, how to get there. You can keep track of your cash and expenses. Has a couple pages for free notes to write down reminders, wish lists, and to-do lists. The best part is, you can buy refills! So it is pretty neat! The note: Link. The refill: Link

I am going to use this on my upcoming trip to HK and have started writing bits and pieces on some of the pages. It is a very comfy notebook to write in.

The second travel note, My Travel Episode, (noting the word episode) is a whole lot smaller and I got the idea of buying them for my shorter trips that last for only 2 or 3 days,. That way, I can keep each trip in one diary, as I like, without wasting pages. Plus, it is really thin and portable, even smaller than a passport so you can easily slip it into one of your pouches. It is also nice looking and comes in different colors. Note: they come in two sizes, tall and short. I got all short ones. Link

Also, the other thing I like about this is that it includes 4 pieces of  sticker panels you can stick on a page and  keep your memorable what-nots like receipts and hotel cards and the likes. =) This is love!

Update: I have used this in my recent trip to Osaka, which only lasted for two days. Short alright, but I managed to fill up the whole thing. 

Important stuff check list.

The sticker panel that I was talking about.

Up next are the vocabulary notes, VOCA! I am currently learning Korean and figure this would really help in retaining vocabulary memory. I also use this for my Chinese reading. There is so much more to learn! Anyway, with this note, you can store up to 320 words. It's vertical and thin so you can grasp it in one hand, carry it around and take 'em out for review while you're commuting. This comes in 3 colors but I only got two. I ordered another type, the one that I really must absolutely get, but it was, sadly, OOS. Link

I am usually a 'big' writer but there is enough space for me to write whatever I need to. =)

Third one up is LE CHAT CASH BOOK.  Thought I should pronounce it as le CAT cash book?! Excuse my French. I bought this to keep track of my expenses (hello!) well more than my income. It came bigger than I expected but I supposed it make it easier for me to write on.  It provides a date column, choices of whether that money is incoming or outgoing and to and from where, the description of the transaction, amount and balance.  It comes with a transparent cover and the design is love! Link

The last two, honestly, I just bought them because they are super cute to me. A sticker set that comes in a tin box with a lovely little girl saying 'I Like Single'. Yep that face right there. Super adorable!!! Haven't opened it yet and same goes for the rest of my sticker collection ages ago. >< Sticker: Link

The other one is a 100-day Planner. Love the sound of that. I used to write three-month weight loss plans and goals and thought this would be useful for achieving goals. Instead of putting them in a notebook, you get to jot every single detail of a day on one page and place it as a desk calendar so you can look at it wherever you're working or studying. I can also use this for my Korean studies where I strive to finish a book in 100 days, and if you convert it to months, a little over three months is actually a long time. This will help you motivate, being its nice-looking and simple enough to use. I love how the numbers are already printed on each page.  You get to write the date, weather, mood, wake up time, a panel for memos and the the bigger one for time and study plan or contents. Imagine how good this will look after its filled. It should be very fulfilling. ;) Link

Aye! ;)

Thanks to the seller I got a freebie! Cute elephant note, same size as 'my travel episode' note. =)

Overall, this is a very wonderful purchase. I found another reason to shop online! If you are interested in one of these items, let me know and I'll gladly send you the link to get them. Hope you enjoy! =D
