Hi there! I'm Ru and I spend way too much time thinking (and talking) about planners, journalling, fountain pens, inks and stickers. Always on the quest for the perfect planner spread and new ways to use my Hobonichi & Sterling Ink planners.

Good to see you back. Hope you're feeling fully better soon!
Where is your hobo weeks cover from? It's sooo cute!!
Yes, it is the season and so easy to get under the weather! Glad you are back and getting back into the swing of things. The stickers throughout October are nice and I can relate to the house issues. It seems like every month something goes haywire and we are trying to figure it out... (old house!) I keep seeing everyone unboxing their take a note planners lately. It's such a beautiful design, but I have no need for a planner. I'll just admire from afar!
microphone sounds fine
Perfect stickers for this season ❤
Hi! I missed you! Can you please tell me how you divide up your left hand page? What categories do you put in the columns?
Glad to have you back and hope you feel better! The pages still look great :)
hiii.. wondering where you got the landscape PET tapes you used on your take-a-note planner?
They're from Journalsay! You can find them here: www.journalsay.com/products/journalsay-30mm-200cm-to-the-mountains-and-the-sea-series-vintage-watercolor-landscaping-pet-tape
02:20 Wrong , I have a black alstar and the clip is black
Ah yeah forgot about that one, sorry! I stand corrected 😊
Hi, I just discovered your channel and I really like the vibes here. I will probably now binge your whole channel lol. Also happy to see a fellow GW2 player! 💪💪
Thank you for the kind comment! And so nice to see a fellow GW2 player, yay 😄
Last year, I came across your 2024 video and became inspired to decorate my own Weeks. It ended up being the cutest planner ever!! Thank you so much for providing us with inspiration. Your 2025 design is really cute and cozy. 🧡🐱
Ahh I'm so glad to hear it inspired you to decorate your own Weeks! 😊
Subbed. Refreshing to see a guy do this ^^
Thank you! Glad to have you here 😊
I love the idea of planners but I have never really taken to them, but I bought this one ONLY because of the black cat theme. Who knows, maybe I will actually use it too! 😻
It's truly irresistable, isn't it! I hope you find a use for it 😊
Lovely palette. The Writer's Blood looks gorgeous 😍 Thanks for the intro to that one!
I'm liking writing with that ink more than I expected! 😊
very nice theme 👻 My favourite of your inks is Ghost! I only have the teeny tiny inkvent bottle, I need to buy one like yours 🖤
Thank you! Haha I only had an even tinier 2ml sample and totally fell in love, so I'm happy that I have a bottle now! 😊
love the spooky colour palette! 🎃🍂 i tried smth similar for mine this month but just ended up with a sort of autumnal palette. really like the look of Ghost by Diamine!
An autumnal palette still sounds like a win to me 😄 Ghost is honestly one of my favourites, both looking at it on the page but also just how it writes.
Oooohh spooky! I am really loving all your theming and the color palette choice! Once you finished writing with the Lecoule I was wondering in my heart, how it compares to Profit Jr. And then you said that on the screen! You can read my mind! XD To answer the question - I don't do any theming myself, and just ink whatever I feel like inking! Although I notice that I gravitate towards darker colors now that the temperature is getting cooler. With some sprinkles of lighter colors sometimes :D Have a nice October writing sessions!
I'm actually looking forward to doing just that next month - inking whatever I feel like inking! A theme helps me when I'm a little uninspired but now I have a whole list of combinations that I just want to try next month. Thank you for watching! 😊
I like the Spooky Choices! That's a really fun theme! I actually have all of my pens inked up pretty much all of the time, usually with the same inks though I rarely use those inks and then I get overwhelmed 🤣. But specifically for October I decided to use more of my Lamy AL-Star Tourmaline with the Tourmaline Ink, and the new Sailor Manyo 3 in Persimmon with the Yu-yake color. I did also ink my Twsbi Eco with the FWP Fluttering Heart Ink--and that pen really writes weird for me, so I don't know if playing around with the tines will fix it or what, but the ink no matter which type of ink it is, it seems to thin out after a little while in that pen, and doesn't give that full vibrancy that I would like. I'm curious--what do you use all of these inks for? Do you have some that are exclusively used for your headers/ dates/ etc? or do you also write pages in those colors as well?
Oooh I've seen the new Manyo 3 in Persimmon online and it looks soooo good! Definitely my favourite from the set. It sounds interesting what's happening with your TWSBI. Mine always does a really good job of keeping the ink nice and vibrant. Hopefully you can fix it, somehow! I actually use all the pens I ink up for journalling, which is also why I tend to only have fine or extra fine nibs (so I can use them on a 3,5mm grid). I tend to stick to one or two colours per double page spread, so that it doesn't look to overwhelming. But maybe I should try inking something up with just headers/dates in mind, that might be fun!
@@ruonpaper Ohhh yeah the Persimmon is one of my favorites--that color combination is stunning. Regarding the TWSBI, I'm going to try your method and maybe to wear it in a bit, but it might be the only pen I get from them because the experience hasn't been phenomenal with their pens. That's great to know about the colors and limiting them to the spreads, thank you for that! I'll give that a try, because right now it's a bit all over the place haha. :)
Oooooh LOVE all of these! I especially love the look of that Jinhao 82! where did you find that color? I tried to stick to a Halloween/October theme but then it quickly went off the rails when I got some new inks and inked up pens that have no October feels. oh well.
Thank you! I got the Jinhao 82 from this AliExpress listing: aliexpress.com/item/1005005736954489.html . It's the one called 'deepsea green' 😊
I like your spooky choices! What a fun theme. ❤ I actually enjoy the carousels because they’re cheap enough to toss in a bag and not worry if it will get scratched or damaged or not. It gets my FP fix on the go. However, the weight is VERY light, too and I don’t prefer it.
Thank you! And that's indeed a nice use for the carousels. I also like that the cap stays in place very well, so I wouldn't be worried about it coming off even though it's a snap cap.
Really love your spooky palette. 😊 I‘m not going to try to explain my concept in detail… let‘s just say I have all my pens inked up at all times… at least the ones I love. And since that means I have loads of inks and colors in use at all times as well, I have chosen one color per week for the past couple of years. This week it‘s red inks and the respective pens they‘re in. Next weeks it‘s dark blue inks. That being said, I love using seasonal colors… so at the moment it‘s darker, moodier, autumnal colors, from the end of November onwards it will be Christmas colors. In summer I used a lot of turquoise and lighter blues, in spring I love light greens and pinks… like everyone else, I guess… just one color per week and no mixing - at least in my planners. In my journals, I use whatever pen/color I like. 😊
Ooh that sounds like a nice system! Picking one colour and still getting to enjoy various pens and inks, and therefore being able to keep a lot of pens inked up without getting too overwhelmed by choice - sounds like a win/win situation to me!
the layout of this planner is exactly what I’m looking for! unfortunately it seems like they’re sold out everywhere now 😅 where did you get it?
I hope you can still get it somewhere! I got mine from MISC in Amsterdam: misc-store.com/products/midori-2025-diary-book-cat-beige. Seems like they still have it at this moment, but it may not be a viable option depending on where you live.
I love this. Very unique. So cute . Thank you for taking the time to share .
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it 😊
Can you tell us which brand is the cat stickers (for the 2025 cover) from and where to get them? Thanks
It's a Japanese brand called Chocotto. I don't know where and if they are still available - I got them on a trip to Japan like 7 years ago 🙈 Although I'm sure they'll have similar designs still!
adorable
highlighters brand? sooo pretty
They're Tombow Dual Brush markers! I've linked the specific colours in the description :)
I love that sticker sheet with the boy with the guitar! Where did you get it from? ❤❤
I got it from AliExpress: nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006870414112.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.4.1dbc79d2MIGFuj&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld
I have literally been thinking about your 2024 hobonichi weeks decorating video since i saw it last year!! I could never find it again!!! Im so glad you posted again!!!
Aah that's so nice to hear! Thank you 😊
Please do decorating the pages too 😅 Love your style ❤
Definitely! Just trying to hold off a little longer because otherwise I'm afraid I won't enjoy my current planner anymore and just want to move into next year's already 🤣
I find your voice to be so soothing
Glad to hear that! 🫶 I hate hearing my voice on video but I think most people have that - it's just so different from the way it sounds in my head 🤣
Watching this was like watching a thriller. I was team fox, until you brought the cat stickers out. And true, they worked well because they had no border. I don't know why I found those decapitated cat heads so morbid. So even tough this not my planner, I'm happy you didn't use them on the cover. But maybe, if you loose a sticker you could replace it with a head. To represent those fallen in action.
Hahaha, I love this comment so much 💛 And I will keep your idea in mind for if/when one of the stickers comes off 🤣
Love it ❤ the cat face inside besides the word mega is my favorite thing
Thank you! Haha yes, that sticker just fits too well there
So cute, Ru! Love how that turned out! LOL, we have the same (in)decision making process!
Glad to hear I'm not the only one 🤣 Thank you for watching!
I have watched countless of UA-cam videos on how to make better use of the space in my planner/journal, when I came across this gem of a video. Thank you for your many ideas, especially the “Word of the Day”. Also I am terrible at drawing but I going to try your doodling suggestion. Nice to have come across your channel. I am now a happy subscriber. Wishing you well😃
Thank you for the kind comment, I'm glad to hear the video gave you some ideas! 😊
Very cute
Love your two Weeks, especially the light gray with the light gray cats - Beautiful! Also, I don’t care for the plastic covers either, although I still use them 😬
Thank you! Yeah, the clear covers are still very functional and they do a great job protecting your planner
So cute 😊! I have 2 black cats 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛🥰!
it turned out so cute!!
LOVE your new sticker design for 2025, I hope they hold without the clear cover for you! I actually don't mind the clear cover on my Weeks, but I always choose very pale colours and they get disastrously dirty if I don't cover them because I am a wreck between coffee and permanent fountain pen ink, lol. You inspired me to sticker my Weeks Mega too! I stickered a few acetate sheets that I cut out to Weeks size, and I slip in behind the Weeks clear cover. That way I can swap them out pretty easily when I get bored :)
Aah I feel you, I have 1 white canvas cover and of course that's the one I had to spill a drop of magenta ink on 🫠 I love the idea of being able to swap the stickered sheets out!
I love it😍 need to do it one year! It’s so great!
😍❤
So cute!!
It looks great! Those stickers are so cute.
Thank you. I was surprised at how much I like Pelikan Aventurine, currently my favorite.
I think I need to try that one at some point, as the swatches I see online are wildly different!
Good information. Subscribed
Thank you! Glad to have you here 😊
I love everything about this planner, so cute. Thank you for sharing!
Lovely haul!
That cat cover on cover is amazing! The stickers were a great idea ✨
Thank you! 😊
Wow amazing design- possibly my favorite of these videos I've seen. I appreciate how you use your own drawings too. Informative but also personal/love the reflections!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! Glad you liked it 😊
