Back to School

It's that time of the year again! We are officially starting school tomorrow here in the Philippines. Some actually don't find school very fun and exciting but I do enjoy it a lot. I don't know with you guys but I love going back to school shopping so much. That "I really need that" and "Oh my goodness! That is so cute I need to buy that" feeling. Well, some you don't actually need, you just can't help yourself so you buy it anyway. So here are some things that I bought to make this school year a little better. I'll try to leave some links if I can manage to find these products online but some items can just be found in your local stores.

School shoes are one of my favorite things to buy. Especially when there are a lot of options to choose from. I bought my school shoes from Payless this year. It is a Lower East Side brand. Good quality and good price as well. We can never forget our gym shoes. So my gym shoes are from Nike and it is the Nike Free 5.0 which I bought last summer. Very comfortable and lightweight gym shoes.

So I got quite bag obsessed. I bought 4 bags as you can see in the picture above when we were travelling in Cebu and Davao. My main school back pack is from Herschel and it is a Heritage model. I love the denim fabric and love the fact that it has polka dots. It also has a laptop sleeve which is a plus point for me because I usually need to bring my laptop to school. Another bag that I bought is for my exams or those days when we just have a small school event. I bought it from Terranova and it was literally love at first sight because I love anything black and white. Another bag that I bought is a sackpack from Nike which I seriously love because again, it's black and white. Very handy for school practices on the weekends or just as a gym bag when we have our Physical Education class. Another bag that I bought is from Case Logic which is a very good quality laptop bag for a 13" laptop. Well there are other sizes and colors to choose from but just decided to go with black.

These are the notebooks that I bought. I always buy Blue Feather notebooks because it is very good quality. Also bought a notebook from Spring Leaf which is the "Enjoy life and Travel" one for my homeroom and to scribble some stuff. A Steno Notebook is actually quite handy and I bought a Cattleya one. Blue Feather, Spring Leaf, and Cattleya are on the pricey side but since it's good quality, it's worth it. Also bought bond papers in short and long and as well as a construction paper for arts and crafts. Also bought the basic papers that you will need for school for quizzes, activities, etc.

These are ballpens, pencils, color pencils, pentel pens, highlighter, erasers, whiteout, and sharpener that I bought. Ballpens are from Superbwriter and Frixion Pens. Frixion pens are quite handy. Just don't use it in exams and important documents. You'll surely regret it. Pencils that I bought are Mongol 2 because it is what the school usually requires. Color Pencils are from the Secret Garden coloring book set. Pentel Pens are just basic Lion City pens because I don't actually need really good quality ones. Highlighter is from Stabilo. Erasers are both from Maped. Liquid whiteout is from Dong-A. I prefer liquid ones than the tape ones because it lasts longer. My cute little sharpener is from Mongol.

These are just some random stuff that I need and you might need as well. Laptop is from Apple and it is a 13" MacBook Pro. Two foldable envelopes which are actually better than the usual thin ones that easily get ripped. They are by a brand called Phoenix. Clear envelope by Seagull which I will use to place in my papers so that it won't be crumpled. Clear book is by Go-Win and it has 40 pockets which is really handy because important papers and other things that you need to submit can just be placed in it so that it would look presentable once you pass it. Pencil case doesn't actually have a brand but it is so cute. Page markers are both from Post-it. Scissors are from Scotch. Cutter and stapler are from Maped. USB is from SanDisk. Scientific Calculator is from Casio. Earphones are from Samsung. Glue Stick is from Dong-A. I actually have no idea where my book strap, padlock, and name tag is from but you'll definitely need those stuff.

P.S. To the people who think book straps are weird, it is in fact a life saver.

And last but not least, you will definitely need a hygiene kit. To keep you fresh all day long at school. Comb is from Goody, powder from Johnson's, lip balm from Nivea, hair cuticle coat from Vitress, toothpaste from Colgate, and my toothbrush is from a hotel that we stayed in. So yeah, you can actually add more in your hygiene kit but those are just what I use.

I'll surely be busy as this school year starts again. Considering it is my last year in Junior High School so maybe I'll have lesser blog posts but I'll try my best to post as many as I can. Hope you enjoy your school year!
