Shop Sunny Stoic Studio

by the way...

COD (cash-on-delivery) is now available on our website, care of . 🤍

We have to use their plastic mailers though, so we hope you can reuse it or send it to a recycling center near you. 🌿

While we won't be able to personally join 's field trip to Pampanga, we're happy our stationery will be present for us. 💞

It will be a smaller setup this time with fewer products, but we hope they find a new home with the wonderful people up north. 🌷

Don't worry about others disliking you; that's their issue to deal with. Just focus on being kind and respectful in your actions and words. And live in a way that you can be proud of. 🌞

—my definition of 🌼

It's truly a safe space to create, to ask, to befriend people, and to be budol-ed? (no one will judge your haul 😆)

This sticker will be available at Journal Tambay TOMORROW @ Nook CoWorking Studio ✨

I made this artwork years ago as a protest against the Anti-Terror Law. I can't tell if our country's state has improved or has gotten worse since then.

But as citizens, we have to continue to call out violations to our rights.

As artists, we have to continue to create without fear and exercise our freedom.

As human beings, we have to respect and support one another.

I hope one day we can truly say we are independent from opression in this country. Until then, let's do what we can to uphold justice, freedom, and self-expression. 🌈

Last week's spread 🩵

It feels like there are countless mountains ahead of me. Like after conquering one, several more emerge. 🥲

So I made a colorful sketch and "prettified my problems." Now they're more exciting to tackle. 😆✨

If you're in a similar situation, hugs to you! Let's move forward together and remind ourselves that this (phase) too shall pass. 🫂

Also, it really helps to talk to someone (maybe a trusted friend or a therapist). And please allow yourself to cry, to complain, to break down, to feel all the feelings, to indulge, to slack off, to ease up, to have fun, to do whatever you need to do to keep going. 🌼

NOTE: Not promoting toxic positivity by prettifying problems; this is more like art therapy really 😌

One way I journal is by laying out ephemera together. This spread features packaging wrappers, stickers, and cards from a local haul. It's a relaxing way for me to practice composition; a fun way to remember my purchases; and a great way to prevent these materials from going to waste.

Would love to discover more journaling styles at the 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐲 on 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟎! Swipe for details →

See you there! ♡

Who doesn't love a relatable meme? 😆 Here are some to lighten up your Monday. 😁

Happy Women's Day! 🧡

I'm so blessed to be part of the paper community where people don't compete with each other, and instead uplift and empower one another.

Even though we're all small businesses, there's no gatekeeping and rivalry. Everyone is looking out for each other and one person's win is everyone's win. 🌟

Especially grateful for my fellow women creatives (tagged some above ♡) who showed our brand support, gave us opportunities, and helped us when we were just starting out. Sunny Stoic Studio wouldn't be here without you. 🥹🌼

Show your small biz sisters some love and tag them in the comments so we can support them 🥰

💃

Shops are open again! 📣

And we have new, smaller journal prompt prints in more compact sizes that can fit inside your B6 and even Hobonichi Weeks journals. 🙌

You may purchase from our Shopee store until the end of the month. You may also shop from our website. ☺️ Links are in our bio 💛

Hello again! 👋

I missed you!

First of all, I would like to apologize for closing our shops for more than two months without notice and for being inactive here.

I recently entered a new chapter in my life (I got married! 👰‍♀️) and as I focused my time and energy on relationships, health, and navigating this new phase, Sunny Stoic Studio took a back seat.

But we're back now! Shops will reopen next monday, March 4. 💛

Yes. That still includes Shopee.

I am aware that a lot of small business owners are leaving shopee due to the new bir registration requirement. That will also be the case for our studio as the requirements are too much work and are not economical for us right now. 😔

We will keep our Shopee store open until the end of March. And for our loyal customers there, we will have a closing sale before we finally leave the platform.

Thank you so much for patiently waiting for our return 🙏🏻 and for reading this long post 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Happy New Year! 🧡✨

And Happy Day 1 of journaling/planning 🥳

Here are more questions to ask yourself and help you set intentions, define goals, and embrace opportunities. 🌼

Lezgrow, 2024 🌱

Some questions to ponder on as we say goodbye to 2023. Time to reflect on what has been and look towards what's to come. 🧡

Long time no post✌🏻

and that's okay. 😌 The holiday season always gets crazy but I hope you find pockets of peace to decompress and reflect.

Have you also been looking back on your year now that it's almost ending? I have and it's been one big event after another right from the get-go!

So this line kind of sums up my 2023:

"We suffer more often in imagination than reality."

Ever since I saw this quote from Seneca a few years back, I tried to remind myself daily that my fears are oftentimes baseless. But it's during this year that I was actually able to apply it.

From seemingly small things like mustering the courage to join cons/events to facing MAJOR life changes head on, I fought off anxieties
by constantly telling myself that things aren't as bad as my mind makes them out to be.

And I was proven over and over again that sometimes, they even turn out to be better! ✨

I found myself giving up on certain experiences because I feared that they may be too much for me and they're not worth the risk of getting hurt and traumatized.

But now, I'm slowly finding the courage to be open to more adventures. 🌱

So yeah, this year has been equally challenging and fulfilling. There's been so much loss but also so much growth.

I'm looking forward to more courageous yesses and decisive noes next year. Looking forward to more opportunities to fail, succeed, and learn. 🌼 Also, looking forward to more opportunities to rest and recharge. 😅🙏🏻

I hope 2023 has been kind to you. May we acknowledge our growth and appreciate our blessings. 💛

With so many new things to tackle and changes to adapt to, having a foolproof morning routine gave me the structure that I needed.

As soon as I wake up I feed the cats, wash my face, do five minutes of stretching, have a quick breakfast, and write in my guided journal.

I've been doing this for almost 3 weeks now and it really helped me settle into a new space and navigate this new phase of my life.

I'm really happy I got to restock the guided journal because right now, it's the only kind of journaling I'm able to do.

So if you're like me and you need something quick and easy to set the tone for your day or maybe you want to build a journaling habit you can stick to, try our Sunny & Stoic Guided Journal. ✨🌞🌛

What about you, how important are morning/night routines to you? 🌿

We turned two this month 🩵🩵🩵 (and we almost forgot 🥲🫣)

But wow, two years is no joke! Thank you for all of the love and support!! 🥹

2 also seems to be our lucky number because we gained two new partner stores and participated in two events this year✌🏻🌼

To show our gratitude, we're having a 20% off sale for 2 days 🤗

Sale starts this payday, Nov. 30 and ends Dec. 1. Take this chance to do some Christmas shopping! We'll be sure to include freebies!

Thank you so much again for your trust and for making our second year bright and colorful 💖✨

See you tomorrow at Whitespace Manila for our final event this year.

So excited to celebrate the joy of planning / memory-keeping with fellow journaling enthusiasts. 🥰

Thank you to for organizing! 🫶🏻

See you this Saturday at PlannerCon 🌼

We're at table 48, super near the entrance and we're sharing the booth with 💖

"You will hear many people saying: 'When I am fifty I shall retire into leisure; when I am sixty I shall give up public duties.' And what guarantee do you have of a longer life? Who will allow your course to proceed as you arrange it?

How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end! How stupid to forget our mortality, and put off sensible plans to our fiftieth and sixtieth years, aiming to begin life from a point at which few have arrived!"

— Seneca, On the Shortness of Life

✦✦✦

This is your sign to take that leap, to book that trip, to work on that passion, to live life on your own terms.

Memento Mori. Remember that you will die. Let's live while we can. 🌞
