I love your cover page. I love how aesthetically pleasing, & functional your layouts are. My favorite spreads/pages from your set-up are the cover page, habit tracker with the fan & the flowers, love the mood tracker, loving the Asian Excellence spread, & the weekly pages. For the Asian Excellence spreads I would recommend the Ip Man movies, which are Ip Man (2008), Ip Man 2 (2010), Ip Man 3 (2015), Master Z: Ip Man Legacy (2018), & Ip Man 4: The Finale (2019), & the Rurouni Kenshin movies & through this viewing order, we'll get a better understanding of why The Final's villain, Enishi Yukishiro, hates Kenshin so much Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning (2021), Rurouni Kenshin Origins (2012), Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno (2014), Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends (2014), & Rurouni Kenshin: The Final (2021) . Thank you for sharing your creativity, & video. I hope you will be able to watch my May bullet journal video on my channel. 😊

Sweetie, I’m so sorry you’ve been sick. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Maybe you’ve already figured this out for yourself. If not, I recommend getting several fans for your bathroom and makeup areas. Maybe even the kitchen 😅. For the bathroom, I like to have a pretty fan on the counter to grab and fan my face after I’ve spritzed it with a spray mist. And if you ever use hairspray, a fan is handy to quickly set the hairspray. Lastly, I love having a fan at my makeup vanity. It helps dry mascara quickly, speed up any other liquid-type makeups, and it’s especially helpful if you use a makeup setting spray or spray sunscreen or spray tan. Fans are the greatest-both the windy-fanny type and the loving Little Doodles type❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I'm really hoping that your hard drives do get handed in and returned to you. I'm reading To All The Boys I've Loved Before series, by Jenny Han, which as well as being a great YA romance is also great for describing the Korean experience. Also Lara Jean loves stationery and scrapbooking in the books. Of course Turning Red and Domee Shi too. I got so emotional watching it thinking about what it must mean for you, Lots of Love, and I hope May turns out better for you than April xxx

Hello Amanda. First got to say this months theme is really cute and i loved it💕❤️. Secondly I would like to tell you about this thing i do in my bullet journal. So i have tried journaling before but i later figured out that it is not working for me 🥲. So instead of journaling everyday i have started journaling every month. And I've been loving it. What i do is either write about a day in that month that was special and/or something special happened that day. If that month had no special days then i write a lil summery of the month. I call them monthly story or *months name* story. I hope you try this and if you do hope you enjoy it as much as i do 🥰. Thank you!!! Leaf 🍀

There are so many books by Asian writers being translated now, it's so exciting. Kyung-Sook Shin's older novel, Violets, just came out. And I'm excited to read Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park. There are Southeast Asian writers that are also being translated though maybe not as widely. Bangkok Wakes To Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad is strange but in a good way, and Cinnamon Gardens by Shyam Selvadurai is a quiet novel about colonialism and social pressure. And that's not even mentioning the continued popularity of Japanese writers, who get translated regularly but are getting more publicity and promotion than ever before. There's so much out there, and there's more coming. I hope that we get to see the translated fiction market just keep growing and expanding to include many more countries and authors! I went on too long, but I love talking about translated fiction!
