What's on my Phone? (Samsung Galaxy Note 3)

Finally the video is up! This is the first What's on my Phone video for my new phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Well technically, this is not my new phone anymore, I got it on December 1st ( just one day before my birthday) so it's almost 4 months already. I love this phone so much! It has a very big screen, which is perfect to watch movies and YouTube videos, which is what I do every single day! I know it is not a very practical phone because of how big it is, to be honest, it was hard for me at first, but after a few days I got really used to it and I really like it.
Information about my phone:
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005
Android Version: 4.4.2
GB: 32 GB
I'm using Dodol Launcher as my default home screen launcher instead of Touch-wiz launcher that Samsung phones came with.
I changed my icons using 3 different apps: Icoron Icon Changer, CocoPPa, and Line Deco
I got my wallpapers from Pinterest, and I will tweet a photo of them onto my Twitter for you guys.
Below are the icons of the apps that I used to change my icons.
For my Kakao talk theme I'm using a theme called Fashionitem.spring in an app called Phone theme shop.
Every apps that I mentioned in the video is free to download on Play Store.

I seriously have to have my phone everywhere I go, I can't leave the house without my phone basically :) I love to listen to music and go on social medias on my phone and I always have to have it customized according to my liking. I personally think that a phone is a necessity for our modern day life, you use your phone to get socialize, you use it in your business etc. So it always have to be customized to fit you right?
Anyways I have a lot of fun making my phone completely me and if you want a tutorial on how did I customized my phone to look like that in the video, be sure to let me know through my social medias and of course you can always have a chat with me in my Kik and Twitter :)

Editing a New Video and BIG ANNOUNCEMENTs!

 Hello bloggers! *Waving ferociously* First of all, deeply apologize for lack of videos, blog posts and Twitter posts, I've been really busy catching up with all my work at school that I'm too stressed out to setup my camera and film videos or just simply checking out my blog. I hope you guys understand because I do have a very busy studying schedule, and I also have extra classes so that really hooks me up to focusing specifically on school. However I'm on Spring Break right now and I have time to share with you guys some new video ideas and an announcement.
So today I managed to setup my camera and film a What's on my Phone video. And this time, I'm actually doing it for my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Yes, I did upgraded from my Samsung Galaxy S4 to a black Samsung Galaxy Note 3. If you guys want to know why exactly did I upgrade my phone, feel free to message me on my blog, twitter or kik. Oh by the way, that brings us to the new topic because due to the fact that I switched to a new phone, I completely forgot what my username and password for Kik is. You guys can call me stupid, you guys can call me a forgetful person or whatever you want to call me. Usually what I do with my usernames and passwords is that I would type them down on a document and save that in my S Memo, or since I'm using a Note, an S Note file, and would use a app locker to lock that. However I'm completely forget about my Kik account and did not record that down. So I have to use my personal Kik which I will link down in the end of this blog post as well as changing them in all of my videos. However, the rest of my social media is still the same.
Oh and also I've created an Instagram account. I know that I've mentioned in one of my videos that I didn't use my Instagram account that much. But, I did use Instagram now because my friends really got me hooked up on it and I like to follow several of my favorite YouTubers and keep in touch with them so I decided to create an Instagram account for my YouTube channel. I have one private account that I only use for friends and family, but I also have an Instagram account for YouTube. So I will link that down below and as well as my new upcoming video! I will try to finish editing the video by tonight so that it would be up by morning.
In the video, the camera quality might not be as good as my last what's on my phone video. The reason for that is because the Galaxy S3 and S5 that I usually would use to film is not really working.  The S3 is my brother's old phone while the S5 is my dad's old phone so I usually would use them to film but they doesn't seem to work so I used my Galaxy Note 8.0 to film, the quality is not that great but that is the only camera that I have on hand so I'm going to apologize in advance.
Also, thank you so much for 188 subscribers! You guys do mean a world to me and I really appreciate that you would spend time watching my videos and leaving comments. I love you guys and stay tune for my next video.
Okay I know that's a lot of things that we need to go over but I'm going to end this blog post right now, trust me, since my fingers are getting tired of all the typing too ^_^ anyway bye!

What my Week looks like/ Planner Supplies

        What a busy week! This week I have a lot of homework and projects that I need to work on and everything is just driving me crazy! Well, literally, I would be really stressed out if I don't have everything recorded in my student planner. As you can see, the weekly view in my planner is all full! I start to put sticky notes all over the place for my to-do lists and things that I need to do before & after school. Whew!

         You guys have probably seen my last post about my student planner, I've been searching all over my local stationery stores for cute supplies for my planner. I guess you guys can say that I'm a planner nerd since I can sit in my chair all day decorating my planner. I write down everything that I need to do like my homeworks, projects, to-do things, reading log, important dates, all those stuffs! I really don't know what to do if I don't have my planner, it's that serious!

Yep, that's a lot of things. I managed to visit my local stationery store on Tuesday and got some supplies and start decorating! I also made some planner-related accessory from materials around the house. Wanna see? Let's get started!

I got these SUPER PRETTY washi tape from that same store I just talked about. They're super cute and unique, I love how when it's glossy and sparkly like there's actual glitter or sequins inside! I LOVE LOVE LOVE how that looks on my planner! I bought 22 rolls of washi tape all together but it only costs me $4! It's actually 80,000 VND total in Vietnamese currency but $4 for 22 rolls of washi tape is an amazing deal!

This is my very own dashboard. You might ask what is dashboard, they're very cute laminated card stock paper that use to hold your sticky notes and note flags. I always forgot to bring my sticky notes and note flags because I always leave them on a container on my desk so I need to find a way to put them all together and always carry them with me. I was inspired by Belinda Selene on YouTube, she's an amazing amazing YouTuber she made awesome videos on planner supplies and how to organize and decorate your planner. She inspires me a lot and I just love her work, it's amazing! Definitely check out Belinda Selene's channel, I'll have the link down below and be sure to stop by and say that Stephanie Han brought you there!

Close up of the dashboard:

I'm pretty happy if it, I'm actually searching for some cute sticky notes for my planner so I'm going to add them on here if I found some.

Okay so I know this is clearly NOT my planner but I did created this important events booklet, this is basically where I write down when my projects are due and what tests and quizzes that are coming up. It's really simple to make by stapling line papers together and wrap a piece of white paper on the outside and wrote the word "Important Events" on the outside. I love how that looks like.
  Now the reason that I made this is because in my planner where you can write down important dates is running out of space since I have to write down a lot of things so  I need to find a way to keep track of important dates. So I finally came up with making a booklet! It takes less than 15 minutes to do so you can imagine how simple and easy it is to make.

Here's my reading log section where I keep track of what I read. I'm currently reading the book " The Dead Man in Indian Creek" by Mary Downing Hahn and I really enjoy the book. If you love ghost stories, I definitely recommend Mary Downing Hahn's books, they're terrific, not gonna lie I read almost all of Mary Downing Hahn's ghost stories!

That's all guys, I hope I didn't make you guys feel bored. I was so happy that tomorrow is Saturday, no school, yes! Since I've been so busy I just wanted 2 days off. Well, I'll see you guys in my next posts. Love ya!

My Student Planner! How I Organize and Decorate It!

Hello everyone! I apologized for being gone for so long. I have lots of homework and projects that I need to complete so basically the only time that I'm free is on weekends now ( I missed summer so much!). But anyway getting to the main purpose of this post. Most of you guys might probably know that I'm back in school now. So you guys know, in class we always have to take notes and do alot of assignments, so you need to write them down in one place so that you can make sure that you need to complete that before next class. A great way to do is to fill them in a planner! You can get them at most stationery stores. The way that I did it is to make the planner pages really colorful and eye-catching because it motivates you to go back and fill in your assignments and anything like that.

Plus I was inspired by alot of YouTubers about decorating your planner, so as soon as I got my school planner, I went straight to decorating and fill out everything I need for my studying career.

     I'm just going to show you the photos of my planner, since I haven't got time to set-up the station to actually film the video, but I'll probably going to film one soon. Okay, so now I'm going to show you my planner!

Here's my student planner! I actually got this planner for free from my school! My school designed it and distribute it for free for every students in the campus! This planner in my opinion is really coonvient and cute because they have artworks that some students did last year as dividers for every single month! Inside the planner was really well made, they have places to write your homework, and a miniature reading log on the back as well as 3 pages for you to write important dates.

      I mean even the cover of the planner looks cute and attractive! I love the school plus and the globe design!

                                          NOW LET'S GET ON TO WHAT'S INSIDE! 

Like I said before, I did made some additional touches to my planner. The original paper design is cute but I think that we could make it extra adorable by simply color-coordinate it with highlighters, markers, sticky notes and pens.

Overall view of the decorated ( and filled out) page  in my planner:

As you can see, I have ALOT of things to do, and everytime I finished a task, I use a marker or a pen to check them off so that I know they're completed. I am so relief that I got this planner because this year I got so much work to do, and having to memorize everything that I need to do everyday is a nightmare for me. Seriously I would go crazy without my planner. At school we're also required to use this planner everyday in order to keep us organize.

I also made this super cute heart-shape paper clip for my planner! I learned how to make these paper clips from a video on YouTube ( Link will be down below), and I am so happy with the result! I love how cute that looks on my planner!

I'm so excited to decorate my planner that I actually decorated the page for next week! I also add in little notes to remind me of things that I need to do.

Here are all the supplies that I used to decorate my planner. You guys might probably have seen the highlighter and pens and the small tab things from my Back to School Supplies. The other supplies are bought at the same place where I bought  my school supplies.

The way I like to decorate it is to use the highlighter is to highlight the subjects that I've written and then stick the sticky notes on and write my reminders for that day. I use the paper clip as a bookmark and a tool to hold several small notes that I've written separately on notebook paper and things like that.

That's basically how I decorate and organize my planner. I'll probably do a video about this up on my channel, but for now if you have any questions please feel free to leave comments, and I'll see you guys next time, bye!

Hi my loves! It's been a while now that I haven't post anything ( so sorry!), but I'm FINALLY decided to sit down and film a video and make a blog post for you guys! So if you read  the title, you will surely know it's a back to school supplies haul! I ABSOLUTELY love back to school supplies since they makes me happy and reminding me that a new school year is starting and it just makes me really excited.

Here are all the things that I bought:

-2 CAMPAP Notebooks ( 3 subjects and 4 subjects)

-2 black pens
-3 highlighters ( Purple, orange and yellow)
-1 scissor
-1 protractor
-1 ruler

Yes, I bought alot of stuffs. I'm not sure about how many subjects that I'm going to study this year since the way my school works is that we didn't receive the schedule until first day of school, so I just bought the notebooks based on the subjects that I studied last year.

The total price of all the supplies together is quite expensive in VND, 561,000 VND, which I'm not sure how much it will cost in USD but I think it's about $25, but once again I'm not sure.

New Wallet Again ??? I got it for 50% Off!

Hey guys!. I haven't post anything for 5 days ( I think) but I'm back! So today I have another wallet post! I know that I got the small baby pink one ( see my last post), but I managed to get a visit to the mall once AGAIN and this time, I wanted to find a new purse, but instead, I came upon a wallet that I am super in love with ever since I first laid my eyes on it.

So here's the story, I got a message from my best friend Sophia and she said that the mall that we usually go to ( Parkson shopping mall) is having a 50% promotion sale! So I was like jumping up and down and decided to visit the mall! So as I was walking through the purse and wallet section in the mall with Sophia, I came upon thousands of purses and wallets design. I didn't really found any purses that I really like, plus, even though they're half off, they're still super expensive, but then I decided to go to the wallet section to see any of them that I like, and as I went over a section called " Gal, be my love", I saw a really really, gorgeous wallet that I must have! So here it is:

I'm IN LOVE with this wallet guys! I was so happy when I finally bought it! As you can see, it has alot of details on it, like goldfish, big Swarovski rhinestones, jewels, and diamonds, it's seriously the wallet of my dreams, I had been looking for a wallet like this for so long!

 It came really well package in this super cute box, which is just perfect if you're going to give it to someone as a gift, and do you notice the design on the box, C-U-T-E! I love the design on the box, it looks so girly and elegant!

When you first got the wallet it was really neatly and tightly wrap in the paper inside the box, which is so freaking cute, it even have the design that the box has but instead of baby pink, the floral/leaf design is hot pink. I really love the paper that  I actually don't want to ruin it! If you look closely the inside of the lid also have  the cute design that matches with the wrapping paper.

I haven't mention that the wallet is turquoise color! It also have black, white and pink ones but I din't choose them is because they didn't really fit me, plus it doesn't really go with the overall theme ( since the theme is goldfish underwater, the wallet color is somehow have to imitate the water, it's better that way), so I decided to choose this one. I got for $25, which is 500,000 VND, and I got it for half off!  It was priced at $50 ( which is 1,000,000 VND)  getting this beautiful wallet for $25 was a great deal!                                                           

Here's how big the wallet is, fortunately it can still fit my purse since I am a little bit concern that it won't going to fit in, but hopefully it did. You guys might probably notice that it also came with a matching turquoise strap in order for you to carry it easier.

Overall, I am very happy with what I got and can't wait to use it in public.  I hope you guys like it as well!

I got a new Pink Wallet!!

Hey all! So just an half an hour ago ( right now it's 8:30)I was at a shopping mall in center city with my aunt, grandma and my cousins. So we decided to stop at Accessorize, which is the store where they sells girly accessories that I am absolutely in love with.
 
So after 15 minutes of searching through dozens of wallets and purses on the display rack, I finally came upon the wallet that I really really like and I must have it, so here it is:

 Look at it guys, isn't it CUTE? The color of the purse as well as the strap that came with it is baby pink. I really like the color, it reminds me of a cute, simple, elegant princess wallet. When you look at it from far away it looks like a clutch, but it's not. I really wish I can find a purple one since you guys know, I love purple, but I still really like this wallet because of the color, it's just so adorable.

 As you can see the inside of the wallet, it's also baby pink as well, and the texture is really smooth and soft. I don't think it's waterproof however, but I didn't really mind since I would probably would always put it in my purse. There's two sections in this wallet, which can be use to hold cash or small items like keys or little makeup items. I decided that I would use this one especially for cash and coins since I have a separate bag to hold my keys and lip balms.

As you can see, the pearls are beaded together really nicely and I didn't really realize that the pearls are silver, I always thought that it's baby pink until I look at it closely. When you touch it, it feels really sturdy and really cool since you have the 3D pearls sticking out. I love the design and how the wallet looks.

I can't describe how happy I am, it's just so pretty, and I definitely going to use it whenever I go out, and it just look so elegant. The price is around $16 or more since in VND it's 320,000 VND so maybe it's $16, I'm not sure. It's worth the money since it's made out of a really high quality fabric.

Let me know your opinions on my brand new wallet!
