Eat (Grind), Sleep (Grind), Grind, Repeat: Isang Kritikal na Pagsusuri sa Bullet Journaling Trend

Una, ano ang bullet journal?

Isa itong personal na sistema ng pag-aayos na ginawa ni Ryder Carroll noong 2013. Ito ay mahihintulad sa isang planner, maliban na lang na ito ay personalized at walang limitasyon sa kung ano ang gustong gawin dito.

Para magsimula ng isang bullet journal, kinakailangan lamang ng kwaderno at panulat. Upang mas maunawaan paano iset-up ang bullet journal, maaaring pumunta sa https://bulletjournal.com/, ang opisyal na website na gawa ni Carroll. Maaari ring panoorin ang video (link sa baba) tungkol sa basics ng bullet journaling na ginawa ko noong nakaraang taon para sa isang proyekto sa Ingles.

Kasaysayang Makikita sa Bullet Journal: Kasalukuyang Kamalayan

Ang bullet journal (o bujo, sa maikling salita) ay nilikha noong 2013 at patuloy na lumalaki ang komunidad ng mga taong gumagamit nito hanggang ngayon (Carroll, n.d.). Napakatanyag ng bullet journaling hindi lamang sa mga kabataan kundi sa mga matatanda rin sapagkat nakatutulong ito sa pag-ayos ng daloy ng kanilang buhay. 

Ngunit bakit nga ba kailangang ayusin o i-organize ang buhay? Galing dito, mahihinuha natin na busy at mabilis ang takbo ng mundo natin ngayon. Ang pagsikat ng bullet journaling at iba pang productivity techniques ay katunayan ng lipunang hinihimok ng kapitalismo. Gusto ng kapitalismo na productive ang mga tao dahil mas episyente ito sa paggamit ng mga limitadong resources, na nagdudulot sa mas mataas na kita. Mataas ang dinedemenda ng kapitalismo kaya’t dumarami ang gawain ng mga tao at umabot ito sa punto na ang oras para sa pahinga ay kinakain na rin ng pagtatrabaho (Gregg, 2015). Ito ang dahilan kung bakit nais ng mga taong kumapit sa mga sistemang nagbibigay sa kanila ng kontrol sa sarili nilang buhay, katulad na nga ng bullet journaling (Babur, 2018).

Grind Culture

Ang bullet journaling ay tanyag sa mga social media gaya ng Tumblr, Instagram, at Youtube. Ang tumbalik nga eh, sapagkat isa sa mga layunin ng bullet journaling ay ang pagbibigay ng pahinga galing sa social media at teknolohiyang nakapalibot sa mundong ito na minsan ay nakasasakal na. Kahit ganun, patuloy pa rin ang pag-post ng mga tao sa kanilang mga maaayos at magagandang bullet journal spreads.

Maliban sa pagpapakita ng pangangailangan ng lipunan ng validation galing sa social media, pinapakita rin nito ang pagpapahalaga sa grind culture. Ang grind culture ay ang pag-iisip na dapat walang tigil ang trabaho at okupado dapat ang isang tao mula umaga hanggang gabi. Alinsunod nito ang ideya na kapag mas busy o abala ka, mas tagumpay ka sa buhay (Johnson, 2020; Smoak, 2020). Siyempre, may ibang mga tao na nagpo-post sa social media dahil ito ang kasiyahan nila, ngunit hindi maitatanggi na isang pagmamalaki ang pagkakaroon ng bullet journal na punong-puno ng mga gawain at kaganapan dahil ibig sabihin nito ay may patutunguhan sila sa buhay.

Konsumerismo

Ang isa pang ipinapakita ng bullet journaling trend ay ang kultura ng konsumerismo. Sa larawan sa itaas, makikita na bukod sa bullet journal spread ay mayroong highlighters sa gilid. Maaaring isinama ito para mas maging mukhang estetik ang larawan, ngunit mahahanap ang produktong ito sa iba pang mga post sa ibaba.

Sa katunayan, ang highlighter na ito ay ang isang tatak na nagngangalang Zebra Mildliners, at ito ay isa lamang sa napakaraming popular na produktong makikita sa mga bullet journal na post. Bagama’t walang patakaran sa paggawa ng bullet journal na kailangang gamitin ang mga produktong ito, laganap pa rin ito sa komunidad. Dahil dito, nagkakaroon ng pressure na bumili kahit hindi naman kinakailangan, at ito mismo ay repleksyon ng kulturang konsumerismo sa lipunan (Campos-Ferreira, 2021; Whitman, n.d.). Kahit hindi sinasadya, napapalaganap ang pag-iisip na kailangang bumili ng mga materyal na bagay upang maging kaakit-akit sa sarili at sa iba.

Worth it ba ang bullet journaling?

Bagama’t ang blog na ito ay itinatag ko noong 2019, nagsimula akong mag bullet journal noong 2015 pa lang. Noong una kong natuklasan ang sistemang ito, namangha ako sa ganda ng mga spreads kaya bilang isang batang mahilig lumikha, pinag-aralan ko ito. Nagsimula ang bullet journaling sa akin bilang isang outlet para sa creativity, ngunit tunay itong nakatulong sa aking maging mas organisado. Gayunpaman, minsan napapaisip ako kung sulit nga ba ang oras at mga taong ibinuhos ko rito. Oo, napadali nga nito ang pagtapos ko ng mga gawain, ngunit paano na ang ibang aspetong sinakripisyo ko? Gaya ng mga nabanggit ko sa pagsusuri, nadala rin ako noon sa grind culture at konsumerismo na pumapaligid sa bullet journaling. Naalala ko na kapag hindi ko natatapos lahat ng gawain sa to-do list ay unti-unti akong nagagalit sa sarili ko. Nahimaling din ako sa mga stationery, at tuwing pumupunta ako sa National Bookstore ay bumibili ako ng mga colored pens, brush pens, at iba pa na hindi ko naman na kailangan dahil sapat na ang koleksyon ko (siguro nakagastos na ako ng mahigit kumulang Php 10,000 sa kabuuan). 

Ngunit sa huli, masasabi ko naman na worth it ang pagtangkilik ko sa bullet journaling. Kahit may mga beses na hindi ito nakabubuti sa akin, sa tingin ko mas lamang pa rin ang pakinabang na nakuha ko rito. Natuto akong maging mas malikhain, maayos at responsable. Sobrang nakatulong din ang bullet journaling kapag nas-stress na ako sa dami ng gawain sa paaralan. Pagkalipas din ng panahon ay natutunan ko na ang halaga ko ay hindi nakabatay sa aking pagiging produktibo, at pinapayagan ko ang sarili ko na magpahinga habang hindi nanghihinayang sa “nasasayang” na oras. Hindi na rin ako gaanong nagpapadala sa pag impulse buy ng mga stationery dahil marunong na akong i-kontrol ang sarili ko. Hindi naman pala kasi bullet journaling ang ugat ng mga problema ko noon kundi ang sariling pag-iisip ko. Nawa’y balang araw ay magbago rin ang pag-iisip ng lipunan sa mga nakapapahamak na kaisipang pinapalaganap nito.

If you are outside India, I am practically begging you to reblog this

Last week India passed a blatantly anti-Muslim law that seeks to naturalise millions of immigrants, except if they are Muslims.

In August of this year, India revoked the autonomous status of the Kashmir region, putting a communication blackout on the state. Kashmir has entered the fifth month of no internet and heaviest militarisation of any region in the world.

India is a secular, socialist republic. This bill is anti-constitutional and against the principles on which the country was founded

Naturally, there have been protests across the country. At the forefront of the protests are students from India's public universities.

Police opened fire on peaceful protestors in Jamia Milia Islamia University in Delhi, and Aligarh Muslim University in Uttar Pradesh.

Ever since then, the ruling fascist Hindu nationalist political party, the BJP, has been doctoring videos and sending fake news all over the internet, discrediting protestors and labelling them as terrorists

India has already seen too much religious violence, please please signal boost this, call your representatives, make them aware, get them to make statements. The only thing India and its dictator Modi care about is its image abroad

some grade 10 Math notes that I need to review because I already forgot a lot of the content 😪

[studythunder]

ok, i just want to address this. i know i’ve been posting studyblr content again. i’ve also seen some people say that things seem to be going back to “normal.” i just want to say that NO, things are not going back to normal. and things may never go back to normal. i seriously hope that people keep up with the energy they had when these issues first went out. the fight is not over! the problem doesn’t go away just because it’s not trending anymore. and honestly, all these issues surfacing now actually just prove how messed up the system was even before. the only difference is that now, people are starting to be more aware. while this is good, there’s still more to reach out!

in fact, just this morning, news broke out about UP cebu students being arrested within the campus grounds. they were violently dispersed despite it being a peaceful protest. in addition to this, six jeepney drivers were detained after protesting three days ago. instead of supporting them and understanding their situation, they were put behind bars. high ranking officials who have done worse were given compassion, but ordinary citizens crying out for help were imprisoned, fined, or even killed. beyond these two, there are also many things happening in other parts of the world, and not just the philippines— in hong kong, USA, etc (please read about all of these issues here or here). support both local and global struggles!! injustices are happening every day. we must be aware, and be ready to do our part in fighting against them.

#JunkTerrorBill: On a Bill that impedes the right of the Filipino People

On May 29, the Philippine Congress approved the senate version of the the Terror Bill which posses as a major threat to freedom of speech, especially during this times when dissent in media platforms is becoming a trend for the modern-day Filipino.

(Credits to College Editors Guild of the Philippines, CEGP)

Now, you might think that this bill just happened to come around but the timing is all too convinient. The reason why dissent is rising among the masses is because the executive branch of the government has frankly done a piss poor job at handling the Pandemic. They have continued to keep us quarantined, with only those considered essential businesses allowed to remain for months. It is only now in June that they have allowed people to work as long as they keep at a skeletal system. The main problem comes down to the fact that the government has yet to implement mass testing and even contract tracing for the matter, making the quanratine lose all meaning in the first place. To add up to all this, the administration continues to accumulate debt to “fight the pandemic” but claim they do not have the budget for mass testing. 

And to make matters worse, the head of the administration decides to fight a virus the only way he’s been fighting things, with machismo and guns. There have been cases where the police overstepped their bounds under the banner of ‘keeping the quarantine safe’ wherein they broke into a private residential building and also a homeless shelter because these places allegedly did not follow quarantine protocols. There was also a case of a soldier killing a veteran having an episode despite the residents of the area shouting he had PTSD and to leave him be. We cannot also discount the rapid increase of the Extrajudicial Killings fueled by the executive’s drug war that pretty much ramped  up police brutality in the Philippines by quite a lot.

Now, this bill is giving them more power to by-pass the Judiciary which is the only thing keeping them in check. As per Rappler: “ the bill would allow the Anti-Terror Council (ATC), made up of top cabinet officials, to do functions otherwise reserved for courts, like ordering the arrests of people it has designated to be terrorists.” 

Here are some as cited by CEGP. Below are some of the sections of Bill 1083, aka Terror Bill, although it feels rather more approriate to be called Martial Law 2.0. Below are some of the questionable provisions in the bill.

These two provisions are quite questionable as their vagueness could allow tagging of dissenters as terrorists. The head of the executive branch is actually quite fond of using mixed words and blurring the lines between dissenters who only criticize in hopes of improvement of the system as opposed to terrorists who seek to destroy it. This only adds oil to the fire, really.

Here we see that included in the wiring tapping are those individuals accused solely upon mere suspicion that would allow the police to invade our privacy just because we criticized the government a little too much more than they like. Now, there have been restrictions here either like between lawyers and clients or doctors and patients but this still stands that this is an invation of privacy,

Now Sec. 29. Detention Without Judicial Warrant of Arrest that takes the cake out of them all. Persons again tagged as terrorists by the ATC under mere suspicion can be detained for up to 24 days without a warrant, which is the first line of defense you have against a police violating your human rights. Although, if you do look up the entire provision, included is a follow up action of reporting to a court Judge “immediately”, there lacks a specific timeframe around the word “immediately” that again could allow the police advantage via vaugeness of this bill in their favor. 

The purpose of this bill is so obvious that National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers chair Neri Colmenares even spoke up, stating that “ This isn’t really to go after the Abu Sayyaf or terrorists, or whoever they call as terrorists… I think the reason they actually need this bill is for the dissenters, the opposition.” (translated from Tagalog).

Save the voice of the Filipinos. Do not let them change the narrative. Hold the government accountable for their lapses. Dissent is not terrorism. Dissent is duty. #JunkTerrorBill

there’s something about living life deliberately…wearing clothes that you actually want to and that you feel reflect you and your style not just because you’ve had them for years and don’t know what else you would throw on….listening to songs and creating playlists that excite you and represent your actual mood not just listening to songs that you’ve had downloaded for years that don’t make you feel anything special anymore…it’s VERY easy to stay with what you’re comfortable and it might take a bit of experimenting before you find what feels like a deliberate choice that reflects more of YOU but it’s absolutely worth the leap of faith you may have to convince yourself to make to make yourself stop feeling like a passenger in your own life
