Here's a sample: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3640/3367727592_...
Specially now that I'm becoming a mommy again, I need a special notebook wherein I could write down all my new mommy experiences with our new bundle of joy.
Thanks Anime for this great contest :D
If I win Moleskine Large Ruled Notebook, I would write on them without throwing the papers away, so that my son would have something to read about himself as a little boy.
(check out this blog as proof: http://theaalberto.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/my-...)
Now on our 5th anniversary this July, I think the moleskin will still be a great gift--we will make the already legendary notebook "personally legendary" by writing our wedding preparation notes, anecdotes on our "saturdates," and other memories we will surely love to read from the moleskin when we're old and wrinkly. :)
However, I am currently involved in a project at work right now which entails more note-taking and the one-pager space in my current planner is not enough. After all, I need to reserve it also for my weekly activities and to-dos. I am looking for a large notebook where details of the new project as well as updates can be written down.
I'm hoping that I win this Moleskin ruled notebook because it is perfect for my requirement and will match my current Moleskine planner! Crossing my fingers that I win this one!
P.S. When I initially got my Moelskine planner last year, my officemates saw it and a number of them got theirs too! Now, most of us are Moleskine addicts. =)
Cheers!
Plan B: In this tech-savvy age, handwritten letters are rendered "obsolete" to electronic mails. I'm thinking of letting each friend keep the notebook for a day or two and let them write to me! It would be a journal of letters, a very personal and meaningful keepsake I'll keep through out the years.
I would use it as my anecdotal notebook for my cute and rowdy students so that i would be inspired in writing situations that tested my patience and emotional stability with them. In this manner, writing anecdotal wouldn't be as tasking and so routinized. Writing on Moleskine is one heck of a fun experience.
did i say that i do have a lot of writing stint. haha.
plus using it as a journal-photo album-planner in one. yay! excited!
I will keep it until my future child turns 18. And I will tell him/her that once upon a time, we wrote down our thoughts using pen and ink.
That we loved the smell of fragrant pens on ruled paper.
That a writer's block meant looking at a blank page--not a blinking cursor on the monitor.
I will deprive myself of the natural highs of writing something on this special notebook, and let my child experience it instead.
I know it's just a notebook. But getting something as old as you are and being the first one to use it would make all the difference.

(Sorry, had to re-post. I wasn't sure how to make my name appear in the previous entry.)
I've had my own diary when I was a kid and I lost the interest to start yet another because of my blog but I would definitely want to bring back literally the writing in me.
I used to write and doodle a lot of things about my life, my dreams, my visions, my concepts and my ideals in different notebooks or papers I can able to write on since childhood. Until now, I still have it and tried my best to keep them before mom would just throw them out thinking it's just trash. I keep a lot of stuff even if it can be thrown away, but I cherish them no matter how worn out the paper would be. I'm a sentimental person, who likes to keep a lot of memories no matter how good or bad it would be.
I find it hard to write and doodle on different kinds of paper nowadays because people in my home might see it as trash and so I tried to keep in my mind. Though honestly, whenever I tried to remember this certain kind of part... Well.. I tend to forget.
If I win this notebook, maybe I'll put everything I can remember down and so by the time I need to look back for ideas, I have it everything written and doodled down in this large ruled notebook of inspiration.
as a wife, mom of two kids, i have lots of funny, weird, sad, happy moments with my family.
the moleskine notebook will be my "hardcopy" diary for the special experiences i have with them.
ie. i'd write down those witty funny lines my children say, questions & answers that keeps me wondering -- did my 3/5 yr old child say that?
when we get older, it would be very refreshing to read all those memories -- saya yun =)

If given a chance, I want to give the Moleskine Large Ruled Notebook to my sister. It's my way of saying thank you for all the love, support and sacrifices she has given me. “Ikaw naman, ate” because I love you.
Tissue paper, I mean.
So, yes, I do hope I win the Moleskin notebook. Life would be so much easier. And I can eat more fiber-enriched food too.
I'd like each of us to have a notebook so that we can feel that the other is there to listen. Winning a moleskin notebook would be very helpful since not only are we assured of the quality of the notebook, that it can last a very long time, especially with the wear and tear of sending it back and forth, it's special because winning one is like a gift from someone who understands what we're going through. :D
Answer: I will attend and represent our company in all presentations and/or bidding, with my Moleskine by my side and bagging the contract!
The three things I love about it are its being simple but elegant, its size and its being ruled. Its simplicity makes it easy to display, thus allowing me to bring it anywhere! Its size will overcompensate what cramped up spaces usual notebooks I own do (or prohibit). Its being ruled is perfect for illustrations! As a Molecular Biology and Biotechnology student, figures are a MUST when note-taking. And proportions have to be accurate too! The vertical lines make it a hundredfold easier and faster to create diagrams.
Lastly, being a UP student, there are a lot of things my budget has priorities over. The Moleskine large ruled notebook is just too expensive an investment for someone who doesn't earn. Getting one for free will not only help my academics, but will also unleash the creative side in me.
Many great people have their Moleskin as their companion when they were creating great things. I just wish that this time around, I can have my very own Moleskin where I can create my own journey and fulfill great things too.
The large Moleskine ruled notebook will serve as the medium of my soul to the real world, and that's what I intend it to be. :)
okay so if ever ill win one then most likely ill use it as a (whatelse?) notebook ofcourse! initially, i was thinking of using it as a journal but since it's the middle of the year then it wouldnt be that good of an idea for me. well i can use it next year but if i had one right now then id want to use it right away:) anyway ill be starting something new this year. this july to be exact. id be going to culinary school(something id been wanting to do since i was in gradeschool *my parents didnt allow me to take hrm back then ) and im really excited about it. i want to make it memorable and yes as much as possible, perfect. having a moleskin notebook with me would somehow make it special. really special. id use it jot down notes, recipes doodles and whatnot. there'll be enough space for me o write those things down. a lot of space to write my inputs and a whole lot more. also id save the last few pages for my classmate and mentors to sign to (jot their encouagements etc :) ) it would serve as a memorabilia for me:) and in the future it's somehing i can grab so i can look back to one of the most special events in my life. this may sound cheesy but who cares:)
a moleskin notebook being part of your life is not bad nor cheesy.
i never had a moleskin notebook but this can be the start of owning a fantastic piece of *notebook*
recipe book. I will write all my own and original recipes
also some of my favorites from appetizers down to dessert.
In this case, my compilation will pass thru to my kids and
eventually to their kids. Im sure it will be useful from generation to generation! wish ko lang ....^_^
hopefully this will pass thru to my kids and to to my future grandchildren ~ generation to generation ! I believe this will be of big help to them in their everyday life....
I am, both by necessity and by choice, a man of many hats.
I am a husband and a father--two roles where memories are best served by preservation in writing and other media.
I am a teacher and a student--in two different fields--and writing will again help embody the thinking I do in those two situations.
I read somewhere, years back, that all the things we forgot but can't quite seem to recall are always brilliant in retrospect. It seems that all the lost thoughts and daydreams are always those that we thought would save the world one day, and I'd either like to save the world (yes, what a purpose), or prove my delusions wrong. Either way, I'd like a record - a captain's log, if you will - of all the epiphanies and eurekas, all the grandiose plans to save the world (complete with diagrams and figures! Saving the world one scribble at a time, why not.)
This is why I want - no, lust after - no, need that
Moleskine. After all, should my grandspawn dig it up one day, they're bound to have fun laughing at my stone-age hallucinations.
Besides, there are things you don't blog about, but need to somehow vent anyway (these are the same things you can't talk about in polite company, sadly), and a Moleskine would be pretty handy. Imagine sitting in class and wanting to hurl invectives at the lecturer. It's the sort of thing that merits remembrance but not public announcement (or humiliation.)
In conclusion (this is a pretty long comment, imagine the things I could do with that notebook!), I want that Moleskine. I'm going to need it to rule over the world. :p
hold my sincerest feelings, dreams and thoughts for them, letters telling them what I cannot tell as of yet about the world, something they will treasure and show their own children when I am no longer around.
Lines for poems. Dialogues for characters. Ideas for stories.
It will hold my plans.
Project proposals. Rehearsal schedules. Weekend gimmicks.
It will hold my heart.
My friends. My family. My loved ones.
That would be in that notebook.
But with the Moleskine (if ever I win), I am planning to utilize this as a notepad of my son's growth. Miguel is 1 year old and growing up so fast, I see how he develops into a very smart, funny kid. I want to document those growing moments with him. He's malambing and brings me so much joy. :)

The lines of a notebook as a receptacle for metaphors thought up by the sudden symptom of inspiration, the blossoming of a then-slumbering muse. The oilcloth notebook wrap, a gatekeeper of a poet’s dream.
