Why is everyone getting them planners anyway?
And when I say everyone, I mean including me! I’m not the type of person who buys stuff expensive because of names (though to be fair, they tend to have good quality) but darn did I want that Starbucks planner. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem all that good from what I gather, and when I saw the picture from Pinoyfood, I was kinda relieved!
Believe it or not, I was contemplating treating my officemates to coffee just to get this, but for the cover design, not worth it for me (Hey, if you think it’s good, then whatever floats your boat. :D). The designs inside aren’t so bad, but Mary says it sucks so at that price, I’d rather not. Haha.
Now, that still doesn’t break my resolve to get a good planner. I saw the Belle De Jour ones and while I do get why they say they’re nice… not my thing I guess, and I can’t really tell why. You guys might find it pretty though, so clicky click if you want.
Now I have 2 options. No, not the Moleskine ones — I seriously do not get it. No really, someone please explain to me what the big deal is about Moleskines, I’m curious. Lulz. But anyway, being the cheap (lol) paper-loving person I am, my 2 options as of now are
- The Go Nuts Disorganizer. I haven’t seen it yet, but I saw Columbia’s 2008 disorganizer was cute! If it’s anything like that, and please say it’s brown, I want.
- This Journal Will Actually Change Your Life!!! 2009. Yes, that’s what it’s called. It’s from Free Speech Publications, and though it looks pretty decent on the website, I have yet to see the actual one. I’m gonna try looking for it, I hope it’s still in stock.
The best thing about those planners is — you can buy them! Wonder of wonders!
Quite frankly, when I use calendars for work I prefer ones printed out on paper or on a wall (preferably both), because they’re more accessible and you don’t have to flip pages to see them. This, in theory, would be for personal use rather than for work, buuuuuut I don’t really plan my weeks too much. I’m guessing I won’t be doing my future planner any justice.
But I like paper, so don’t judge me. :)

@kilawinguwak - The Starbucks one? Wow. Actually I really just like paper, seriously hahaha. I buy notepads, notebooks and post-its randomly… hardly ever use them. *weird* :D I’m gonna try to make good use of it though, we’ll see.

That planner was thanks to our Christmas Party last year. :) EJ was the one who bought it~ And I love the paper on that, which is why I’m planning to at least have a look at what 2009 looks like.
That planner you got though, seems like a good purchase. :D I buy a lot of sketchpads that I hardly ever use either so we’re pretty much the same. :3

@ 許・美美 - Oh it was a prize? Kewlbeans!
Honestly I can’t find a single picture of the 2009 one on the net. I’ll be at the mall tomorrow so if I remember, I’m gonna check it out. And take pics, for the betterment of the intarweb. 8]
