Okay, quite frankly it was a no-brainer for me. The fact that I couldn’t see any pics or talk of the Go Nuts planner made me think that it probably wasn’t all that, so I pretty much made a bee line for this planner haha.

Now, to add valuable content to the Great Intarweb we all know and love (and because I told Columbia I’d post pics) here you go!

Black white and brown, they got one of my favorite color schemes down. :D

Calendar.

A sad day for the world. But more interestingly (by no means more importantly) the day of Thomas Crapper — inventor of the toilet flush we take for granted now. That’s an unfortunate name, but anyway, let us all flush our crappers in unison on January 27.

And this made me feel even better about buying it. Kudos to them. :]

The facts inside are pretty interesting, but from what I remember the Go Nuts planner was sorta like this last year, unusual holidays and all. Now for the record, I did visit Go Nuts Donuts to check the planner. And, hmm… let’s just say that IMO it’s just right for Php270. Nothing special, but okay if you just want a food-brand planner. :P

I can feel my life changing already. Gasp!

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

1. 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.
2. 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. :)
