Probably, this is an extension of my stationaries collection way back in gradeschool.
Until I learned the power of having a planner. I was not really huge when it comes to utilizing my planner until we moved here and I became a SAHM well WAHM err SWAHM (stay-at-home and student mom and part-time working mom lol). I have them every year as I collect the Starbucks Journal, not to mention the journals I received as Christmas gifts.
I am pretty excited about my 2009 as I know a lot is in store for me and my family, as if my/our 2008 wasn't that exciting and adventurous teehee. So, as early as last month, I was searching for my perfect 2009 planner. Every mall trip would mean a stop at Borders and check out their crazy beautifully-designed journals. Until I saw this: 'The' Belle de Jour Power Planner 2009. What I love about this is that it is customized for busy women. It is sort of a Kikay/Simpler Version of my Franklin Covey planner which I never used because it was so matrabaho.
Let's look at the inside pages.
It even has the menstrual tracker :). They have freebies/coupons which of course did not matter to me as I won't be able to use them here.
I immediately emailed them and pre-ordered my Journal. Candace Lim was quick to reply and this planner cost P598 only :). However, I have to cover my US shipping. It's okay as I covered my Starbucks journal shipping as well.
However, I am so intrigued by the Moleskine notebook/planner craze and will get myself this ruled and plain volant notebooks as my blogging and doodle notebook. The Moleskine is an Italian acid-free paper journal/notebook which has been used by Vincent Van Gogh. I was expecting it to be highly-priced but when I checked Amazon, this red and pink notebooks were priced from $6-8 only :). The hardbound planners are priced $12-18.
This ends my 2009 planner search. What's yours?

Em!!! OMG. I just received a BDJ planner from my high school friend. I absolutely had no idea what it is. Obvious ba na I haven't been reading this blog? ;-) It's perfect!! I couldn't thank my friend enough for giving it to me as a birthday gift. Bumili pa naman ako ng Moleskine. Now what will I do with it? Panreregalo ko na lang siguro. I do have my Starbucks planner na. I use that as my journal/diary. Miss you dear!
