First of all, Happy New Year! :)
2012 has been really great for me, and I’m really glad to hear this from other people too. Instead of being the end (as what was predicted), the year that was turned out to be quite the opposite of it.
Personally, there hasn’t been a lot of things that happened in 2012. Actually, there are only few. But like how I always prefer things in general: quality over quantity. These few points in the past year turned out to be major changes and realizations in life. I’d like to coin 2012 as “The Catalyst,” and I’m looking forward to the coming years as how things will come in their full circle :)
So, to maintain the energy I’ve had, I have decided to use a planner! (finally, to the main topic of this post). I was really rooting for Paulo Coelho Transformations Day Planner because the illustrations were exquisitely beautiful! I already had a copy although I bought it as a gift. Was supposed to buy another one for myself but I put it back in the shelf because I was also skeptic of myself in using it, HEH. So I waited for days to think over of using one, and when I was finally decided, it was already sold out in every mall that I searched for. Good job, self!
LUCKILY, a friend gave me a Starbucks planner!
I guess I’m always lucky at having their planners (even though they only serve as a home for dust in my shelf), and I must say this year’s a good one! It’s not as heavy as the previous years and I really like the small details they’ve put inside :)
Each month has a theme of some sort, allowing you to be creative and communicative. I personally like the scribbling in random pages, telling you to do something good in that day.
My favorite would have to be (2) the magnetic cup bookmark! I squealed a little bit inside when I saw this haha! It’s so cute, clever and useful!
All in all, I’m satisfied with this year’s layout. It’s got all what I need, which I like, because then I’ll be more motivated to use it *crossfingers* :)
I’m letting my writing sail on its own this year, and may it crash to the waves of breaking free. Cheers to our hopes and dreams of 2013!
