But for 2012, I wanted to look for other planners. Perhaps there's another planner that's useful as BDJ but less kikay.
Last month, I bought a Paolo Coelho Daily Moments 2012 planner at Powerbooks in Greenbelt 4. It's supposed to be for my youngest sister as her christmas wish list. But she changed her mind. Instead, I gave it as my exchange gift during our department christmas party. I didn't like the design - it has no monthly calendar, has a few lines to jot down important events, thoughts during the week.
I went back to Powerbooks to search for my next planner. I saw Navi. It was done by the same people behind BDJ but less kikay, lesser coupons, cheaper. Without hesitation, I bought it. Navi is short for navigator and as the name implies, it is a travel journal. Very, very appropriate for me - I like to travel & I want to travel. I also adore the uniqueness of the design - the right page of each book is blank. I have the freedom to write down anything & everything under the sun, I can paste pictures, and even draw.
I can't wait to start writing down on it. :)
