The year 2011 is about to take its final bow and tomorrow is the first day of the last month of this year. When you're caught up with a lot of errands, you'd probably not notice that the first year of a new decade is about to finish. Busy Christmas shoppers are everywhere most specially during weekends. You may be one of those who's sick searching for that free spot in the parking area, irritated because cabs are nowhere seen and malls take forever to pay in the cashier's area. No doubt, Christmas and New Year is just around the corner.
When we open a brand new year, this also means that a change of calendar is needed at home. And if you're one of those holistic followers of several coffee shops, a new planner is one thing that you most look forward to. You may even hear friends or colleagues asking you this: "How many stickers do you have?".
The first planner I had was in 2008 courtesy of Starbucks.

I wasn't really much in to collecting this stuff before. In fact, I only got interested getting this planner because one day this unknown generous guy gave his 6 stickers and I just continued filling the remaining ones. I realized my Mom collects planners from her friends who work in banks so why not giving it a try. Looking back on those old planners given to her, most of them were probably designed for CEO and Managers. Imagine a heavy, dark blue, metal edged, hard bound planners with a gold ribbon used as a bookmark - too formal and stiff.
Nowadays, isn't it nice to see that people are becoming more challenged to innovate? The trend, the market, the lifestyle - they carefully study all these aspects before they launch their brand. They know exactly where to hit you. They can make you a "convert" and eventually carry something you previously disregard. This of course has its pros and cons, but for me, I'm a "convert" and I would like to start a new year with my new planner. I'll be getting one for Mother dear, too. If you ask me why I'd like to have one, that is certainly because writing in paper is still incomparable.
So far, here are my top picks.
