starbucks 2012 planner

the starbucks 2012 planners are out . . .there are 5 choices (cover) -- bamboo, oak, poplar, cherry and spruce . . . (i prefer the darker ones -- oak and the 2nd to the darkest which i could not remember; my least favorite would be the 2 lighter ones -- bamboo and another 1 which i also could not rememeber, only because the side trimming looks itchy -- yung parang katsa na sako, and it's a haven for dirt and dust)

the planners also have pouches . . .

the idea of having a pouch for the planner is probably cool for the majority but not for me . . . 1st, because i will probably just lose it; 2nd, medyo waste of time; and 3rd, it will collect dirt and dust (knowing me, haha!)


since starbucks came out with planners years ago, i claimed at least 3 planners every year but never got to use a single one (gave it away, don't worry!). . . this time, i want to (might) use one because it's not so bulky and it just like a bigger version of my pocket moleskine --- one-week on the left page and a plain ruled-page on the right . . . incidentally, hubby gifted me with a 2012 weekly pocket planner already! yay!


the mechanics for this year is also better . . . for those who do not prefer the christmas selection (toffee nut latte, peppermint mocha, and the new cranberry white chocolate mocha) like me, we can opt to just collect 23 stickers (instead of 8 stickers for regular beverage AND 9 stickers for chrismas selection).  with my nespresso around (and a lot cheaper by the way), i don't think i can get 3 planners this year . . .i'd be lucky to get 2 (and maybe, that will be because of hubby, haha!) . . .
