Its the season to collect stickers again to get the one of the most coveted Coffee Planners. I used to collect stickers back then. Going thru a lot of tactics just to complete the 4 stickers. I remember then I needed 3 more stickers just to get the planner. Know what I did to complete the remaining stickers? I bought coffee for my friends. Aww they're so lucky I'm desperate hahaha :)
Anyways looking back it was a very expensive planner considering a coffee frap costs around 150 ++ pesos. But don't get me wrong. I don't regret it because I know the sales from each coffee I buy goes to a charity that helps under privilege kids. So its not so bad :)
So going back on how I met BDJ planner. It was Christmas season then, I was still figuring out how to finish my remaining stickers just to get the planner. Then I saw my cousin's planner with a girl in front wearing a hat. And I asked her ano yan? and she said planner ito yung Belle de Jour.
And I was like wow meron palang girly planner. :) I'm so used to seeing black and brown planners in the book store and I was so happy to see a planner that suits every girls needs.
So the following year which is 2009 I bought my very first BDJ Planner online and I was so happy and from then on I kept on buying BDJ Planners.
And then the Navigator came out. I bought 3 Navi planners and gave it as Christmas gifts to my friends. :) They were so happy and gave great feedback about the lay out and how useful the planner was.
I like the "extras" included in the planner like the gift lists, expenses and income page, tips on how to be financially savvy, the menstrual cycle tracking and etc. I like the way it was incorporated in the planner. The planner is not just use for writing down schedules or to do list. Its a multifunctional planner that's easy and very convenient to use.
Despite being in the world of technological advancement, I still find myself enjoying writing down on my planner. I also use my planner as a mini diary where I write down significant moments in my life that are worth remembering like the first time I dined in a fancy restaurant or the moment I caught myself in an awkward situation like my crush caught me staring at him. :)
I also like the coupons. :) very handy whenever I feel like shopping or dining at Coffee Bean and tea Leaf :)
And most of all I like the dream board and check list of things you might want to try :)
I also enjoy joining the Rendezvous where they have topics that empower women.
Thanks BDJ and keep up the good work :)
See you next year on the next rendezvous :)
