The Power Planner

ABBEY: Alam ko very awkward yung magkanito ang isang guy, lalo na yung ganitong mga design. Hehe. Hindi naman ako katulad ni Wilma na kailangan mag-set ng mga meeting for next week, magpasa ng docs at manifest at a certain hour and day. But whenever I have an important thing na dapat tandaan, I'll just grab my phone and set an alarm. :)

The biggest perk for me ng mga planner na ito is yung mga freebies nila or discount coupons. Nawili akong kumain sa white hat, nakapunta ako sa ACE water spa, etc... Nung nakita namin yung planner ng BDJ for 2011, it was different. May mga leaf na tinanggal sa basic na planner and they can be purchased as an add-on. :( Pati mga coupons nila mostly puro discount na lang. Wala nang one-for-one. I hope hindi manatili sa ganito yung BDJ kung sakaling cost-cutting sila. It will create a negative impression sa kanila ang mga clients nila.

WILL: 2007 I already got a Guess planner from a friend but I didn't somehow maximize the importance of it. 

      2008, My boss gave us another planner from Guess ulit, then that was the start of my busy years. Kaya siguro nya ako binigyan ng planner, hehe. When u got to see the inside of it, it looks like a dump site, lots of post it(from Abbey), IDs from different events, etc. etc.

      2009 the Belle de Jour, this is my first time to buy something online. I got the idea of this when one of the accounting chose to buy a planner instead the one provided ng office. This time medyo masinop na and mas maayos na pag nagsusulat ako but the IDs, stickers, receipts, and little notes from Abbey eh di ko pa rin naiiwasan ilagay. Di na mukang basurahan, more of scrapbook na sya.

      2010. Belle de Jour pa rin, Ito malinis n tlaga. As in ang konti ng nakasulat. Why? Kasi I am using the calendar notes na sa phone. I got my to-dos na din downloaded from Apps. 

      In the coming years, planner on paper or in mobile phones, definitely, I will always be needing for one.

Thank you for...

WILL: When I saw that I have post it stickers on my drawer, an idea just popped out. 

      After the weekly cleaning of Abbey's room, I post my thank yous. The reason why I feel so blessed for this past years. 

      A simple thing to show that I appreciate everything that he do for me and my loved ones.

ABBEY:
This surprised me. Kasi habang nasa office, she's telling me that she's cleaning the room. On my mind, nagbabago na siya ulit ng ayos ng kwarto. Bagong bedsheet, curtain, pati sahig nilampaso. Then when I got home, ayun muntik na akong maligaw. :) Tapos sa isang side ng cabinet, nakita ko yung maliliit na cut ng papel. I asked her ano yun? She replied, "Basahin mo."


I was flattered. Kasi hindi ko ine-expect na halos lahat ng ginawa ko, masagwa man, tulad ng paghihilik o maganda e pinagpapasalamat niya. It also inspired me to be more loving and caring for her kasi maliit o malaking bagay man, na-a-appreciate niya.


I'm sure with just few post it, list of things to be thankful for, and a creative mind, mapapaligaya niyo ang mga taong mahal ninyo. Thank you Baby Wilma.

Crocs

ABBEY:
Well, what can I say? Nagkaroon lang ako nito nung nagkatrabaho ako. Una, hindi naman importante sa akin ang tatak. Pangalawa, nun lang ako nagka-pera. Pero come to think of it, all my crocs were gifts. :) Nung una ko siyang sinuot, aba, amazing. Malambot sa paa. Iba ang tapak kesa sa "Beach Walk" ko. It gives you comfort, and good foot-support.


Kaya lang hindi naka-iwas ang paa ko sa kagat ng crocs. I wore the pair then I go to a mall. I felt there's much friction between my feet and the slippers. Look and behold, I saw blisters on each foot. Pero ok lang, ganun naman talaga kapag bago ang gamit. Now, I'm getting used to it. Thank you Wil, for the crocs.

WILL: Despite of all the issues about the accidents in wearing these footwear, we still bought some last 2009 when they have their annual sale in Megatent Ortigas. I bought a black shoes ( I forgot the name of the design) and gray & white flipflops. 
      For flipflops what can I say?, it is perfect. While the shoes? ayun, it bit my foot, resulting into a blister. I bought some Dr. Scholl's to prevent the friction. 
      I can recommend the flipflops but not the shoes. Kaya last September, when crocs announced their 80% sale at Suntec City. We bought another set of tsinelas. :)
