A Romantic Agenda

On December 27, 2009 · 27 Comments · In Life, Reviews, Wishlist

After some sort of celebration, I already need to face my school chores. Well, that’s a need I refuse to fulfill simply because I’m not in the mood–and my mind and body haven’t achieved a state of enlightenment just yet. But for now, I’m a happy bum. Actually, I’m waiting for my 2010 planner because it will start a spark of gusto and will kick my ass towards my unused study desk. I thought Red Moleskine’s coming to me, but I changed my mind–I’ll settle for the mass-adored Starbucks Planner. Four stickers before possession; not bad.  Okay, I did break my words about this thing. But who cares?

I think I can get mine by Monday. And this means I’ll start working by that day–ah promise. For the mean time, I use my laptop and smarty pants phone to lay everything on the table. Things-to-do lists, appointments, meetings, assignments–yes, I’m pretending to be busy like this. I like my phone and its complementary, partner-in-crime PC suite very much. They’re actually easier to use than a planner. Just bring it out from your pocket, press the calendar key and start typing your business stress. Unlike an old good planner which is a brat. You have to open your bag, look for the day, bring out your pen and scribble like a corporate cat. In my case, I schedule/note everything when I’m in school and synchronize the information to my laptop at home so I can see an overview of how I’ll be murdered for a week or for a month. But well, handwriting is priceless. Planners are also identifying themselves as journals. This kind of identity crisis will cater to your hardcore business mindset and contemplative private life.

So I’m going for both: a journal-slash-planner and an electronic version of such. I actually synchronize both so they’ll tell me consistent blabbers of busy life.  The personal entries would remain on my journal though–my laptop won’t care about my emotional ink anyway. With two entities constantly reminding me of what to do, I hope I’ll never miss a date next year. I’ll be romantic to you, 2010.

    You’re going for the Starbs Planner?! Surprising.haha I thought you didn’t like it. Me, I’m not sure na if I still want the Starbs Planner. I’m scouting for other options. By the way, have you seen the new Tomato Planner? It looks better than the last time. I wanted to buy it, but I’m still thinking kasi it still has limited space. Now, I’m really undecided what to buy :(

    But the Starbucks is costlier than a Moleskin. And I still don’t have any stickers, so I’ll go for Moleskin. Haha.

    I already have my brown (gold actually), traditional-looking, professional and classy planner. Completely opposite from my old Levi’s jeans-skinned planner. Looks like for older people–hopefully it’ll help me mature. HAHA. I just wish I had that ‘smarty pants phone’ of yours. Anyway, acads should be put aside, it’s our last holiday break! better make the most out of it. Forget thesis! Now I’m ruining my online image. haha. Hang-out soon!

    Merry Christmas, Barry! Yeah, Hayden’s one nice guy. I bought him using my own money–an investment indeed. ;)

  • http://www.alpsaguado.com/ Alps

    Yeah, apparently, I have collected stickers na pala, isa na nga lang to obtain a planner. So, ‘dun na lang, ayaw ko na gumastos. :( Really? Tomato’s nice! I don’t mean I buy stuff from there but their planners actually look good. Check Got Heart! :)

  • http://www.alpsaguado.com/ Alps

    Theoretically, the SB’s more expensive. But I have stickers na kasi. :( Go for Moleskine!

  • http://www.alpsaguado.com/ Alps

    TRUE. Wala talagang perfect planner. :( Happy new year!

    So do you need an online reputation manager of some sort na? Haha. I like classic and minimalist planners nga eh. It tells a “strictly work” enforcement kasi. :) See you, bud brother! LOL

    Alps, I already saw it. I didn’t like it :( I think I’m going for the Design Your Life Planner, the one Ren had last year. And by the way, I haven’t started planning my life ahead, academically speaking that is.

    You too, thanks John!

  • http://www.alpsaguado.com/ Alps

    Yay! Salamat sa pagbisita’t pagbalik. :D Ako rin makalat, kaya nga I am hoping that a planner would be a prescription drug for my messy life. :))

  • http://www.alpsaguado.com/ Alps

    Haha, thanks for the offer, Mita! I got a planner na actually. Hehe.

    I was thinking to get myself a planner pero i guess they’re too bulky for me… Anyway, good luck this 2010… keep the posts coming… ^^

  • http://www.alpsaguado.com/ Alps

    Yeah, planners don’t suit everyone’s taste. My dad’s an example. He does not “plan”. He just, err, scribbles. Haha. Good luck sa 2010! And nice seeing you here!

    And btw, why can’t I comment on your blog? :(
