coffee addict on leave


a starbucks or seattle's best planner was supposed to make it to my top 10 christmas wish list, but i figured it was too "trivial" to be lumped together with a car, a plasma tv & a new laptop...  pwede pa sana if i wish for a new PDA phone. hehehe...

so why this special entry on coffee and planners? 

because for the first time since starbucks started with their planner christmas promo, i will be unable to complete my card.  scratch that.  i haven't even been able to stick any of those red coffee cup stickers on my card. not one.  this, considering that for the past years, i would already get to claim my planner on the 1st or 2nd week of december!

i can't drink coffee.  baby might come out as restless and as jittery as i.  or baby might come out before it's due.  kris said i can drink decaf, but what is coffee if it has no caffeine???  i have stayed away from starbucks since the confirmation, because i don't want to be tempted to drink my favorite white choco mocha.  (all the books say i can drink a cup or two of coffee a day.  but i'd rather not.)

my alternative planner is the petron planner, my 2nd loved planner.  but am not sure if this year, maila will be able to distribute the planners to us.

oh well... am just really sad about missing the planner this year.  and i hope that this entry serves as more than just a reading piece to manila-based friends and family, who might be kind enough to donate to me their hard-earned starbucks planner.

i will love you for the whole of 2008. promise. :)

I concur. : ) Well actually, I know what it is and I've seen it... I'm just mystified why it has become the new millenium's status symbol.

Prylle, if only you were living in Cebu, I would give you all the stickers I'm supposed to be earning from my coffee.

yup i had my starbucks planner for 2007, but im not collecting anymore for 2008, turns out, i used my planner as a scrapbook or something with lots of items pasted on it: pictures, movie tickets, boarding pass, receipts, etc.. haha

Haha. I am so happy that you are not on this calendar thing again. And I'm sure your resolve to avoid caffeine is much bigger this time :)
