The BDJ Fair 2013: #Make It Happen

I wrote before that I am crazy about planners. The first Belle de Jour planner that I had was in 2009. I enjoyed it for three years and moved on to other planners of another kind. Last year, I bought a new planner from the same manufacturer of Belle de Jour planners. I'm thinking of getting it again because the planner promotes positivity.

I've been getting newsletters from BDJ that I usually just read/browse through the email until one day I actually tried signing up for the BDJ Fair last October 13, 2013 at SM Mall of Asia. I was not exactly sure if I can go, so I blindly signed my sister up too for a slot to see if she can accompany me and she got in too! Which means, we really are meant to attend. 

Actually, the reason that I want to go is I want to meet, see, and hear my favorite Cosmopolitan Magazine  Editor-in-Chief, Myrza Sison, talk at the event. I'm so happy that I got a slot to listen to her presentation, but more on that on my next post. 

This is what the fair looks like on the second floor of SM Mall of Asia.

The Planner Phase

I've always had a thing for notebooks, paper, journals and planners. Whenever I see teasers about the red cups coming to town, two things immediately come to my mind:

1. I can't wait to get my hands on my favorite Starbucks peppermint mocha.
2. It means the Starbucks stickers and race for the planner is on!

I was able to collect Starbucks Planners before and enjoyed treating my friends during the freebie days ( buy one take one) and I really did take advantage of the coupons.

I was able to collect I think 3 or 4 Starbucks planners until I discovered Belle de Jour planners in 2009 (with more coupons) that made me switch in an instant.

Now, after 3 years of owning Belle De Jour Planners, I think I am on to another phase...
