I have always been into paper stuffs ever since I could remember. Before, I would hog the planners given to my parents because I knew I could use it more than them, but it was only in 2007 that I was really able to say I put my planners to good use. Well, I do have a planner every year, but I guess because 2007 was the year that I started seeing places.

It has been two years now, and with me using digital cameras and doing blogging, not only do I have to make sure my pictures were organized, I also have to make sure that I was able to write down all the places and events I went to, so when a need for a particular picture arises, I don't have to search through each of my files (now that most of the old pictures were stored in CDs), I can just check my planner and flip through its pages for easy finding.

This system wasn't just helpful when it comes to locating pictures - it also helps me not to forget certain events I need to attend, not to mention the upcoming birthdays. And as a scrapbooker, I need to provide all the essential details of the pictures (date, place, mood, etc), so it would be more fun to look back as the years pass.

When it comes to planners, women just love to have the Belle de Jour planner. I first heard of it from my online friend Colleen, and every time a year would unfold, I would get to hop to different blogs just raving about their BDJ planner. Being a woman, I also want to have it, of course. But checking on the reality of life, I just can't afford it. It's not really that expensive - considering the quality of the planner - the problem really was with me and my wallet. =) It was really a blessing having to see Jenny giving out this planner in her blog. I want to win one for myself, just so to feel how does it feel to have her own BDJ planner.

Not only that, the perks inside the planner was a bottle-ful of cherries on top of a cake. But of course, the main reason why I wanted to own one was simply because I don't want to forget the memories. Yes, I do have the pictures, the blogs, and the scrapbooks.... but having the planner completes the set. I have kept most of my planners, hopefully for 2010, I could write my thoughts in the pages of the BDJ planner.

If you want to own a 2010 Belle de Jour power planner just like me, just head on to Jenny's Kikay Corner to read the details.
