By now, most people are probably waiting for Starbucks to officially introduce the holiday drinks as well as release the promo cards needed to get that much coveted 2010 Starbucks Planner. Based from the barista I asked, it will be on November 4. So, 10 days from now, people will start scrambling to drink the featured drinks just to have the planner. At the same time, it's also this time when some people would smirk and think what a capitalist ploy this is. Yes, it only applies here in the Philippines (apparently, Starbucks in other countries do not have this kind of promo).
You can actually put me in the group that's trying to complete whatever number of stickers are needed to have the planner as a 'reward'. I started December 2005 and got the 2006 Starbucks planner as my first.
Truth be told, I really don't think I'm wasting money on something that can be bought cheaper if it's another brand because I'm a Starbucks patron after all - either me and my friend/officemates have our break there or i spend time alone at a nearby branch.
I actually enjoy comparing and using the planners every year. Among the planners I got, I still like 2006's the most. It's not bulky. It's not heavy. And it's more of like a notebook. Add to that, it had coupons with it. Planner for 2007 was what I didn't like the most because although it looked more chic, it takes a toll to carry it all the time (required me to carry a durable bag as well). 2008's planner is slimmer and lighter but I have complaints regarding the paper since it's not thick and I can't use my colored gel pens to write on it. I kinda like this year's planner as it kind of resembles 2006's, just that I didn't like the colors that much (the black one looked like a Bible and the blue one looked like a record book that's why I chose the red).
I'm hoping the planner for next year will be easy to lug around as I bring mine everyday and everywhere. Cute designs plus quality paper would be ideal, too. Anyone from Starbucks who can read this? :)

I saw the Starbucks planner in Singapore. Ang panget :(
rochie.. haven't seen the planner yet. i think kasabay ng redemption card will be the planner.
hmm does this mean may Starbucks planner in SG as well? (i just found out meron din in Malaysia and Indonesia. Thing is, their 2009 planners looked like our 2008 planner here.) what does it look like there?
here in indonesia, it's leather.. or i think leather like. and the paper is good too. im planning to get one. 26 stickers! and each cost at least P200. o my. :) haha.
hi girlie :) my 26 stickers?! that's a lot!!! i'm not sure if i remember it right, but i think the most we had was 21.
i hope i get to see how indonesia's starbucks planner looks like. :)
don't forget all the Christmas decors ^^ they look so nice, albeit pretty expensive :c
