The 2020 Starbucks Planner

As promised in my previous planner post, I will now share what I use at work. For business tasks, I use the Starbucks Planner. I leave it in the office and doodle on it my daily tasks. Having two planners helps me focus on things... to only do them one at a time. And well, if left undone, schedule them for some other time, right? Hahaha~

It's now February and I've used up the January pages of this beautiful planner. And so, without further ado, please welcome... The 2020 Starbucks Planner in Frost Grey:

The 2020 Starbucks Planner in Frost Grey

The whole set comes with a 2020 planner, a case, a bookmark, and a set of stickers. The color is perfect for business related stuff. One thing that stands out is the fabulous texture! Tough, leathery, embossed and debossed at the image. For this version, the siren's tail is featured, but the highlight of it all is the cup of coffee. The velvet case is something to drool at, too. 

See the Siren's tail debossed and embossed at the covers!

A close look at the bookmark and stickers.

The details at the velvet case.

Love this zipper featuring the Starbucks Siren icon.

Come! Let's flip through the pages... 

Gotta love this page... this is the first you'll see after flipping the cover.

More information on coffee. :)

The monthly dividers give us understanding of all things coffee! Wow!

Some reminders on Holidays...

The weekly planner spread. Tasks on left and Notes on right.

Subtle details at the side page: highlights on the day and a mini calendar.

And of course, I use this regularly... great deals with the Starbucks coupons.

Starbucks Planner 2020 coupons galore! :D

So what do you think? Isn't it gorgeous? Quality Starbucks workmanship at your fingertips! I feel so inspired just seeing this everyday, it makes my work day better! What about you, what planner do you use for work? :D 

A Full Moon: My Second Fanfiction is Here!

Heya Dearies! Following my first fanfiction The Path of The Unspecialized (The King's Avatar Fanfic), which was posted in Webnovel, my next story is now ready to be published! I'm very excited to share this with you.

One of the video games that I have played for a very long time is The Sims. Started around 19 years ago, thereabouts. Until now, I don't get tired of creating Sims and building houses. Though yes, there have been times where I was disappointed at how buggy the game is... but yeah, it hasn't stopped me from playing the game. Hahaha~

The Sims is a life simulation and oftentimes, I create stories for my sims. What would they look like? How would they start out? Where would they live?

With The Sims 4: Vampires game pack came Caleb Vatore, who became my favorite pre-made sim. I would pair him up with a sim of my own. And in the process of playing, I eventually got inspired to write down how their story would go in my version of The Sims 4 world. So presenting... 

A Full Moon: A 'The Sims 4' Fanfiction

Cover of A Full Moon (with thanks to my sis for editing)

This has taken me almost two years to create, Dearies. It was that hard. Hahaha~ Actually, I started with this first before my The King's Avatar fanfic. I love them both equally. It has been a great opportunity for me to practice and enhance my writing skill. This time, I decided to publish this on Wattpad. One chapter of A Full Moon will be posted weekly, so stay tuned! 😃

Check out the blurb below:

The vampire Caleb wakes up from a long sleep, without any memories of what transpired a month ago. Together with his girlfriend, Averie, they retrace his path and it opens up realizations of love, magic, and old enemies. A full moon is only a speck of time for an immortal, but will this spark an eternal clan war? 

This is my first fanfic from The Sims 4. Caleb Vatore is my favorite pre-made Sim. I liked him the moment I saw him in the Sims 4 Vampires Trailer. Playing the game for a long time inspired me to create this fanfiction. Characters and world setting belong to Maxis and EA.  

You are welcome to leave comments and reviews for me. 😃📚✍🏻🧛🏻‍♂️

Thank you so much for all your support, Dearies. Watch out for chapter 2 next week! 😃

The 2020 Belle de Jour Power Planner

Happy New Year, dearies! The occasion usually calls for a choice of planners for the year. For me, it has always been a yes! I began using one on the year 2008. Yep, I’ve been using planners for more than decade. I find it useful if you are adulting: juggling work and life together. 

And yes! I’m sharing with you today my planner for my life events. During New Year’s, I really couldn't decide an article to write. Should it be about encouragement? Or last year’s highlights? And always, I end up writing about the planner that I would use. So here I am…

My life events and hobbies planner is the Belle de Jour Power Planner. I’ve been using BDJ since 2011, so it’s like… nine years now. Woah! Has it been that long? I love this planner and I get inspiration from its pages. So presenting... The 2020 BDJ Power Planner in limited edition cover:

Isn’t it Pretty? There were other covers to choose from. All of them were equally beautiful. But this one… the whorls and astrological symbolism appealed to me. The gold foil is also such a delight for the eyes. But wait, there’s more beauty inside it.

A pretty information page. :)

A quote to brighten your day.

I always fill the goals page up. :D

And yes... the coloring page.

Filling up the Dream Board is my favorite part!

A bucket list for the year.

What a gorgeous monthly divider! 

A closer look at the graceful photo.

Every month comes with this full calendar. 

The pages reveal a weekly planner.

Some inspirational quote for the week. :D

And there are new pages, too. I really like the “Attract Your Starlight” page as it is a good way to remind yourself of your dreams every hour.

Hey... this is a new one! Like a Dream Board! :)

Yeah... this one!

And a page on gratitude.

A freedom page! Imma let all the creativity flow on this one.

The 2020 Declarations Page.

The planner comes with a cute magnetic bookmark of planets and the BDJ 2020 motto.

Aaaaand there’s more! One of the best features of BDJ are the coupons and the BDJ card! Discounts, here we go! Wheee~ 

The BDJ 2020 card and coupons booklet.

Coffee, anyone?

Ooooh, shopping!

So what do you think of the awesome pages? I hope it inspired you, too. The year 2020 brings about new dreams as we welcome a new decade. Happy 2020, dearies! ‘Till next post (hint: I’m pretty sure it will be about my work planner! heehee~).

Yay!
