Ako si Blokoy: Starbucks 2012 Planner vs. CBTL 2012 Giving Journal

Two more days and November is finally over. And as what I have mentioned on my first blog, I'm used to having and start using my planners by December until November of 2012.. So now I am just happy that I already completed my two planners =). As promised, I am now giving you a comparison of the 2012 Starbucks planner and the CBTL Giving Journal 2012.

Both are actually good choices of planners... If you want to ask me which one is a better choice, I would say that you are the only one who can say if one is good for you or not, depending on your lifestyle, where you will use it, and of course, your own personal preference. Some friends say SB planner is better because it's simple, and some would say CBTL is because it has more features. Well, good thing I have both... Thanks Kuya, the reason why it's easy for me to get 19+ stickers is because I have a Coffee Partner! ;)

I just decided to use the CBTL journal at home because it has a lot of personal pages like the Vacation Planner, a Giving Game Plan page, a Giving Goals page, a Tap a Shoulder Tracker (which I'm planning to use as a Period Tracker)... Stuff I won't really worry about when I'm at school. Whereas the SB Planner is very simple, it has a very limited space to write for the daily schedules, but it has a spacious "Notes" section for every week.

I know you'd like to see pictures of both planners... So here you go:

CBTL Journal's first page: Personal Info

First thing I write on my planners... Personal info! One thing I guess the SB Planner editors missed. It's just weird that it does not have the personal info page. Here's SB's first page:
