Didn’t find your perfect planner in last year’s SPOT.ph story, “10 Power Planners?”  Here, more choices for 2010.

1. The I-was-supposed-to-get-that-coffeehouse-planner-but-I-got-fat/broke-on-the-10th-frappe Planner 2010

Perfect for: The anti-establishment
Why you should get it: Called “Not The Planner” for short, this one pokes fun (in Taglish) at the various planners available in the market. It features original artwork by Karl Castro, the artist behind the book cover of Ricky Lee’s Para Kay B, for each month. Quirky notes (“Happy 32nd birthday Papa Piolo”) and quotes (“August: Kung single ka at unhappy, four months na lang, pasko na. Ni-remind ko lang din, but you can panic”) give the planner a playful punch. It also has yearly calendars, customized scratch papers, and a “useful and useless” conversion table. Setting itself apart from most planners, Not The Planner is square (6×6 inches to be exact). It is wire bound and the cover is stamped with a metallic copper artwork.
Extras: Unapologetically none.
