Each year, it is like my personal tradition to hunt for a good planner/organizer!

As you can see, they all have a common factor --- Useful pages, enough space to write my daily schedule or makeup bookings, planner is not too big or small, easy to tote around no matter which bag I use, etc...

This year, due to my pregnancy, I seldom go out and spent most of my time staying at home instead! And if I did manage to go out, I always pack my day so full I don't even have time to pee! *just joking*

I almost thought I'll end up with a boring "refillable" planner for next year (I have a backup by the way!). Thanks to online shopping sites, I was able to score a Grassroots Patent Croc 2013 Planner at a discounted price!

What I love about this planner is the fact that I can pick my choice of color and you can also pick from Patent Croc, Metallic Reptile, Wavy Silken Abaca or Super Fine Pandan cover!

I went for Patent Croc style in Red!
Scroll further down and I'll tell you why I picked this cover style!

2013 and 2014 at-a-glance Calendar which I find to be super useful!

Daily, weekly and monthly agenda is available in this medium sized planner making it easy for me to keep track important schedules! I also love the fact that I have enough space to write and even doodle!

I didn't take a photo of the "Monthly Agenda" as I've already written the names of my friends who are celebrating their birthday on those pages!

There are 2 full pages of Notes after each month! I like writing random thoughts, ideas in this using my colored pens! *winks*

Last but not the least, the final few pages is where I can keep important contact numbers and addresses. I know it is the digital age but I still enjoy writing down addresses as I still enjoy sending snail mails!

The size of Grassroots Patent Croc 2013 Planner is not like a regular sized notebook that I expected. It is a tad bit bigger than my 2012 Planner and small enough to fit all my bags! I love how lightweight it is so I don't mind carrying this around EVERYWHERE I go!

The planner comes in 6 shades --- Black, Dark Brown, Red, Apple Green, Turquoise and Purple priced at Php550.00 (approx $13.75) bought it at Deal Grocer for Php415.00 (approx $10.37).

Okay, here's the reason why I'm so in love with my 2013 planner! It matches my Fino Wallet! :D I planned to pick the same shade but decided otherwise as I may have a hard time rummaging through my bag or I may mistakenly pick the planner when I'm looking for my wallet or vice versa! Overall, I am very happy with my purchase! Definitely a Eureka Moment!
