This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

Three of the biggest coffee chains in the Metro have been going head to head with their Christmas Planner Giveaway. Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is giving out a notebook [*available in 3 designs], Starbucks Coffee is giving out a planner [*leather bound with pencil] while Seattle's Best Coffee is giving out a tote bag, notebook, mug, ball pen, gift coupons and metal casing [*kitchen sink not included hehehe]. Here's a quick guide on the three Holiday promos.
Again, I'm one of those people getting oh-so-gaga for this Starbucks planner since 2004. I helped DJ complete and claim hers as early as the 1st week of November, just last week, JC and I completed and claimed his planner. Today I claimed one for myself. Luckily I'm a coffee addict *hehehe.
