I’ve never really been known to be an organized person. In fact, I consider spontaneity as an integral part of my personality, my teaching and my being. This is why I’ve never found the need to get myself an organizer or planner.

This year, however, it’s different. I was given one by my wife. After getting all the stickers to complete the Starbucks’ promo card, andrea claimed the special leather-clad planner and gave it to me as a gift. I think it’s her way of saying that I should start organizing my self. Hehe! (Just kidding!)

Anyway, just so we could clear the issue, I asked her what the planner is for. Christmas was over. My birthday was 3 months away. I couldn’t think of any reason why she’d want to give me a gift. But guess what her answer was? After handing the planner to me, she said in her sweetest voice, can I have this? Then she pointed at a different planner that a student of mine gave me for Christmas! Haha!

I laughed and then I whispered back to her, that’s exactly why I love you so much! And then she took the planner and smiled!
