I’m a crazy shopper and I wish we also had our own Black Friday sale here in Asia. But I could still make a go for it with those online counterparts in different shopping sites. What’s a Black Friday anyway? I used to think it has something to do with Holy Week but it actually refers to the Friday following the Thankgiving day in US, and which traditionally signifies the beginning of Christmas season.
Though not an official holiday, a lot of workers have their days off so there are more potential shoppers which led retailers to try to draw this potential buyers with lots of sales and discounts. Big retailers often open their doors to shoppers really early like 5 am. I think this is a really interesting thing and one I would like to experience myself. For now, I’m going to take advantage of some Black Friday deals online.
I’m no teenager but I can’t just help but stop and stare at these. No, I’m not about to drool over it yet {but almost..}, there is something about Kim Hyun Joong that makes a girl think of baby shower invitations, lol! it must be that baby face or perhaps that ‘hard-to-resist’ eyes, but whatever it is, I must say, this guy is just gorgeous. Almost bordering on ‘pretty’ even.
And those fans of Kim Hyun Joong would surely love to get a copy of his recently released (in Japan) photobook, which is entitled ‘Ready, Action! Why would you want to get a copy? Well, it has over 200 pages of Kim Hyun Joong photos taken back in April during a trip to Spain!
Get used to this.. me hunting for cool pink stuff, phones, gadgets, bling blings. After all, Pink Sushi is a pink lover . I was doing a search online for epson receipt printer and I find myself stumbling into some really cool tech blogs and ogling. I came across the SEMCblog featuring the Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz Smartphone in Pink!
Now this is one gadget I wanna get my hands on. It’s a beauty right? And since I’ve been a Sony Ericsson mobile phone user for the past three years I know how top notch the product is in terms of quality, technology not to mention that I love their phone camera resolution compared to other phones.
Anyway, the Vivaz Smartphone features “Symbyan OS S60 5th Edition, 16.9 nHD wide 3.2″ 640×360 pixels (WVGA) 16,777,216 colour touchscreen display, 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and image stabilization, face detection, 720MHz processor, 720p video capture, 3.5 mm audio jack, Micro USB connector, TV-out (VGA resolution), aGPS and Wi-Fi™. Sony Ericsson Vivaz™ sizes 107 x 51.7 x 12.5 mm and weights only 97 grams.”
After being caught in an almost avalanche of teasers and previews, the much awaited Taeyang comeback album has finally been released. It includes thirteen tracks and features collaborations with various artists and producers. Taeyang’s scheduled comeback is today, July 1st on the Mnet M! Countdown stage.
At least this is a happy news vs the previous news I’ve posted about. In any case, I have to say I love this album cover! Classy and would look good on promotional materials like perhaps promotional tote bags?
I’m still waiting for the album to be available here but in case some of my friends can get hold of a copy and give me one hehe, it’ll be great. I’ll have to content myself for now with these teasers..
This is cute and colorful! Sony Style Japan recently announced a Toy Story 3 version of their Sony Walkman S Series. Compatible model are: NW-S740/S740K/S640/S640K series (8 to 32GB).
Curiosity! That’s the reason why I’m posting this. I’m a mad online shopper and one of the sites I can’t live without is eBay. But if you’ve been lurking and buying from eBay from sometime, you’ll soon realize that a big number of sellers there are from Asia, most notably China. These sellers are just everywhere and they are doing good business judging by the transactions they have. They sell everything from apparel, electronics, craft supplies even e-cigarettes! I think I won’t be exaggerating if I say, name it and they have it
So I’ve been thinking perhaps goodies from over here in Asia are priced more competitively and I was also wondering if there are really legitimate Asian shopping sites where its safe to shop online and at wholesale prices.
I’m particularly looking for Asian clothes since some of my nieces are really so into that funky Asian street wear, some like those Japanese gothic/Lolita style and as for me, I have developed a liking for those really feminine Korean tops and dresses. And a lot of bags and shoes are also nice.
It’s surprising really that upon searching online, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of Aisan shopping sites! But which ones are legit and quite frankly I’m scared to purchase without learning about others experiences but also I’m excited at the prospect of shopping Asian! Sites like lightinthebox.com, dhgate.com, zipia.net, yesstyle.com etc are just some of the places online I’ve just recently discovered and I’m keen to try them out.
Will be listing sites I discover soon and would be posting reviews also of each site I’ve tried to purchase from..
For some reason, a considerable portion of my daily site traffic comes from the search terms related to BoA Kwon. Lol! And I’m about to take advantage of that.. Why not? After all, BoA is one Aisan artist I really really admire.
So what’s the latest with BoA? Well, a couple of weeks back she released the teaser video of Woo Weekend, and I loved the retro feel to it so I was looking forward to the full length video release..
Here’s the short version {teaser}
And she didn’t disappoint with her uber funky 80’s styled Woo Weekend full music video released via MTV Japan..
One of the best things to enjoy in Asia are colorful and very distinct festivals. The Solo Batik Carnival is an annual carnival held in Solo City , Indonesia. This is really interesting and the colors are just amazing! Hmm, its a very young carnival having been started just last 2008, but it looks really good. Judging by the photos I’d surely want to see this in person. I’ve been searching online though for a website where I could get more info about the festival but there’s not much…
Here’s some photos from the 2010 Solo Batik Carnival..
