Cobyness - In a spending spree!

I've been a bad bad girl this month! Spending left and right in malls because of left and right "SALE" banners! Argh! Here are the things that I bought so far:



Kipling bag.  Been dying to have one for years.



Lacoste shoes.  I don't have a decent pair of sneakers.



Blue skinny jeans, saw Park Min Young wearing one. hehe



Superdry shirt.  Been drawn to this brand because of the Japanese characters on it.  I still wish for the shirt with a big number 8 in front and says Osaka.


Accessories from Aldo.  Got 2 earrings, two bright colored earrings. One in fuchsia pink and the other one in orange!  They look like bubble gums. Oh that pop fashion in me! Also on sale was a hair clip with peacock feathers pattern and a foot cover in fuchsia pink, white and black to go with my new sneakers which is an epic fail by the way, for it is slippery.  And with that, I ended up buying a new pair of ankle socks (way cheaper and better) in Tchibo, its like the German "Ikea" or "Daiso".


Brasserie from Triumph.  Triumph seldom goes on sale and even on sale items are still sometimes pricey.  I got one in 55 AED!


My spending spree did not end there as I am accustomed and I'd rather use that word than "hooked" to online shopping! The thing about online shopping  is receiving packages.  It teaching me patience. haha! But I just realized that the rates that my bank uses for a dollar is 3.8 AED which should be 3.68, the fixed dollar exchange rate in UAE.


Online I bought, 2 books and one booklet over at intouch.org.  The package was sent 08 June and I received it 24th of June.  Just in time for my friend's birthday.  I decided to give her a book this time, so much for bags, perfumes or trinkets.  This time its for our spiritual well being  for maturity.  I have the same book for my self which I started to read last night and hope to post some thoughts about it here.


The next item is Galaxy Note flip cover in orange! yeah same as Kim Hang Ah's flip cover in The King 2 Hearts!  I ordered it from ebay.  I am wishing to have the OEM flip cover but getting it online is difficult and tricky, so I just settled for the copy/pirated/fake one, since there's no way to validate the genuineness of the cover I intended to buy.  It will come from Hong Kong, so it will be here after 3 weeks. See I told ya.. PATIENCE.



Lastly (and I hope this will be the last purchase for me this June and the upcoming July), I ordered the device for the flip cover! haha! Its funny that I bought the casing first which leaves me to almost no option for me to change the phone that I like to buy. This will be my first expensive phone, and jumping back again to the smartphone world.  Before I was skeptical of getting a full touch device as my fingers wants to feel the buttons, but  it seems inevitable nowadays. My BlackBerry was expensive too but that one was the entry level phone for BB. I am hoping to get it on Thursday but the lady said 4 to 5 days and as I reckon, this is day 1. Again PATIENCE.


Just now I realized that I have not ordered the must have MTV Unplugged of CNBLUE!  Now this will be the last!

Come On - New CNBLUE Japanese Mini Album

Come On!  CNBLUE is releasing another Japanese mini-album following the success of Where You Are!  If you have thousands of yens and hundreds of dollars, you can pre-order it over at  HMV.  Limited Edition is of course available to those who have more yens and dollars to spare.  Wonder what will be the pictures songs will sound like. Release date:  August 1.  Tracks includes: Come on, plus 2 tracks and Come on (instrumental).



Excited much! But  no matter how much CNBLUE is In my Head, and their album is asking Where You Are (why are you not buying?), acquiring their album especially the ones released in Japan are so expensive!  It is coming from an average earner here in Dubai, and I wonder how a student living by her parent's allowance would be able to afford CNBLUE's Japanese album? Its saddening that in as much I want to get hold of all of their albums I simply can't.  I really want to have In my Head, Where You Are and 392.


However, the MTV Unplugged is a must buy! I wonder if ordering over at HMV is better than ebay. It will be cheaper over at HMV.  The only thing that is missing is for me to hit the Pay button! Yay!


Fangirling is never cheap!

Ear Fun and my Ebay Woes


Since Ear Fun (the latest CNBLUE mini album) is not available here in UAE and actually outside South Korea, fans have no choice but to get this album from yesasia 0r ebay, in short thru online.  Well up to now, I still don't have the CD and its really sad that it did not reach here on time for my friend's birthday.  Her gift aside from the fact that she knows what it will be, is already late.


Everyday I checked the koreanpost website and glad that indeed the CD and poster was shipped.  But today I tried something else.  I clicked on UAE and it led me to Emirates Post website and tried to track the shipment.  I learned that it arrived 31 March! pppfffftttt! WHAT?!  Something odd came to my attention as well, it doesn't have my address.  So I called and the gentleman told me that its indeed here (Karama Post Office) and I should go there and pick it up for it don't have consignee details! mygoodness!


I'm hoping that our office driver can pick it up for me. Because I'm beginning to be a loser for not knowing other songs in that album for I insisted of listening it straight from the CD. Ear Fun, we will soon be together and will post a picture like Minhyuk! yay!
