New Goods From Janekkoshope

After a long wait, I finally have the goodies ordered from Janekkoshope Shop! Though it keeps me wondering why goods bought from the Japan were always a month long of waiting unless ordered from HMV and the likes.. it’s kinda frustrating.



Anyway, I am so excited to open the package even if I have a glimpse of them from the net before. Things are much better if real and near, right?! And this is quite big than my previous orders. The goods were well wrapped inside the box with this white sheet instead of the usual bubble wrap.

Then they include the U-Kiss and Super Junior flyers on it.

VIXX Can’t Say Version B Album, Krunk X Big Bang Cafe Tumbler

The first one I open is the Krunk tumbler for checking – the box is well kept and the tumbler is in good condition. The tumbler is simple and cute though it’s way too simpler compared to the Starbucks tumbler I’ve seen. Also the top is tight thus spillage is not possible when used while traveling. My little one will be happy with this gift!


Next is the VIXX Can’t Say album. I’m quite surprised that it is in crystal case which way a lot different from their bulky Korean releases and the Darkest Angel album (P.S.: this is first Japanese release VIXX album). Also there’s no postcard freebie for pre-orders which I’d really like to have. L


Shop Feedback: The owner is really accommodating and quickly send updates regarding order status. Also this shop is a good place to check on Japanese goods – their specialty. A tip though: she quickly responds via e-mail instead of messages left in their Facebook account.

Seoul 2014 Trip: My Kpop Haul


Of course, one thing I cannot miss from my trip is buying kpop merchandise and albums. Got quite a lot on the list before going here and hoping I would be able to get all.

First thing is bought albums of my top group at Myeondong. I bought BTOB’s Move Album and VIXX Error albums. Got lucky that they still have available posters! After much thought, I added Jekyll album on the stack after noticing I still have few won to shed.



Also I decided to buy few more merchandise for my collection. I bought Big Bang postcard set and post it note and VIXX sticker. I also added a Lee Minho fan for my friend. 

Post it, cards and sticker
After leaving the store, I feel bad for not buying Epik High’s Shoebox album. I thought, at the time, that I will still have enough time to come back for it.


Other goods were freebies from Nature Republic. Initially, I convince my sister to buy a BB cream aside from CC cream I chose so I will be able to get 2 postcard since the combined cost of the creams will be 20000 won. Too bad to know that it is going to be only one card to be given per transaction. Anyway, the lady at the counter gave me a Xiumin postcard for free.


EXO M set



While in Myeondong, I receive an EXO M Standee with post it set from one store and able to get 2 fans - Baekhyun and Chanyeol version at the other Nature Republic store. Too bad, there;s no more Xiumin fan available. :(




At Myeondong, there are lots of beauty product stores – Nature Republic, Tony Moly, Innis, Etude, to name a few. Each store offers different freebies to be given. This made me realize to do some checking before buying and practice convincing power to be able to get extra freebies like sample beauty products. I’ll do that next time.
