Hello bitches~ (Hell ya I just made a CL reference xD). ANYWAY, I know this blog has been pretty fail >____< Hence, we haven't updated it for the past 6 months but we have been pretty busy :P. Last semester was pretty rough for me with school and work and then there were boy problems... anyway this is blog is not about my personal life but k-pop so let me go back to that xD. A lot has actually happened since we last updated this blog... okay, more like one big thing happened... WE WENT TO OUR FIRST K-POP CONCERT BACK IN OCTOBER :D! WE SAW EPIK HIGH OMGGGGGGGG! Yeah, it was amazing :'). We shall make a separate post for that so please be on the look out :). Besides that, we've been pretty broke tbh... in other words, we haven't bought any k-pop albums since the last review >____<. I just ordered my BTS - Most Beautiful Moment in Life Pt. 2 album on amazon today so another review should be coming in the next 2 weeks :). Yeah I know, I consider myself a BTS fan and BTS is my bias group but I am only buying their album now :\. It's just hard buying stuff for yourself when it's the holiday season ya know?! I also meant to buy Day6's album awhile ago but LOL I forgot about it after awhile and today I found out they are working on their next album already so I will probably wait on that xD. I probably could write another post about why I am a Day6 fan (*cough Jae and YoungK is bae cough*). I just texted my cousin just now to tell her that we are reviving this blog so hopefully she will help me or else it will be just me. I'm gonna try blog at least once or twice a month this year AND HOPEFULLY WE GET MORE PEOPLE READING UR BLOG :D. I am also going to try and revive my YouTube channel with some more k-pop vids and maybe some other stuff ^^. It's a new year and I'm trying to be more committed to blogging. So please bare with us and follow this blog, twitter, or my YouTube! I'll put my links down here :)

BTS - In the Mood for Love Pt. 1 [Pink Version] REVIEW
Sorry, this is a late review but I figured it's time I finally work on this (written) review since BTS will soon be releasing their song "Sick." Anyway I ordered this album on May 4th from eBay seller music-plaza. It was shipped the same day and arrived one May 19th. So it took about 2 weeks. I was originally going to purchase this album from mwave because they had a special meet&greet special. However if your read my previous unboxing posts, I've had some issues in the past waiting for my orders to arrive. Also, the chances of getting an album signed by ALL members were quite slim. I already have an autographed Dark&Wild album which I feel is already enough for me :). Anyway, back to the review, I forgot to mention that it was REALLY important for me to get this album in the pink version. First of all, when I first saw the concept photos for this album, I ABSOLUTELY ADORED IT! I really love Cherry Blossoms, and so having my favorite flower/tree PLUS my favorite K-pop group, BTS, it was just love at first sight LOLOLOL (wow, I'm weird xD). But seriously, I love this concept so much! The physical album itself, it's not my favorite... I don't really like paper covers only because its VERY fragile and not very protected. And its white... so I'm trying as much as possible to keep this album in tact and clean. The album photobook is amazing! You already know why (LOL). But besides the cherry blossoms, there is some pictures of them looking a bit emo? and some poems throughout the photobook that somewhat makes sense... It's a bit weird but it matches with the whole theme/concept so I can't really complain. The songs on this album is really good!!!!!!!!! It's kind of different from their 4 previous albums. I definitely love the title track "I Need U" the most. And not to mention the MV (original version). That was some pretty intense sh**. I also like "Fun Boys" and "Coverse High." I feel that "Fun Boys" is such and fun/upbeat/happy song to listen to. It's of kind of like their song "Rise of Bangtan." I LOL when I first heard "Converse High" only because I should of known it was coming. Rap Mon finally wrote a song about his ideal type HAHA. I think all BTS fans know that he likes girls with red Converse high tops and probably purchased a pair for themselves. Converse, you should really use Rap Mon and BTS as spokesmen for your brand, you would make a fortune xD. Oops I'm getting distracted again...anyway as for "Sick"... it's not my favorite song but I don't hate it. I will probably like it more once the MV comes out. I mean did you see the concept photos?! Rap Mon is looking hella good ;). The album in general is definitely worth buying! BTS never fails to disappoint and their musical talents just keep growing which each album :). Not to mention they sure have a lot more fans these days, I'm so happy they finally won on multiple music charts :').
BTS - In the Mood for Love Pt. 1: 3rd Mini Album Tracklist:
1. [Intro]
2. I Need U
3. Hold Me Tight
4. Expectation! [Skit]
5. Sick
6. Fun Boys
7. Converse High
8. Move
9. Love Is Not Over [Outro]
Here is an album unboxing if you want to see more
(and once again sorry about my voice/speaking ><):
OH YEAH! I forgot to mention that I got a Jungkook photocard :). I technically wanted a Rap Mon (ultimate bias duh!) or Suga photocard but it's okay. The "Golden Maknae" is still my favorite maknae out of every K-pop group xD.
AND because I got this album from music-plaza they gave me a free gift which was a GOT7/BTS unoffical fan :). Tbh, I prefer the side of the fan with GOT7 looks better than the BTS side only because the picture of BTS was poorly put together >.< Oh whale, I'm still using this fan because it's K-pop xD. Hmmm I got two GOT7 gifts... maybe it's a sign I should buy a GOT7 album next LOL :3.

BTS - Dark&Wild REVIEW
NOTE: For this review, I actually bought two of the same albums. One album is a normal album and the other one is autographed. Long story short, I thought my autographed album was lost in the mail so I purchased a regular album through another site and I ended up getting my autographed album before the regular album. So, I basically wasted my money and currently trying to sell my regular album. I don't see the use to having two of the same albums. And I don't really collect albums for every members photocards. Whatever photocard I get is what I keep basically.
I purchased the autographed BTS - Dark&Wild album ($22.99) from mwave along with an autographed Ailee - Magazine album ($15.99) (another review for that album coming soon!) for pkimhi on October 28, 2014. Both these albums were part of Meet&Greet so the BTS Meet&Greet was on October 28, 2014 KST and the Aliee Meet&Greet was a week later. Usually autographed albums from mwave takes awhile until it is shipped out and I think BTS had like 2,000 albums to sign for this Meet&Greet 0___0. Anyhow, my package was finally shipped out on December 4, 2014 and once again, I did NOT pay for shipping because I am cheap. Usually in the past when I ordered from mwave, it takes about 2 weeks to arrive (except for that lucky bag order if you saw my review for that -___-). I e-mailed mwave after 2 weeks and they said it was actually shipped out on December 12 (I guess my confirmation was wrong...) and I have to wait two more week (excluding weekends) and then I could e-mail them again. So I waited and still had no package. I e-mailed them a very angry e-mail and they said it was probably lost and they would refund me.
After finding out my package was lost, I was quite desperate for this album whether signed or not. So I checked out eBay only to find overpriced sellers. Until finally I decided to buy my album through musicplaza on amazon. The reason why I purchased it through their amazon account was because it was about $1 cheaper for shipping than on their eBay account (I am hella cheap lol). And I trusted musicplaza because my cousin bought albums from them before (her CNBLUE album & my WINNER album ^^). PLUS I heard they gave a free gift with purchase :). So I did and paid $24 total. Fast forward a couple days later (February 3, 2015), I get an e-mail from mwave saying they found my parcel... LIKE WHAT?!?!?!?!?! AND they said they would pay for my tracking THANK GOD! Fast forward a couple hours later, just when I was about to cancel my amazon order, I got a confirmation that it was shipped and ended up not canceling because I wanted to see what I would get from each album first and then sell it. The regular album from amazon arrived on February 14, 2015 and the free gift that came with the album was an UNOFFICAL GOT7 Mark photocard. I was expecting to get something BTS related but it's all gee because I am a fan of GOT7 & ironically Mark is my bias lol xD.
Anyway, my overall impression of the BTS album itself was that it is TOTALLY worth buying whether autographed or not. Packaging wise, it is okay. I rather have packaging that looks like a book. But whatever. The photobook concept is okay too. It wasn't anything really special but it fit in very well with the theme, Dark&Wild. I also thought it was cool that they had the lyrics to each song as if it were actually handwritten. Honestly, I prefer the packing and photobook in Skool Luv Affair but that is just me. As for the tracklist, I like majority of the songs. I like how their album has a different kind of hip-hop vibe. It's kind of like an old school hip hop vibe. And it fits well with their album theme. I think that is what BTS does REALLY well, they really stick to their album themes so it's like hearing a story :3. My favorite songs is "Let Me Know" and "Look Here". And of course their title songs "Danger" and "War Of Hormone" ^^. Basically if you are a BTS album, you really should buy this. I guess in the end, the waiting game was worth it :D. Oh yeah forgot to mention that the photocard I got in my autographed album was Rap Monster (my bias!!) and I also got J-Hope in my regular album :). I am quite pleased with my photocards because I got my 94' Line and I'm born in 94' teehee ^^. I actually wanted Jimin or Suga (they visually looked appealing in their photocards LOL) but I got my bias and that is all that matters ^____^. Like I said earlier, I am planning to sell my regular album along with the J-Hope photocard. I wanted to keep it but it just wouldn't feel right keeping it and just selling the album itself because I know people really want photocards lol. So if you interested, please let me know :). Price is negotiable.

Shopping on Yesstyle (review)
Thought I would review something that I ordered online. And , yes its a korean product and since this is my first "product review" (thats not kpop CD) maybe I will consider doing more? so yay~
Anywway, I was in search of a new backpack, since my old one was still good, but sadly deteriorating a little... I wanted a simple backpack, something that wasn't bulky and I could wear without looking like I was going hiking.
I came across this bag, from yesstyle. It is a Mr.ace Homme, plain backpack and comes in an assortment of colors: Red, blue, purple, gray, and dark gray. I chose dark gray, but it looks more like a dark blue?_? I didn't complain, it was my bag. mine. Plus I still like it. It was around $30, and I wanted to treat myself... which is something I often do.
and the answer is YES MAAM/SIR. There is a stretchy velcro strap that goes over the top of the laptop, but I found it kind of hard to pull over and so i don't really use it. I guess if you have a smaller laptop (mine is a 13" macbook pro) then you might find the velcro strap more useful. But i find that it still holds well without the strap.
So, that was my first official product review! I hope it helps for those thinking of shopping on Yesstyle. It was an experience. When I have time to shop more, I would consider buying from them again since they ship for free with $25 or more! (I'm a sucker for free shipping) and it came within a reasonable amount of time.

Here is the package in all it's glory. It was pretty stuffed in there, the bag was folded in half, so it looked a lot smaller than it actually was.
And I just LOVE unwrapping shit... its like Christmas without the pretty paper. Plus... bubble wrap! ^^

I was pretty satisfied by how clean and neat it looked (not minding those wrinkles). The zippers were made from like a leathery material, but it feels a little flimsy and possibly breakable? I just gently pull the zippers whenever I use them because it did break on me once, and I had to put it back with pliers.

| The thin zippers... leather? idk... |

| YAY FREE STUFF |
And of course, Korean products always come with a free thingymajig. I got this Paul Frank passport holder... I don't have a passport... but free stuff bruh :D
Lastly, the most important question: Will it fit my laptop?
