Maybe it’s the stress of the final exams or the wonderful weather - but I can’t help but spend a little extra on shopping during the months of April and May. Usually, my purchases are a bunch of impulse-buy items that I don’t use more than once. Well, this year was different. I actually bought items that are useful and productive!

First one is my amazing earphone from Harman Kardon. I really like the color white, but there weren’t many high-quality earphones that are white in the market. So I stuck with the standard Apple iPod earphones, despite the horrible quality. But say goodbye to those days and welcome the days of noise-free and great quality music! Moreover, thanks to their noise-isolating technology, I won’t be deaf when I’m 50! But this isn’t everything. What I’m really really really proud of is…

That’s right, people. I’m jumping on the eco-friendly wagon. Hyeon and I went to Bicycle South in Decatur today and purchased this cute little bicycle from Dahon! The best part about this bicycle is that it folds! Yap, you heard it, it FOLDS. So I can ride to school, fold, and carry it to class. Brilliant, no? Not only that, the design is super stylish and it’s pretty! And the color! Oh, can you be anymore perfect?

From now on, find me riding this cute bicycle, with the Harman Kardon earphones plugged in my ear on beautiful weekends!

She has arrived!  She did!  She did!

Do you remember the post I wrote few days ago?  The one about Nikon D300?
Yes, it’s true.  She is finally here, in my hands.  She is mine, all mine!

So I came home from work, miserable as usual.  And then out of nowhere, Hyeon tells me that he cleaned out our messy closet.  So I’m like.. “Uhh, thanks?”  As I take my jeans off to put on my pajamas, Hyeon suggests that I should hang my jeans up rather than just throwing it on the chair.  Feeling guilty, I did.  And guess what was hiding in the closet!

Uh huh, that’s right.  Right there, staring at my eyes.  A new Nikon D300 and 18-200 mm lens.  All ready to be opened, touched, and loved.  Hyeon totally knew how much I wanted this camera.  So he secretly went to Showcase yesterday and asked for the camera so he can surprise me with it.  But seeing as how popular this camera is, it was all sold out!  Boo!  But for some reason, he returned to the store today and asked again.  The guy at Showcase told him that he was very lucky, because they’ve got their shipments today.  Actually, they received 5 Nikon D300s, but the other 4 were sold earlier today.  So yeah, we were super lucky!

I can’t wait to use my new camera.  I am so excited to test everything this camera is capable of doing.  I hope you can feel my anxiety!!  Well, I’m going to pray this weekend to be super nice so I can go out and take some pictures.
