The moment she said yes was the moment my alarm rang. I would have smashed my phone. I've had 1 snsd dream to date, and was woken up from it by a call from my professor like 3 hours before my first class. I was less than amused. ^Also, what Craton said. I was always taught to do $x in america. Which honestly, always made no sense to me because you read it "X dollars". | ||

I'm Canadian and I've always put the dollar sign after the amount, that's what it's like in stores here. I've seen the $ in front a lot online tho so I don't know I guess everyone else but us puts it in front ??? On February 16 2012 18:11 skyR wrote: Canadians don't either. It's just TuElite lol. Well, maybe it's just here in Quebec (French part of Canada), this place is retarded and likes to be different a lot lol. I had a second dream involving Nicole and something else weird happened as well but I'm saving these two stories for a later super post muhaha. Probably should've saved your 1k post for an epic Nicole blog... I wanted to man, I wanted to... I just forgot about my posts count and posted my 1k in Artosis fanclub thread by mistake... I will still do something epic (or at least try to) I'm just delaying it a little. | ||

Those are just the ones I remember though, I am pretty sure there are some that I only had a memory of for a brief second after waking up. I try and type up a short summary when I remember them though, except I forgot to do that for the 2nd Sooyoung dream so I can't remember what that was really about. | ||

And all it took to convince me were some nice solo pictures of Nicole, now that wasn't now hard was it DSP??! Should receive it in like 3 weeks because I paid for the cheapest shipping option (broke as hell right now but love for Nicole knows no boundary)... Up to 12 weeks lol that's scary. I was also considering to get the posters from Paris photo shoot but wtf, 50$+ for small posters??? Would have brought my order over 110$ no way. I don't understand why they make everything so expensive and in such small quantities (Limited editions and First Press items only). It's not like it won't sell, anything they do sell a gazillions copies in Japan. Make more and make it cheaper... Really? With all that fanboyism, I would have figured you'd at least own every KARA album.. Or at least a custom made Nicole poster About this, yeah, I haven't bought anything before. If you look at the packages for the previous albums, they're absolutely horrible, in my honest opinion. ALL of the concepts pictures and photos included with the previous albums are not of my liking. The limited edition of Wanna with the DVD, that was good, but they made so few copies... Same for the KARA Vacation DVD/Blu-Ray, AMAZING DVD but it goes for 250$+ on ebay and Amazon because it's out of press... This is the part I don't understand about the company... They have this amazing looking girl called Nicole ok. She can take a random picture off of a phone in some random backroom with ugly shoes right up in her face and yet ITS AN AMAZING piece of photography. Want proof? ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/9HhAM.jpg) She can go to the gym or sit in a car and take pictures of herself that'll give me sweaty palms a watery mouth and will have me day dreaming and fantasizing about for days. ![[image loading]](https://p.twimg.com/Ak5PJhyCQAE2Fl9.jpg:large) ![[image loading]](https://si0.twimg.com/profile_images/1529023191/image.jpg) AND YET, when I'm considering to purchase their product, their album, the package the company have worked MONTHS on to promote and make perfect, this is what they offer me + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/uxVMZ.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/5fwrx.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/f1nRf.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1E0lG.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/j9qpf.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dlWPW.jpg) Just a few example spamming different eras and albums/concepts... Sure it's Nicole and that makes it more worthy than a bar of Gold but... It pales in comparison to the everyday pictures she takes and post on Twitter. That's wrong in my opinion. How can professional stylists, designers, photographs and editors can make her look "worse" dear I say it. I don't know, maybe it's just me, maybe I'm not big on "concepts". Waht do you guys think ? Do you agree with my point of view ? Let's discuss this... Poll: "Concept" pictures or everyday picture ? Concepts are good sometimes but rarely done properly (15) Everyday style pictures is where it's at. (13) Concepts for the win! (4) 32 total votes Your vote: "Concept" pictures or everyday picture ? (Vote): Concepts for the win! Also another problem I have with buying stuff from Korea/Japan is most of the time you can't buy it from the official Korean/Japanese website. You have to use YesAsia or other kind of sites who basically buy the stuff from some supplier and sell it to foreigners. Basically what I'm getting at is how much money is DSP and KARA getting from me buying stuff on a "3rd party" website ? I don't know, I don't think it's a lot. Sure I could buy posters from ebay but my money is going to someone random who got his stuff from where exactly, I don't know. I buy stuff to support it more than to own it. And it has to be good because I don't have enough money to support everything I'd like to. I prefer giving 50$ to Karaholic or any of the official fanclubs for the girl's birthday or for a comeback support project than buy something from any online website because then I know my money is going where I want it to. But, like I said, DSP has been stepping up lately, might just be a lucky run tho; KARADISE in Paris is amazing. Not sure if it's worth 80$ tho... The Step album, really good songs but once again horrible packaging. Step DVD, Amazing and I bought it. Wall of text, sorry about that, I love writing (about Nicole). At least they are some pretty pictures sparkled in there  | ||

+ Show Spoiler [kpawp dream] + So I'm with my dad, and I'm going to go get my haircut. We arrive at this nice looking salon place, but unfortunately it's closed by the time we got there. The shopkeeper dude tells us to come back later. So we hop back in the car and drive around for a while. We decide we want to grab a bite to eat. So we drive back to the salon, but it's a restaurant now, with a giant fish tank in the middle. So we head inside, and the shopkeeper greets us again, and seats us. The rest of my family joins us, and we start eating dinner like we normally do. I'm having some peanut butter and toast, and the peanut butter was absolutely delicious. I'm finished with my individually packed peanut butter capsule container, so I ask the waitress for some more peanut butter. She comes back with a giant mound of peanut butter on a large plate. I'm surprised by such a large plate, but whatever, I've got this. After a while I've finished the plate off. However, it wasn't as delicious as before. I ask my brother try some, and he agrees with me. This prompts me to ask the waitress. I ask her,"This plate of peanut butter isn't as good my individual packed peanut butter. Why is that?" She informs me that it's KFC brand or something. Then I take a closer look at my individual packed PB container. On the side it said "Distributed by PBB. by T-ara" "oooh, no wonder it tasted so much better~" My brother nods in agreement. Well there you have it. Kpawp fuks w/ ur brain. | ||

So for now I'd say the discussion only concerns pictures. Performances and appearances are different imo. I was only thinking of the pictures when writing that post. Yea, actually you raise a fair point. There are SO many good pictures of *insert bias* but the concept pictures or album pictures rarely compete. Also, yea I didn't buy any kpop stuff until I went to korea. It just felt so right buying stuff from physical stores run.. That, or I couldn't resist once I saw the products in person ^^ | ||
