I'm currently taking a short Dal Ja's Spring break. We're at the point in the story where happiness between the OTP is shattered by bitchy secondary girls and lots and lots of misunderstandings. I always have trouble watching these parts (why I haven't finished Densha Otoko yet, despite only having two episodes left). So yeah, short break. A short break that involves me watching My Queen.
FYI: I'm planning a huge picspam / pimp post of Dal Ja's Spring when I finish (only 5 episodes left). I already have pic categories planned.
Anyway, on Saturday I got one of my Big Bang packages; stuff not sold on YesAsia or DVDHeaven. Specifically the CD and Diary/Planner they released for their FILA campaign. The CD had three songs on it, all new (as far as I can tell), including the FILA song, and Dae Sung's trot single 날봐귀순 (Look at Me, Gwi Soon), which is weirdly addictive. There's one more, but for some reason itunes didn't import the song name correctly, and I have no idea how to translate the Korean, so yeah. Also, the diary is REALLY thick, and filled with amazing pics from the FILA photoshoot (including a bunch of group pics with little white kids!). I'm highly pleased by it all!
My first thought upon seeing the cover was; "Wow! That's pretty hot!", and second thought was; "Holy shit GD! He needs to EAT". Seriously, look at him. You can't really see in this pic, but his ribs are visible. He's always been thin, but recently people have been noticing he's gotten a lot worse. Poor baby needs food. And rest. Other than GD's protruding sternum and ribs, the pic is hot. But man, I'm starting to worry about him.
The back with a tracklist. Even the packing for this is nice!
Opened. The CD has the image from the front of the case on it. The part on the left is a fold out ad thing. I like that picture of them. GD doesn't look as thin. And Dae is smiling, as he should ALWAYS be.
Ad part folded out. It's advertising the shoes/bags they're wearing. Um... I want Big Bang sneakers! They're probably guy shoes though. My feet would be too small. Well, maybe not for Asian sizes. Hehe! I'd be a size 245/250 in Korean shoes! Turns out, they do have women's shoes. And damn, I want these
Part of the fold out thing. With BB's signatures. The signatures correspond to each member, like that's Baby's signature over his picture. I was proud of myself; I can now identify TOP and GD's sigs (granted TOP's is easy). And Baby's is easily recognizable too.
The planner is a lot nicer than I thought it would be. It's good size (6.5" long, 4.75" wide), and pretty thick (over 0.5" thick). Sorry for the American measurements. I don't do metric well for length measurements. On the other hand, American liquid measurements are lost on me; I don't understand stuff unless it's in milliliters/liters. ANYWAY, the book is really nice. The cover is thick and plasticized, which is good for me, since I tend to rough up stuff that hangs out in my purse.
The back. Not exactly sure what's going on in that picture. You know, I just went to the FILA website advertised on the bottom of the book, and guess who's the Spring 2009 spokesmodel. Paris Hilton. Lovely.
The book is filled with amazing pictures, but it was REALLY hard to take pictures of. I managed two. And yes, my bias is shown. Of course. In the book, the left page always has a photo. The right page is either blank, or had a calendar on it. Anyway, on the left GD does his cute "GD-face". The right is blank (well, there's a faded BB for FILA symbol on it. The outline you see there is the next page's photo (incidentally TOP).
The other book pic I took. TOP looking fine. This page is part of the weekly planner. It's cute, on the left page at the bottom is has a place to track your finances.
Throughout the book there are a lot of awesome pictures that were never released, including some super cute ones of the guys messing around with each other. There's one in particular I like of GD elbowing Baby in the stomach.
I just looked up these items on star-thots.com. The FILA Diary is selling for almost $100 there!! I got it for less than a quarter of that.
Haven't watched episode 3 or 4 of B&W yet, so no spoilers for me! I'm planning a massive comment reply today and tomorrow as well.
And oh! Huge playlist is coming sometime soon! It needs editing, but I'm working on it!
