Random Thoughts / Muji Day

__

I think it's amazing how I got to check out Muji a day after its official opening (though it would be amazinger if I got to blog about it right away lol). With Saizen (love the store), that japanese 85-peso-everything store, it took me so long—so long that my first Saizen experience happened at the second branch already haha.

Anyway, notebooks and pens and paper and supplies (among many other things haha) make my heart go doki doki. As soon as we entered the store (I was with Mike, Thysz and Karl), I looked for the supplies/stationary rack, died and went straight to Muji heaven. Wanted to buy so much but rationality prevailed (more like kurips) and settled for a coupla notepads (of which are still in my supplies cabinet and most likely will stay there till I buy another one haha). Oh I did buy this eco-friendly (but not so wallet friendly) bag too, thanks to Karl's effective coaxing. Had fun that day. I'm just glad that the store I saw only in pictures and online before is now here hehe.

Anyway, enough words. Here's what happened that day, in pictures.



☝ Mike

☝ Karl

☝ Thysz

☝ Why are there flies in there? Of Course, it's muji!

☝ Another shot of what Mike called a 'Muji Fly'















☝ Grrr I should've used an apron (muji no less haha). That's Muji stain from the Muji ink. Mujilol




☝ Wolo long

I love this store. Athough more less 80% of my purchases and expenses involve magazines, I still set aside some money to buy myself something, erm, non-magazine. hehe This store is full of crap useful and beautiful, although sometimes, quite novel things you never thought you'd need. Need? Or want. I just love stores that make you go "wtheck is this??"

Chocoloate texture (or whatever you call it) clear files/books. I bought one before and used it as my porfolio filer. But my teacher still has it. Hmm, I should get it back, no? These are way better than those boring and plai clear books; it even has a cd jacket inside, say, for a cd version of whatever you put there.

Organizers and corkboards. I better get one—I want a mood board.

Hello kitty plastic. The instructions were in japanese, so I was like wtheck. I just assumed this as a plastic bag. You know, supot?? Everything is 88 pesos inside, except for a select few—the ones with 55 peso tags. But P88 for supot?

Another set of knick-knack containers

And now, the WTH portion...

WTH? Oddly-shaped sponge set. For painting (art effect) perhaps? or makeup? or for the dishes? ngek

WTH? Super inexpensive speakers! I'm pretty sure though that this would sound tinny and canny (read: lata) hehe. But for P88, consider this as a toy. Or office supply that the boss (and office mates) would either hate or love. Or confiscate-able school item. Or tool for pranks.

WTH? I vant! Ala cellphone housing like it's 2000.

WTH? I need. Maybe.

WTH? Based on the illustration, it is used to cover the scratches on wood like tables or doors. This one wins the wildest imagination award.

My favorite item...tandadadan..


I should have bought two. Or three! I can't find these orange traffic/road thing anymore. Hardware perhaps? Not. I want the same thing—size color look and feel. And price!! Sorry if I had to make an appearance here..I should've covered my face ala thebaghag. hehe
