It's Not Over.

Well, another Christmas has gone and surprisingly it was better than lasts years feeling a little more Christmasy (although it seemed everyone else wasn't) but feeling a little more Christmasy is different to having a good Christmas Day. Then when you think everything is finished another crazy day comes. End of Christmas and January Sales. This day I sum by saying 'It's Christmas shopping but you are shopping for yourself.'

After getting the old money in Christmas cards I went into town today. Apart from town today just seemed to be another shopping day in town. This is because the only half or even less I had money off in the sales. The only thing I had money off was a Razor set which was £15 pound and I had it for £10. I only wanted Razors but they are so expensive I could get a hold new shaver with shaving foam and moisturiser which is surprisingly cheaper than 4 Razor Wow.

Now also Sale is different to Discount and this is what I got in Game Station after going there numerous of times and buying games I now only release that they offer student discount. Why I have not idea, shouldn't students really be studying rather than playing on game consoles (Me) NO.

So if I would give shops some advice, don't call it a mega Sale if not everything is on offer or everything on Sale.

Forget What I Have Said Before

Ok, if you are a frequent reader of my blog (which I hope quite a few people do) you might have read the blog post Where are we going? (click the link to view the post). In it, it says that I don't really want technology to develop as fast as it is. FORGET IT.

On Friday I went to St David's 2. The 4th of July 2006 was the start of demolition for St David's 2. Just over 3 year and the time has come. Stepping in was like stepping into another shopping centre in London and even a Mall in America. Interactive maps to show you where shops are and what shops are on what floor.

The smooth and sleek style of the whole place, the shine from the walls and floors of the place which most likely won't last, but I hope it does. The music throughout the store pumped through me with enthusiasm. The layout and design from the stores seemed the same but made it better as I was in a totally new place. Shops open and loads more to come.

One shop I was loving being in was the brand new Apple shop. Everything new, old and even thing not made by Apple (I was talking about the applications on the iPhone and iTouch). There was about 10 of every type of product to test, even the latest Apple mouse but I hope it's not like how I tested and it was just a fault on the mouse. Up is down, vice a versa and the same with Left and right. It's about 5 times as bigger than the Apple store in the arcade in town.

Also the shop Cult was there. Now, I am wear quite big sizes, to be Pacific XXXL and possibly one size bigger. Now because of this, it is almost impossible to find a clothing in town, the only place which clothes would definitely fit me is High and Mighty down St Mary's Street. I don't really like looking at clothes which don't fit me, but in Cult it was totally different. I don't really give people money or even lead only if the desperate, but my brother didn't have much money and wanted and really nice top. And I said that I would lead him the money, but sadly he didn't get it.

Thats only just two of the shops I saw there, and I am going back in tomorrow. So properly another blog post to come on St David's 2.

Old is the New Best

I have found out recently after discovering online shopping that old is the new best. As I quite careful with my money, when shopping online, it is very rarely that I spend a huge amount of money (over £10).
I mostly buy Cd's on Play.com as they have deals all the time. As I went through a stage of not buying any Albums and I have missed out on a lot of amazing albums. Some of the albums I have brought are the 'All American Rejects - Move Along.' The All American Rejects have sure pulled of this album with a various sounds and easy to pick up lyrics. 

When my money comes in, the All American Rejects third Album. Everyone knows producing a edition of something is very risky, but hopefully they can pull it off as good as they did with 'Move Along' 

As well as 'Fall Out Boy -Infinity on High' is another one of the best albums I have owned and listened to along with All American Rejects. Their range of music shows their capability to reach a wide audience and compose all different types of music. Fall out Boy have produce many albums (over three), some were not so good and some are amazing including 'Infinity on High'.

Old can be the best in these cases and I guess if i want to buy their new albums coming out and some extra ones which I wish to have, i.e. The Killers, Green Day, American Rejects and some more. If I want to purchase their NEW albums under a £5 or £10 then I might need to wait a while when old is best.

I guess new can be best as well, LETS GO SHOPPING.

Thoughtless Conversation

We today had went into Cardiff City Centre town for a massive 4 hours shopping. Ending up only going in 5 shops (how I do not know). Then leaving town I said
"This is the most I spent in town before" (Only spending £30)
Mum complaining "I came to town with you and I come out spending money which I didn't want to spend."
Now think, how many people go into town and end up not spending a penny I corrected her.
A simple Solutions to solve this; DON'T GO TO TOWN.
