Bromide Magazine No. 55

Okay long time no update, there's an explanation - I'm taking too long to blog about their concert, I've been blogging about it for 4 days now LOL! So here's another update of something I currently have.

This is a recent issue as you can tell by the cover having album jacket shoots from Mastermind.

For readers from earlier, you might remember seeing this magazine in the BEAST shower for my friend's 18th (:

Now as some may know from previous Bromide magazines, there really isn't much happening in the issues. Even if the idols are the cover story, there's nothing anyways - which is a disappointment.

This was basically all, nothing much really like I said. But I didn't expect much from the magazine anyways because of the other issues I have. But it's BEAST so I still bought it haha!

And this is the poster that came with the magazine, with 2NE1 on the other side.

That's it for this entry, pretty short I know. Sorry for not updating frequently like I used to before, but things keep coming up with life and then I didn't think the blog about the concert would take this long. But it's a really long blog entry - just warning you now. Haha!

But please look forward to the entry about the concert, unless you follow my tumblr, then you know the gist of what I'm gonna post about anyways haha!

And remember to vote on the poll so I can do a giveaway soon! =D And please leave me lovely comments so that I don't get lonely ;__; Comments motivate me to continue posting T__T

Bromide Magazine No. 50

Yeah I really don't remember which order I got these magazines in, I'm just posting them in order that they're on my shelf. So I guess this is next! Another Bromide magazine!

With the disappointment from issue 48, I didn't expect much from future magazines that I bought.

Yeah BEAST wasn't on the cover, but their name was! Although in the picture I took it's covered by the flash, whoops LOL! As like the previous issue, it also came with stickers.

Yeah this was all that BEAST got in the magazine, as to be expected. Nothing much really. It'd probably be more interesting if I could read the article, but I'm sure I already know the gist of it since all the articles are always saying the same things anyways.

Nothing much from this issue. But I didn't expect much either.

Bromide Magazine No. 48

So when I was updating the blog with all BEAST-related things that I currently have, I completely forgot about magazines. So the next few posts or so I will be posting the magazines that I currently have.

So here's the first magazine I got!

This is also like my first ever Korean magazine. It came with star photo stickers like I assume all KPop magazines (not just Bromide) comes with? But I could be wrong.

Nothing special happening with the cover, it was just the Shock Of The New Era poster rearranged, it looked better as a magazine cover than it did as a poster in my opinion.

At this point I'd like to mention that I was in awe when I saw how much the magazine cost. I only ever bought JRock and Anime magazines and they are in the $55-$70AU range. But if I recall correctly this magazine was in the $10-$15 range. Seriously that was a huge difference and I was amazed.

What upset me with this magazine is that this was all it had on BEAST. But it's not like it was spread out unevenly. Pretty much every other group or artist that was in it had this many pages each. I was expecting at least 6 pages of BEAST since they were on the cover. They weren't just some text on the cover, they were actually on the freaking cover. But all we got were 2 pages of nothing much interesting happening.

I wasn't really impressed with the poster either. Seeing as I was used to the posters from the Japanese magazines I previously bought and the posters that came with the albums, this was just bland. It's small and like those ones you get in those children magazines like Disney Girl and what not.

And there was BEAST on the back cover. Nothing spectacular, it's a back cover, never expected much from this part of the magazine at all.

Overall I wasn't as impressed with the magazine as I was when I first bought it online. But then from then onwards I didn't expect so much from a KPop magazine anymore, but if it had BEAST in it then I would still buy it because I waste money like that LOL!

But I guess, you get what you pay for? Shouldn't have expected the same thing for something that was pretty cheap compared to something $70 =\

Lian's 18th BEAST shower

So basically my bestest B2UTY friend ever Lian, turned 18 last month but her presents hadn't all arrived yet. I got everything the other day and I've been trying to give it to her but things kept coming up.

Here's a little something I made in 2 minutes for her on the day of her birthday. She really loves this picture of Doojoon haha!

And here's the presents I got for her! =D

BEAST is in the cube! Hahah yes lame I know. But I thought this was pretty cool so I made a BEAST one for her using the Mastermind album photoshoot. It uses properties of a glass prism and refracts and it's all cool. Logically 6 members of Beast on 6-faced cube haha! I placed it in the box so that when she opened it, the first thing she saw would be Doojoon :P

Of course the others were there too but Doojoon, Yoseob and Kikwang were the main pretty ones because they are her favourite three. The other three don't really have an order, she doesn't really rank them haha!

I also bought her this Doojoon shirt in Midnight Blue, because you know, BEAST's colour is Pearl Midnight Blue, it only feels right :P I hope it fits her though, because the Yoseob one I bought for myself ended up being pretty big for a size small =\ 

She didn't open it from the packet so that's all I can show you, but I will have a picture of my Yoseob one up later in my entries as I continue posting the current merchandise that I have.

I also got her this poster from the Hot Chili Paper magazine, I decided to give it to her the day it arrived so this is a picture of my one, but it's the same thing haha!

I really liked this poster, because the texture of it wasn't paper, it felt more like a soft rough canvas sort of thing, and it was larger than the usual posters we get in the album! Not the mention that the boys looked absolutely gorgeous in this magazine. I wanted to get the DVD and magazine but they are like impossible to find right now T_T

While blogging I realised that I didn't take a picture of her magazine, but here's a picture of my one instead.

This is Bromide Magazine No. 55. We wanted it before but I forgot to order it, so I ordered it for her birthday haha! It unexpectedly came with this Doojoon card thing. I had absolutely no idea why it was there. I even flipped through the magazine looking if they had the other members, but they didn't. Damn. Haha! But it was good that her bias was Doojoon hehe!

The magazine also has other artists like Dalmatian, Miss A, Co-Ed School, 2NE1, BoA, SHINee, etc, etc. But the poster was BEAST/2NE1.

I also got her the BEAST fan balloon teehee! But again I just realised that I didn't take a picture so took a picture of mine.

I got two of them for her hehe, these balloons were the only thing that arrived on time for her birthday but I decided to wait to give it with the others! =D I really like the balloon, I blew one of mine up already and it's just in my room. I'll show a picture of it later on in my entries (:

Now of course, I can't have gotten her all that BEAST merchandise for her birthday and not get something very important! Drum roll pleaseeeeee~~~

Yup Mastermind album! Her birthday was during Soom days so Lights Go On Again still hadn't come out yet. 

Again I didn't end up taking a picture of her album since she didn't want to take it out of the bubble wrap yet. So here's a picture of my one haha! She was very happy to receive it since she didn't have it yet. I bought it during Soom promotions so this album counted towards their sales for the awards! :P

Along with this album was the poster!! When I bought mine it didn't come with a poster so I have yet to get one, but I literally have no wall space left in my room so I'm not in any rush to get it. Here's hers!

Yeah crap picture. But the quality of this poster is pretty good. And I really liked how they looked as well. This is her first album poster because she bought the first two albums without the poster. Hehe yay!

That wraps up my long blog entry of Lian's presents! Happy belated birthday Lian! I gave you a BEAST shower on your 18th! :P I'm happy that you liked all the presents and your reaction when you opened it was enough for me! (:
