What to give your boyfriend for Christmas?

It's no uncommon scenario for couples to feel apprehensive on what to give one another for Christmas. Being in this situation for the first time, I find myself in this predicament. Not only do I want to make it as special as I can, I want to give my boyfriend something that he will really like.
There are some kinds of people who really don't like or mind receiving gifts. I think most guys seem to act this way whenever they receive something from their girlfriend. I know for a fact that my Dad is like this sometimes. Rather than receiving gifts, my Dad seems to prefer being the one to give the gifts (no complaints there for me). But going back to my situation, this is where I am having a bit of a problem. I'm unsure of whether whatever gift I give him might be too girly. I also don't want to give him something that declares our love too flamboyantly. I did read a suggestion of getting your boyfriend tickets to something, which I think is brillant, but seems impossible for me to do. I did see some nice vintage-inspired toys in the department store, but I am thinking that it might give off a too-childish feel. However, I feel that he might rather like it.
I guess what really is troubling me ia getting something fot him that he will truly and genuinely like. I should continue this search for the right gift, and taking advantage of the upcoming christmas shopping nights this week.

Lost in Translation... literally!

I read an interesting article (rather, just a collection of pictures) of how when Western brands are introduced and translated into the foreign markets. What's left are rather obscure and quite hilarious transliterations of theses well-known brands.

Samsung Galaxy Note

There is a new member to the Samsung Galaxy family! Its name is called the Galaxy Note, and according to the official website, it is the creative multimedia monster of the family. It sports a bigger 5.3" HD Super AMOLED screen, the first in the world, and has a digital pen that is uniquely synced with the Galaxy Note to provide a more enriching touchscreen experience.
This mobile phone/tablet is definitely worth checking out. I'll be really interested in looking at the benchmarks of this phone, particularly how long the battery will last.

Chiffon, be mine.

Despite the advice of my boyfriend to save money and not buy things anymore, I finally bought the navy blue chiffon dress. For $45, I am finally able to be at peace of mind. Fashion-wise, I know I've made a wise decision in buying it, since I don't have a dress like it at all. However, considering the tight position I am in in terms of saving up, that's where I made a mistake. But I can guarantee myself that this will be my last purchase. The only things I will be spending on is public transport and Starbucks. From this point on, I really will hold my boyfriend's advice as my top priority to keep.

민규, 당신들을 것입니다. ^^
