Never Again...

I was all hyped up today because I was finally given a chance to do things I wanted to do since all my family members were out doing stuffs I never really gave a damn about.

FINALLY.

After all these years of wasting my youth... -_-


So I decided to spend the day at a random music store and check if BIGBANG's SPECIAL EDITION album was now available in my country... and now that I saw it, heck! I didn't even think twice and ran to the nearest cash register.

Okay. Since this will be my first time buying a BB album... and I have undeniable perfectionism symptoms, I had to check it's every edge, corner, side, front, back, tip, bottom, top first for scratches/folds/tears/dirt/unwanted embosses/etc. Before I run any further to that cashier lady.

And to my dismay I found that the album I held had a FOLD ON ONE CORNER.

ONE.

SMALL.

FOLD.


As a loyal fan, I cannot accept even the smallest error made possible in an album I have waited for so many years to land on my country. I know, you think I'm crazy. Well hell yes I am.

So what did I do? I neared the cashier lady and asked if their was a better packaged album and she happily replaced it. YAY! :D

Just to make sure, I did my unusual perfectionism-inspection again and was happy with the result :DD

It made me more happier when I found out the album came out with a free posterrrrrr~ :DDD

And so I came back home; All happy and satisfied with what had just happened. My hands couldn't control themselves any longer because of too much anticipation. And without further having to experience the killing suspense, I openeddd iittttttt (well more like ripped the plastic wrapper like an uncivilized human)

 

And oh my god,

 

wth was this!!??

 

Now that I could clearly see the whole thing, I felt disappointed.

 

Very disappointed at what was now before my grasp.

 

The album I had just bought had so many damn imperfections!!

 

It could be compared to a second-hand item from a garage sale. Why did I not see this when I was at the music store?  Why did it look fine just hours ago when I was still there? Why is this happening to me?? Moreover, have I gone completely blind!!??

 

My happiness level just went down by 30%. Well atleast I still had 70% to be proud of.

Just when my hopes were still unmoved, I saw the contents : the booklet and CD.

 

Oh hell no!

 

They completely ripped me off with their marketing tactics. To hell with that damned plastic wrapper. Oh, and did I mention that It was one hell of a shiny damned platic wrapper? Well now you know...

I placed some bits of it back to cover the album and discovered the most unacceptable truth known to man: the shiny plastic wrapper was like a ninja. It did a good job at hiding those creases and whatnots.

 

Happiness level = 50%

Sigh.

 

The CD was FINE. phew! Lastly the poster: The condition was close to okay (because I accidentally ripped a little part)

 

MY CONCLUSION: Never again will I buy from that damned music store. No wonder there was no people in it. They don't handle their products with care.

Awwww. That happened to me too you know. When I bought GD-TOP's album Phil. version, I was disappointed too. The packaging looked like it was rushed. But then, its still good. And I got a lot of freebies such as two huge posters, 3 photocards, two YG calling cards, and a GTOP fan. So, it was all worth it.<br />

Don't worry. When we become richer enough, we'll be able to buy all of their albums, KOREAN VERSION. Don't lose hope! Hwaiting!! :D
