Design Tshirts Store Graniph



This is a store thats pretty much all over Japan. I think its a recently established store. A lot of the design seem Japanese + European. The designs on the shirts remind me a lot of 2k by Gingham or some shirts sold in Threadless. Notice they use Helvetica in a lot of their modern contemporary design. They do sell Helvetica shirts. Which i still have yet to own one...

Shirts are in pretty reasonable price. One shirt for about $26, 2 for $42. So it isn't that bad. I think the good qualities are the fact that you can get shirts in different colors and sizes.

BBC MONKEY JOURNEY TO THE WEST [HEWITT + ALBARN]



Check out the video:

As soon as i saw the monkey, i knew right away it had to do with Hewitt and Albarn. Just seeing the character design it truly is recognizable. Great opening video and makes you excited about the olympics.

GUDANG GARAM [Indonesian Cigarettes]



This is the original taste of the Djarium Black. Black is more softer and barely has what Gudang Garam has. My parents used to smoke this a lot as a kid and this was probably the main reason why i wanted to smoke, because of the smell of this cigarette.

FJALL RAVEN



A brand i recently learned from seeing a store in Tsudanumas Morrisia mall. Its a Swedish outdoor brand and something i've never seen before. The designs are interesting. Something fresh since i mostly seen North Face, Patagonia, Montbell, and LL Bean. Loving the logo with the fox on it.

CUBE by Audio Technica



So i picked up a new set of ear phones for my ipod shuffle. I was at K's Denki and found this one. It was for 980 yen which is pretty cheap. I was originally planning to get some type of headphones but ended up with this one.

I might get the headphones some other time though. It was 2000 yen and it had a nice slick design. I love Audio Technica products compared to Sonys.

Gravis TARMAC PTII [White + Shadow]



So i bought my second pair of Gravis Tarmac. I think its rare that i've bought the same pair of shoes. Although this is slight different from my creme colored Tarmac which i still have. This time its white with grey shadow colors and red logo type color. So it has a slick futuristic color scheme.

These shoes are so comfy. Although they may seem bulky, its just comfortable.

Actually I did buy two of the same pairs of Saucony Jazz. Only difference was the color variations. Sadly i don't have them with me anymore.

DJARUM BLACK



This cigarette is probably the main reason why i wanted to smoke. My parents used to smoke it and it had such a nice scent compared to a regular cigarette. So i was dying to smoke it while growing up. I started smoking occasionally from the age of 22. Still an occasional and social smoker. So i rarely buy a pack of cigarettes or basically don't buy it as much or pretty much never...
