So Clueless

Thursday, March 19th, 2009 | 63 Comments

I was thinking of getting these mix style headphones as my birthday gift. I wear headphones daily (the big ear ones at home) but mine are boring black. I want something cute! Does anyone have these? How well do they perform if you do?




Cold rainy weather be damned!! I’m wearing my summer clothes now damnit! Just have to layer for the cold still :downarrowtime:


busted out the mesh cap anyway!
Screw winter and its neverending hold!



COCOLULU has a Cher inspired hoodie too now!! It’s only 5,900円 too! Maybe I should get this for my birthday instead!!


OK rant ahead so skip if you don’t want to hear pointless bitching!

OK I just have to rant about how stupid my neighbors are. Well, stupid & inconsiderate. Maybe it’s just the PMS getting to me but whatever, here we go! We’ve already had a bunch of issues with them since they moved here in December. But yesterday I went out on our balcony and suddenly noticed a shitload of pitch black spots covering EVERYTHING. Like paint!! On the wood, on my tables and bench, on my flower pots too! It won’t budge at all
I went over there and talked to them. Apparently they stained THEIR balcony last week and “didn’t think it would drip through the wood onto yours…” WTF!? I told them they could have just let us know and we could have covered all our stuff!!!!!!!! IDIOTS!! They apologized over and over. It’s not that they’re mean people it’s just that they don’t THINK! They offered to give us their left over stain so we could stain our balcony and hopefully cover up the damage. … God… it’s just always SOMETHING with them though!

Another example: We have lived here for nearly a year and never ONCE did another neighbor park in our spot. Spots are directly in front of your garage door so basically it’s your driveway. We’ve caught our new neighbors doing it tons of times now! The other night they had their friends park in our spot. A BLACK VAN. We went to leave. Got in the car, opened the garage door, starting pulling out… then “WHOA HOLY FUCK SLAM ON BREAKS!!” There’s a fuckin car there that blended into the night! Of course we’re blocked into our garage til they came out & moved it! We’re not going to ask them to move their cars anymore, we’re just going to have them towed from now on, fuck it. We’ve asked them over & over and they never change.

They are twice my age and just so thoughtless I don’t look forward to dealing with the balcony at all

And no, there’s no landlord. Everyone owns, not rent, so it’s not like there’s someone to go to directly to complain. There is a homeowners association which is semi- “in limbo” because the place is still brand new so getting them to act upon shit is a total pain in the ass. However, I think we’ll probably complain to the association anyway the more I think about it… whether or not they’ll respond is uncertain. *big sigh* I hate when I feel I don’t have control over anythiiing*

Sadly I don’t own those headphones, but they look really cute. I need to get a new pair too, mine are Skull Candy and a are starting to fall apart :( I like the hoodie, thought the fur trimming looks too winter-ish for me right now. And boy, those neighbors sound irritating. I say yes to harsh punishment! Call that tow truck!

I’d say get the headphones instead of the hoodie, even though its COLU They’re super cute and you can use them all year round, while the hoodie you can only wear during fall and winter.

Good point! I didn’t think about that! I’d have to wait months till I could even wear it.

I own the headphones, they are super cute but they rotate a lot (kinda hard to explain), so its a bit of a pain to wear sometimes. The actual wire is pretty short, but it comes with an extender. I think that the headphones have pretty good sound quality .

Wow, your neighbors are such !@#$~ But I don’t get how their paint dripped onto your balcony (unless their balcony is above yours). Don’t you have a home owner’s association president you can complain to? If I were you, I’d make them PAY for the damages they did to your balcony. & yes, you should seriously consider towing their cars D:~ Thats so mad rude! I’m 18, and even I know better ~___~!!

jenny said
March 19, 2009 @ 10:44 pm

Yea they’re above us. ;_; We have a condo assoc. and I think that’s why they’re freakin’ out and apologizing trying to help b/c they’re afraid we’ll call on them. I dunno, maybe we still will HAHAHAH!

Mai said
March 20, 2009 @ 2:31 pm

You should ~__~! I think they’re taking your kindness for granted and they probably won’t learn their lesson with just complaints D:

Love your layered style! I wanna get tights like yours~

wow those sound like some annoying neighbors, if you live in a town house, why don’t you tell on them to the super?!
they sound stupid =( usually for town homes dont they hve regulated parking as in, each family gets 1 and then there are public ones for when ppl come over?!?!?!

argh that sucks

jenny said
March 19, 2009 @ 11:01 pm

There’s no super b/c everyone owns (not rent) & yea, thats EXACTLY how parking works which is why it’s so WTF. It’s not MY fault they have 2 cars already and their friends (50 year old losers) are too lazy to walk from the visitor parking. It’s so lame.

emm said
March 19, 2009 @ 11:16 pm

hey where is the headphones from?!

jenny said
March 19, 2009 @ 11:23 pm

They sell them at Urban Outfitters~

GAah, its much better to buy from yesasia.com because its cheaper & I think it qualifies for free S&H :X

If I were you, I would definitely take this to the landlord. See past their “fake act,” how can someone ‘forget’ if you reminded them so many times not to park your space? So fucking rude! If you ask the landlord directly to speak with them, they’ll probably ‘think’ before they act next time.

jenny said
March 19, 2009 @ 11:02 pm

No landlord sadly, ;_; owned not rented so the process of punishment isn’t quite as easy.

Your neighbors are so inconsiderate, considering their age and how they’d be able to own a condo you think they’d know better. If I were in your position, I’d complain to the homeowner’s association, EVERYDAY! fjoiwjrwierjldk.

I’m sorry you have to live below such stupid people.

As for those headphones - I’ve read reviews on them a long time ago that they’re good for sound and cute, too! So, you should definitely get them as a birthday present and make hints to the hubby about the COCOLULU hoodie. Or the other way around he.

I would just like to say that I have no summer clothes that fit anymore. Damned freshman 15.

And your neighbors are so inconsiderate. There’s just a point where you have to stop being polite and just get dirty!

i don’t have headphones cos they’re kinda heavy and tiring to wear. but i really want a pair of swimmer headphones! i’ve seen so many people posting it on poupee but sadly they’re only sold in japan

The sucky neighbor disease is everywhere. Our neighbors actually complained about how we don’t turn up the heating while we are gone, because they have a large bill to pay.

Btw the cher inspired hoodie is so awesome ^^

March 20, 2009 @ 1:38 am

I highly considered getting those ‘phones!!
So cute. (:
I heard they weren’t very stable, since they’re made of a plastic, and have very thing strings, though.
I opted out on those and god some sweet Zumreeds. They come in bright colors and are pretty cute too, haha.

And you should egg your neighbors.
With ostrich eggs. :/

That seems really annoying. People stealing parking spots and such. Wonderful pictures and I love how your room is set up (”\(^o^)/”.

We have naughty neighbors as well, people above like to walk hard, and the people below love to have their music on blast late at night.

By the way, I see your twitter feed up there… Someone stole your stuff?

Hmm..I’ve been thinking about getting some headphones since they’re a lot better in preserving my hearing and those look really fun!

SPRING IS COMING AND I’M LOVING IT! This whole week has been amazingly warm, so the cold harsh winter will all be over soon.

When I was in New York, March 2008, I saw a few cool chicks on the Subway rocking the Mix-Style headphones. I was SO OBSESSED with them and I found them originally at Kinokuniya New York (This was before they got distributed through UO).
Check out the variety and the J-models rocking them in their adverts, mags.

Hi Cindy! Do you know if they sell the Mix-Styles in the Kinokuniya location in Seattle? I tried asking them through their store email but they will not respond. :(

I have mix-style headphones! The sound quality is very good (super bass!) and they look great. But I’ve had them a while and the coating on the inside flakes off really easily, I used to wear them everyday but have started wearing earrings again and it’s too painful to wear headphones at the same time.
They’ve been available at YesAsia for over 5 years! So though their great and (strangely) models have been wearing them in shoots recently, they’re not exactly ‘cutting edge new’ y’know. (I don’t know why stylists suddenly decided they were cool.. after I bought them.. )

Ah no, neighbours can be such a pain in the ass. It’s like what can you do? Like you say, there’s no one you can complain to, you all own your own place… it’s so frustrating. I dread this happening to me. At my parents house the neighbour used to block the driveway all the time and then even when we told him we had to get out he’d leave us waiting for twenty minutes. And he used to light fires when I put the washing out!!! I really hope you find a way to get it sorted.

About the headphones: they look gorgeous. I’m a big fan of big headphones so I’d say get them!

 
daisy said
March 20, 2009 @ 8:18 am

the headphones are cute, but i’m not really a fan of big ones like that, so i think i prefer the hoodies, they look so pretty! though i think both would look nice on you, haha xD

you’d think people that age should know better than to do things like that, it sucks that you won’t know when they’ll suddenly come up with another brilliant idea again.. hope you’ll find a nice solution to it!

 
Louise said
March 20, 2009 @ 1:00 pm

The headphones are cute! But how’s the sound quality? Ah I hate it when cute headphones have crappy sound quality. Why can’t I have both??

Let’s play some SFIV! I’ll send you an invite if I see you on.

Jenny said
March 20, 2009 @ 2:10 pm

Ohh..Hi Jenny..i’m 1 of your silent reader....
Btw..I own those mix-style headphone tho..I knew those cute headphones from some Korean MV, then i wanted it so much so i bought them ^.^.
They are really cute, but if you use it for a long time(like 2 hours or more), it will hurt your head, because there are no “soft thingy” that sticked on the band =(..i hope you know what i mean..
For the sounds, the quality is great enough..
I hope my information helps..=)
Oh and the hoodie looks sooo cute…ME want 1 too >,

jenny said
March 20, 2009 @ 8:57 pm

Thank you so much! This was really helpful! My current ones have started not working tonight too, can you believe that!? So I need to make a decision soon

Cimoetz said
March 21, 2009 @ 6:48 am

aw that’s suck..so i guess u need the new one urgent soon..
Btw..check this site ..
http://www.headphoneshop.co.kr/
There you can see various type of headphones as reference..
but i have to admit that the cute looking one only goes to mix-style ..others just got plain design..
Hehe…good luck on buying the new headphones Jen!! ^.^

You can use shopping services like crescent-shop. I just mail it to my friend who ships to me

I so want summer too! So sick of winter!

I have seen those headphones quite a lot lately. Both in fashion mags, PV and friends from all over the world :p They’re really cute, but I don’t think the sound quality is that good. For me the sound quality really matters

 
Ashley said
March 21, 2009 @ 9:49 am

Those headphones are soo cute!! I use skullcandy headphones. I have the blue lowriders. They have awesome sound quality and if they break the company gives you 50% off. They’re really comfy too!!

As for your neighbors, I’d call the homeowners associations on them. That’s so not cool. what if their car leaks or something?!?

Also winter needs to go. It’s raining over here and I’m so cold!

March 21, 2009 @ 11:36 am

I swear, we must have been separated at birth or something, ~ I’ve been thinking of getting big headphones like that too!! I want the ones at UO from their ‘Big in Japan’ themed stuff~ those are super-cute though! You should definitely ask for those for your b-day

Anyway~ I totally think you have a right to be pissed. They really should have told you about the stain BEFORE you found out on your own. & the parking thing is beyond ridiculous! I have the same problem where I live~ we have a townhouse & our parking space is clearly marked with our number, yet people still park there with no respect to the fact that it’s ours (*´Д`)=з I wish I could offer some better advice, but definitely report them to the association~ hopefully they’ll be able to do something about it for you guys!

The F21 romper looks adorable on you, btw~!

jenny said

I think you mentioned looking on ebay & stuff so that’s why I was suggesting 1st gen. Though I don’t know whether or not they can be found in electronic stores~

 
 
Becca said
March 21, 2009 @ 1:32 pm

the powah of the strata would come in handy now.. but yes, i would definitely get them towed next time! parking in YOUR parking space infront of YOUR garage is so inconsiderate!! who does that!?!

 
Ann said
March 21, 2009 @ 5:44 pm

Aww those are so cute. I use earphones (the little nub ones) and one of them failed recently. I’ll probably get earphones still though ahaha but those huge mixer ones are adorable.
Cocolulu’s mannequin looks like it’s made out of chocolate-
and wtf at your neighbors? why park in front of your garage? didn’t they think that MAYBE just MAYBE you’d want to leave your house? :/

 
hiika said
March 21, 2009 @ 9:41 pm

omg it’s the mixstyle headphones!!! i always thought that they were the most adorable things loll. sorry i cant really give you any info on them as i’ve never tried them or know anyone owning a pair~~

your neighbours are horrible!!! staining their balcony and not telling…..asdlfkjadslfjahdlf it’s usually common courtesy to tell your neighbours if you’re doing shit because the noise or smell of whatever you’re doing can really aggravate ppl….. and how dumb can they be???!! of COURSE stupid staining paint leaks!!! there are cracks between the wooden slats~~ =O=”’ are stain marks removable? because if they are, you should get them to pay for getting them removed professionally~ offering you their leftover staining material is pointless because if you wanted your balcony stained you would’ve done it youself and not waited to get all your stuff dripped on =.= and they steal your driveway? soooo immature and rude! it’s one thing to “accidentally” park in your driveway all the time but to tell their friends who are coming over to just take your driveway??? BAHHHHH call away for the towtruck jen-sama!!

Hi Jenny!!
I’m about to say the same of your boots!! I’ve a pair in that style but purple, just felt in love with ur red ones & they look so pretty with the outfit you wore!! :O now I’m jealous
Your bday gift huh I think u can get both, u buy one & ur hubby give u the other but if I had to choose I would go for the hoodie it’s unique!! and the headphones (so damn cute btw) u can find them at anytime in my personal opinion
Hope things get better with ur neighbors, it totally sux they don’t have sense of respect & consideration :S I wonder how would they react if some1 do the same to them.
TC girl!! chu!!

 
Jenii said
March 22, 2009 @ 1:00 pm

TOUGH CHOICE!Maybe…you can buy one for yourself…and have someone else buy the other But of only one…I’d rather have something I can use all the time.

GYAAAA whut thoughtless neighbors. How can they be soo…MINDLESS? No consideration whatsoever…hope you guys can settle this soon. It’s frustrating from what I read DX NG!

March 22, 2009 @ 2:07 pm

Those headphones look cute! I want one too.

You look nice in the 2nd photo with the cap, very modelish! Oh, tell me about the cold weather. I’m SOOOO ready get rid of my winter clothes but it’s STILL so cold here and I can’t stand going out in the cold with my spring/summmer outfits.

Anyhow, your neighbours sound very PATHETIC AND RUDE. How can they just park in your parkway and not ask about it? That’s just plain rude!!! It sucks that you can’t really do anything about it either. You should totally get their cars TOWED, hopefully that will get them to realize that even your kindness of toleration has a limit as well~ D:

but from discussions on soompi forums
i heard they’re not the BEST when it comes to sound quality
some have even mentioned they break easily :\

March 22, 2009 @ 3:06 pm

Reading about your inconsiderate neighbors really upsets me. I have dealt with these types of people before (but in different forms and situations). At least they apologized and made offerings (which, believe it or not, some people don’t even do), but it’s still frustrating. I’m really sorry you have to deal of these kinds of people. Hopefully…who knows, they’ll learn?

 
Karen said
March 22, 2009 @ 3:19 pm

Those headphones are cute! I’ve seen a lot of these posted on soompi forum.

Annoying neighbors are so hard to deal with! The family that live across from me have like 5 (or more!) cars. Their cars always block the road so it’s really hard to get out of my drive way. Yeah, it seems that your neighbors are good people but they are just so careless. Hopefully this will be taken care of soon!

Thanks for the comment on my blog

Now I’m cross-commenting your Twitter and your comment on my

I love that bookshelf thing! It looks so cute! Unfortunately it’s in japanese :

And you seriously had a pixie cut before???? I could never imagine that you would have such short hair! I’d like to see it though Must have looked great!

And Jenny! You know what! I went through some of my last years japanese fashion magazines again, and saw these two different models that reminded me ALOT of you!! One of them is the covergirl of Zipper MARCH 2009 and this girl who I don’t know the name of of, PS PRETTY STYLE magazine December 2008 around the title *Japanese name* meets OSMOSIS!! You look soooooo much like the model from PS! Seriously!! I think she’s some kind of japanese TV host of something. I used to browse through pictures at her blog before And she’s so pretty! I just had to say it Haha! I’ve browsed through these two magazines so many times, and every time I tell myself that I HAVE to tell you.

Ugh ANNOYING!! I can’t believe they just stained their deck without thinking! I HATE IT when people are thoughtless.

Living in condos is a pain. Where I live, our patio looks out over the pool & there are ALWAYS people hanging out on our patio to talk to people at the pool. Sometimes people jump down from a flowerbed right in front of it even though they installed steps to take them AROUND our patio. I’ve just started shouting at people saying things like “GET THE HELL OFF OUR PATIO! IT’S NOT A PUBLIC SPACE, DAMNIT!!!” Our HOA doesn’t do shit, either except to pass out fliers saying letting your cats out is against the rules because they pee in people’s gardens and eat garbage. I’M PRETTY SURE THAT’S THE SQUIRRELS DUMBASSES.

I like how I just ranted on your blog. But, I know how you feel about annoying neighbours taking parking spaces that are YOURS and being generally annoying and rude. GET THEM TOWED!!
