I’ve always wanted one when i was a kid. Now i can get it for my own kid.. i know she would love it .. ! The Hello Kitty comes with wings .. because she is an Angel in the clouds. The wand would light up during any incoming calls. Caller ID display shows the name and number of calling party and you can select the display languages such as English or French.

Custom Tee

Summer is just around the corner and Seafest is celebrated every summer where I come from and every year we have a hard time getting our store’s t-shirt printed on time because every store in town is doing the same thing. This year we are doing it a little different by using a reliable printing company that specializes in custom tee shirts and screen printing.

Speedee Shirts, who does T shirt printing in Pittsburgh, is our one-stop shop because they not only do custom tee shirts but also various printable products such as banners, signs, caps, mugs and just about anything wearable. It’s a perfect way to represent our business because all our employees will be wearing it during the festivities, the biggest event in town and you can count on SpeedeeShirts to have them done on time.

Pachinko

If you have never heard of Pachinko .. then you’ve never been to Japan because anywheres that you go in Japan .. there are Pachinko Parlour just about everywhere you turn. And it’s open 24hrs a day .. 365 days a year.. i believe. Pachinko rules in Japan… it’s in abundance.

Very much like the slot machines in the West, Pachinko is obsessively played by Japanese. I don’t quite understand the game myself.. because if you ain’t a Japanese .. and walked into a Pachinko palour.. you will get stared at… big time. Pachinko is an arcade style game, a cross between a pinball machine and a video game machine. Players do not win any money but they can win a number of nic naks and prizes. Gambling is an offense in Japan, therefore no cash is involved.

I cannot understand the addiction but lots of ppl are in Japan. Some are even there lining up before the Pachinko parlour opens in the morning.. and can spend the whole day there. It wouldn’t be hard to find one anywheres in Japan .. even in the countryside.. there is at least a few Pachinko Pa lour around. Look out for the ugliest building with flashy lights and neon signs, you can’t missed it.

To get around the gambling laws in Japan, Pachinko parlor comes normally with a thrift shop in the next building where the winners can exchange their winnings for cash by selling their prize.

Handmade & Handpainted Kokeshi Doll

Kokeshi dolls are beautiful handmade wooden dolls that originate from the northern region of Japan. Aside from their decorative qualities, many Japanese people believe having a kokeshi doll in their home will help prevent fires and ward off evil spirits.

This particular design is called DOUSHIN, meaning “the pure heart of a child” in Japanese. Japan’s national tree, the cherry blossom (known as sakura) decorate this one-of-a-kind kokeshi doll. Cherry blossom trees bloom just once a year which give them a symbolic meaning of a fresh start. This doll would make a fine gift for all occasions. At $65 .. it’s affordable.. and a piece to be admired.

Leaky Basement

The first store that we were in used to have a leaky basement. Every time it rained, and depending on how the winds were blowing, we had to rush back to the store and move some of our inventory away from the leaky area which by the morning would actually have turned into a mini flood. It was very disrupting and we never did have a good night sleep when the weather was bad.

Waterproofing the basement was, of course, the way to go. But like most landlords, he sure didn’t want to foot the bill if he could help it. Budget Dry Waterproofing has  CT basement contractors that specializes in basement waterproofing and they service Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts areas. Their charges are 15 - 30% lower compared to other waterproofing companies. With this kind of pricing, no landlord should refuse to repair their basement leaks like those in our old store. Free consultation, 20 yrs of experience, best warranty for the work done, professional and dedicated staff. Do away with your leaky basement now before it gets worse.

Last Sakura - Cherry Blossom

The last cherry blossom in Tokyo, Japan. This year was an extra long blooming season but who doesn’t love the Cherry Blossom season in Japan right..?? ppl from all around Japan flock over just to watch the flowers bloom.

Looks like we had an April snowfall, with the ground carpeted with white and pink petals of somei yoshino sakura, still a lovely sight.
