Today, I'm announcing Friend of PIXEI's membership discount rate has increased to ALL-TIME 10% off (was 5%). Yes! It is an all-time-all-day-everyday discount, and still tops over discounted items in my stores.

As I've ran into problems of keeping track of members, I decided to make PIXEI's Facebook Page the official membership application.
All you have to do is to [ Like ] me! n__n

Here's few Terms & Conditions:
● Member discount is valid on top with any discounted items in store. Really!
● Before paying your items, contact me with this discount code " Friend of PIXEI " and your name for verification, and I'll send you a revised invoice for payment.
● Please be nice. Do not make this a one time discount rush. Be a friend and we'll stay as friends. Unless you do not like me. T__T

With that, updates, giveaways, announcements, etc will be posted/broadcasted via Facebook, and also on my blog. I regret not updating regularly, so it is one of my new year resolution for this year. hehe... Alright now, get ready for 2011! * HAPPY NEW YEAR *
