Walking Barefoot with Argyle Tights

Last Thursday. The day started quite all right. I got up with a groggy head and zigzagged down to the bathroom to take a shower in less than 15 minutes. Took a purple dress from the closet, put on my fave black argyle tights, and fixed my eyes and hair in record time. And when my eyes spied the time, which then had less than 10 minutes than I needed to not be tardy at the office, I skedaddled out of the house.

At the office. I got more disappointments for not getting the sales I desperately needed. Got reprimanded for not having a supercomputer for brains, thus not finishing my writing according to his highness' expected time frame. I shrugged and bought lunch. Ate while working... and tried no to fall asleep from dehydration during the rest of my shift... all because I refused to pass through the Hall of Harangues to get water.


End of shift. Discovered that my fave white ballet flats, which are over 2 years old, are falling apart as I was walking towards the mall... to the PUJ terminal. Stupid shoes. Just had to disintegrate when I was only half an hour away from home. Oh well. So I chucked the pair in the nearest trash bin I could find and opted to walk barefoot. I tried to act casual and not spy on people's reactions to the girl who's walking without shoes... at one of the city's posh malls, nonetheless. Seriously, I saw nothing because I simply refused to look. And when halfway to my destination I realized what a freaky vision I must be, I couldn't stop snickering at how I must have looked to people. I'm crazy, I know! Then when I arrived at the Ladies' Section I tried not to dawdle too much and just took the first pair that caught my eye, which just happens to be my right one. (FYI, I will never trust my right eye ever again if I ever go shoe shopping.) And I just bought the most uncomfortable slippers ever invented--I later discovered! So yes, I took the pair to the cashier's counter and paid for them--along with a cute scarf I spied. Then, I asked the girl at the counter if she could lend me a pair of scissors 'coz I'll be using the slippers right away, which in turn made her realize I was barefoot. She tried very hard not to look scandalized. It was cute. :P After that, I slipped on the hideous pair and strove to learn how not to walk funny... straight to the PUJ terminal.

Home. I frantically looked for my comfy house slippers--and slipped into house clothes at the same time--the moment I got home. Tried not to chuckle out loud at the series of unfortunate, but delightfully funny, events that day as I was having dinner with my father. Watched some TV after... and fell asleep halfway through LOTR: The Two Towers.

What a day!

A blessed month... this one we call January

Many of my friends and some of my family were born this month. I do not exactly know if they were born on gloomy or sunlit days. But I do know this, my world has been made more beautiful because they were. More specifically, four of my most favorite people in the world were January babies. *Bella Dona* (10th) She is one of the wisest and kindest people I know. She has both been a staunch supporter and chastiser in my world. She transforms into one or the other from time to time, whichever I need the most at that time. And she is among the first to turn 31 in our batch this year. Hehehe! But never you mind, Don. 31 is just a number. What matters is that your heart is in the right place. Right? Right! :D *Lovely Lola Natang* (25th) She was my first ally ever since I came out and greeted the world with my annoying baby cries. She was the one who first took care of me when my Mama immediately went back to work after my natal day. And she was always the first to enthusiasticall...

The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick

If you're one of my cyber friends, you'd think I barely read these days because of the lack of book posts I've done lately. But actually, I'm still at it... at a much slower pace, albeit. But I'm still at it. I'm just so overwhelmed with other stuff that I barely have time to write for fun, which I think is quite sad. Downright depressing sometimes, I tell you! Anyways, the last book I've finished--that I could still remember--is The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick. I've had this book for years. You see, I collect books I think I want to read and just dump them in boxes whenever my bed becomes too crowded and start to smell like an old library. So I have tons of books I've had for years but never really read. Lately though, I've been rummaging inside the aforementioned boxes because people have been asking to borrow some of my books. And the nerd in me gets excited when I get to convince people to read... so rummaged the boxes, I did. And in ...

Getting sunburned in Daanbantayan

I went to this nice resort in Daanbantayan for a weekend trip last month. And no, this is not the island, this is still within the main island of Cebu. Ley and I took the bus. This is not the bus terminal. I took this at one of the pit stops. :P It's been so long since I took the public bus somewhere that I forgot you buy the ticket while the bus is already running, not before you board the bus. Yup, I was a bit of an ignoramus that day, or a really amnesiac person. Haha. Anyways, while we were on the bus, I fell asleep. And since I took the window seat, this  was what happened... And it hurt like the dickens!!! :(   But the place was lovely.  We arrived at the resort around noon.  The place was lovely and I couldn't stop taking pictures. :D ... even when the weather got a tad gloomy late that afternoon. When dusk came, I was excited to take some twilight shots, which are among my faves. The next day, Ley and I took more...
