Lovely Trusty Ballet Flats

Cute adorable shoes are among the many things I just can't resist. But it's so hard keeping them these days... what with all the alternating rainshowers and blistering heat my city is so prone to, I could hardly keep any pair for long--unless they're sneakers, of course. Sneakers are such hardy pairs. But I could hardly wear sneakers with cutesy dresses, can I? Cebu may be a tad fashion forward these days, but it can only stand so much non-conformity. In my opinion, anyway. And people at the new office might decide to give me a memo for committing such a fashion crime. Joke! So, I have always had pairs of girly girl shoes handy around the house, just in case... especially ballet flats. I just adore them. Unfortunately, their usual lifespan is about 4 to 8 months. Sometimes, they last for about a year, which would be stretching my luck already. If they're over a year old, I usually get nervous that they'd fall apart any minute I'm out of the house. One time, I actually had to traverse the mall barefoot... looking for cheap slippers so I could go home. Thankfully, my argyle tights didn't get ripped. :P and I conveniently forgot how embarrassing an experience it was a day or so after. Hahaha. So no harm done.

Now that I have a new job, I can buy new things again. I was so ecstatic when I got my first paycheck that I was literally giggling over the treasures I brought home a couple of weeks ago. They're such delightful comfy companions for my feet. I'd hug them to sleep if I could just forget that they've been kissing the streets--both the dusty and the muddy kind. :P

Got them from Metro Ayala... and found them courtesy of a really good friend. Thanks, Yam!
And each pair only costs under two hundred pesos. Awesome! Right?

And yes, that reddish dot on my left foot is a scar, courtesy of that stupid dude on a bike that rammed into me. *facepalm*

Never you mind that. I have new flats... and they are so purdy... and so comfy... and oh so cute! Now I know why the world didn't end last December. It was so I could meet these two pretty things. ^_^

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...

The Love Month

It's finally February! Wait. What am I saying!? I still have so many things to do and not enough time anymore to do them. Yikes! I'm so in trouble! Anyways, I have finally started to feel the need to move my butt from its state of flagellation and feel the urgency to start panicking... erm, packing, I mean. But first I have to finish organizing my things at home. (Wish me good luck on that one.) And I also have to ready some official papers and just stop sleeping late and waking up in the afternoon. *sigh* Moving on. Happy February, everyone! After the Chinese New Year, it will be "Chocolates and Roses" Day! So, Happy Valentines in advance, guys and gals! May you all have someone to hug (whether tangible or intangible :P) come the 14th.

Day 01 - The Wallflower

Unoriginal, I know. Anyhoo, I've been feeling sorta low and have been trying to find some purpose these days. Then I spied my trusty D40 and told myself, "What the heck! Move your behind and start exercising those forefingers!" And so here I am trying to accomplish just that. I hope I get to see this through. I rarely hang on to things now. I'm a veritable "rolling moss" the past year or so and I hope to really break that horrid habit. So I hope this will be the first of many. :D
