Pa-witty shirt

While lining up to pay for bills inside the bank, I saw this printed at the back of a girl's shirt:

"The secret to successful managing is to keep 4 guys who hate you away from the 5 guys who haven't made up their minds."

It just made me smile so I had to whip out my Treo to scribble it down.


Pretty Fit not quite pretty

I don't normally buy shoes at Pretty Fit. I'm more of a Schu, Nine West, Charles and Keith, Wade and Miu Miu (only if I want to splurge) person. I'm also into the cheap but sturdy local brands that are Marikina-made.

Around 3 weeks ago, I was window-shopping with Nabeth at the Shangri-La EDSA Plaza. After purchasing some cheapo make-up at Mimi, we decided to enter Pretty Fit as we were lured inside by the big SALE sign.

I purchased a pair of black and white pointy-toe patent pumps. Since they perfectly matched my day's outfit, I giddily slid into them to wear them for the day.

Wearing them only 3 times, the rubber soles on the heels broke. I blamed this on the rocky Ortigas parking lot.

Off I went to Mr. Quickie to have it fixed for P150.

A week passed before I wore the pair again.

Walking out of the conference room from a meeting, I felt this faint "tuk" sound on my left foot. Looking down, I was horrified to see the entire left heel break!

Mentos moment talaga ito!

I had to run to Robinsons and buy a new pair of black patent heels and go back to Mr. Quickie to have the heel repaired - again! I was charged 50 bucks for it.

Whatdaff???

I paid more than a thousand bucks for the pair - considering that it's 40% off.

Total rip-off.

I'm wondering now where Pretty Fit gets their shoes made. China, perhaps?

The local brands (including B Club that I had to buy when the Pretty Fit pair broke) fair way better.

Walk This Way Manila Tour

Thank you, Carlos Celdran , for a fab walking tour of San Agustin Church-Museum and Casa Manila.

I soooooooooo love you!

You made me see Manila and our history in a different light. And you so made my weekend.

I am now officially a fan.

Friends, if you've seen Intramuros before (and I know most of you did), it's still worth it to have a guided tour with Carlos Celdran.

He also has guided tours for Escolta, Binondo and Corregidor.

Check out his blog site.


Becoming (in)famous

I'm getting hate comments on my blog!

(Check the comment portion of my last blog entry.)

Gasp!

Uuuuuy.

Friends say I should be flattered.

Infamy of any sort is still an indication of fame. Hahaha!

I guess, in a way it's true.

I wasn't negatively affected by it, nor am I glorifying the person who posted that comment (which by the way I won't delete even if I have the capacity to - just to display the tastelessness of it all).

For one, blogs are supposed to be expressions of personal tastes and viewpoints. If you are offended or displeased by someone's personal blog - then STOP READING IT.

It's actually your choice to piss yourself off.

If I am feelingera?

OF COURSE!

That's why I have a blog.

Darling, if you find whatever is written here despicable, then do yourself a favor:

1. Stop reading my blog.
2. Create your own blog. You can bash me there, too - but thank you for the plugging.
3. Get your own life. So you can blog about it!
   

Masama mainggit.

Stop sending so nega vibes and spread the love. ;)
