shoe talks

One of the things that separate me from other girls is that I never really enjoyed shoe shopping. For me, shoe shopping can really be very very frustrating. But don't get me wrong here I like shoes, not as much as I like bags, but I know how to express the right enthusiasm when I see a beautiful pair.

The frustration really comes from the fact that it's very difficult for me to find shoes that would perfectly fit me. I'm a size 9, I have wide feet and I'm working on a budget. Not really a very good combination.

Just yesterday I went out with my sister to go shoe hunting. We've been through a lot of stores and spent practically the whole day searching for the perfect pair but I still went home empty handed. And while I was trying a pair in this one store, the salesman was eyeing my feet as if thinking "it would never fit". And his assessment was actually right. He already gave me a size 9 and it still didn't fit!

It wouldn't really be too much of a burden if I really had more money for shoes. But the thing is I still don't, at least not yet.:P If only local brands would be able to have their sizes more aware of people like me. I mean is it so hard to make sure that they carry sizes 9 and up? Surely, I'm not the only girl with big feet. (Hindi lahat ng tao size 7 noh!)

Anyway, maybe I'll get lucky the next time I shop... :P

confusion to confucius

She's been confused for the most part of her life. She has convinced herself that confusion can never be avoided what with the uncertainties that the world presents.

But then as life made fun of her, tossing her up and down she realizes that her main problem was she never really bothered looking closely. To be honest, she didn't really bother about so many things. She only cared for what she wanted and thought she needed. She's stubborn so she only saw the things that she wanted to see. She didn't really care if she gets hurt in the process of getting the things she wanted. For her it was all part of it.

BUT NOW, I guess, she got tired of all the confusion... of insisting on things that she never gotten hold of. I'd like to think she's wiser now and more gracious in accepting defeats. She now knows when to walk away and when to stick up for something. Confusion crosses her path every now and then, but she already knows how to go around it.

At this point in her life, she'd like to believe that she has figured out the things that she needs to figure out. As for the other things... she believes that the Guy up there is already taking care of it. =)

(Excuse me if I'm talking about myself using third persons. Sometimes it's easier to talk about myself when I think of myself as another person. :P )
