“Circle, circle, dot, dot, now you have a cootie shot!”
A couple of lady friends literally dragged me into buying them each a pair of rubber thongs – cheap imitation of Havaianas. I couldn’t complain. A pair costs only P37.50 and because the request came from two trendy, label-conscious people who profess to shopping as a vocation and could actually afford the real thing, I was too happy to indulge.
But there’s a snag. They insisted that I buy for myself, too. Fine.
But jusnapaynepol! All had floral insoles! In bright, sunshiny yellow, Barbie pink, and scarlet that screams harlot! So they found for me a pair with black straps. Still floral insoles. And the sizes made it obvious that these were for daintier feet. The pair that fit me was a size 10, and I’m at least a size 6 at the men’s department.
“Do I really have to get them?” “Yes! Others have friendship bracelets, we have friendship sandals! Oooohhh… I can’t wait for the three of us to show these to the rest, on our next [dental society] meeting!”.
This followed by thrilled, NO, I’d say disturbing giggles.
Arrrrggghh… women.
“Circle, circle, square, square, now you have it everywhere…”

Well we dont have Havainas here though but H and M or other stores have cool slippers too for summer.

LOL
Atleast they didn’t pick the clothes to go with the slippers too.
Don’t forget to get a pedi.

Btw, it shouldn’t be pink.
It’s yellow.

yan na nga ba ang kinakatakutan ko, ang makantyawan. hehehe.
i can’t wear either pink or yellow. i don’t want to look like marshmallow.
and yes, i regularly get a pedi. in leiu of the hair cut.
i like your new blog design, by the way.

Haha this reminds of urging my best friends to have friendship miniskirts, friendship linen pants and friendship Masferre bags!
So how did the meeting go? Did the others love your flip flops? =)

nah, i had to spoil their fun, hehe. women may get away with wearing flip flops anywhere, but i didn’t think it proper for me to wear that at a meeting.
it did serve as conversation piece while waiting for the others to arrive.
linen pants?
