“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…”

I found this article on gym etiquette and general advice from slant-6’s blog. It’s a useful reminder for all of us who have resolved to get in shape/keep fit for 2007.

I’ve been on AWOL from the local gym, and stopped doing my workouts since October. A most inappropriate time, the -ber months being the start of the holidays in the Philippines. It’s a pat on the back that I have enough will power to not feast too much on the lechon, the beer, the pasta, and the baking I sampled. But the improvement I could have attained during this short lapse could have been much, considering I lost a hefty 15lbs within 8 months of religiously following my schedule prior to quitting.

Hmmm… time to set a new diet and exercise plan and actually sticking to it.
