How typical, a post dedicated to shoes and men.
"It's too late, you missed the boat."
How fascinating, at both my meals yesterday in groups of 4, I had my chair pulled out for me and a member of the male species wait for me to sit so they could push the chair in. Simple chivalry is not dead after all, contrary to popular belief. How delightful.
Having a little problem with the wireless internet connection at home, so am only able to pop online now and then, when I manage to steal the ADSL modem and all those wires from my dad's/sis's computer.
Have one last episode of Grey's Anatomy to watch, which would conclude the tumultuous relationship I've had with it. It's a surprisingly good substitute for a boyfriend or even a life. Haha. Yes but only for a week or two, really. Pity it took somewhat of a downhill around the second half of the second season. Or perhaps watching about 7 episodes in one day is too much a dosage for one day.
If shoes were men.
Every girl needs shoes. Whether its the gorgeous to-die-for USD$400 Manolo Blahnik stiletto heels or the simple SGD$10 slippers for casual wear, they love them anyway.
Slippers, birkenstocks, heels (1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4), stilettos, wedges, espadrilles, pointy-toed heels, closed-toed heels, round-toed pumps, kitten heels, yoga soft-soled shoes, sneakers, and the list goes on. Even though I have them all, there are only 2 or 3 pairs which I actually even wear. And one of them, I wear 99% of the time. The white birkenstocks, which started out pristine white and hard, but is now not-so-white-and-more-like-grey, cushy and comfy but wearing out at the heel edges of the sole. Maybe it's like that too, with men. Starts out new and perfect, but when you get to know him better you realise that as with every other human being, he is flawed as well, but becomes more comfortable to be with as time passes. You like it so much, you only wear that pair except when situation dictates that you can't. But funny, it's possible to wear it out too much until it is in a sad condition and needs to be replaced.
And then when you replace that pair; that pair of shoes which you feel so comfortable in, which matches all your clothes, never bites you and has been with you almost every single day for the last few months - you simply cannot bear to throw it away. But a week or two after, a month or two later, when the new pair you bought to replace it grows on you, even though you said at the start it'll never be the same again without the old one, you start to forget about the old pair, and the new one becomes that one favoured pair which you never get sick of wearing.
The transition period is never easy, though. So take care of your shoes if you want them to last.
And sometimes, it feels good to wear that pair of gorgeous stilettos which flatters your leg shape and boosts your height, making you feel absolutely beautiful.
Pity about the blisters though.
I think this only works for me though, because most girls do actually wear different pairs of shoes every day. Perhaps they rotate between 4 or 5 favourite pairs, and the rest they just wear once in a long while.
But well, I'm running late once again and so I shall just conclude here for now.
