Aldo Black Boots

Monday, September 29th, 2008

My collection of shoes, clothes and bags has collected dust.  I’ve only been exchanging 2 sneakers and a couple of shoes throughout the year –or maybe since last year.  I’ve been totally lazy to dress up unless needed.  I wore my black 4 year-old boots for the trip to Macau, which I only used once prior to the trip.  Lo and behold, I had a trail mark behind me as the boots skin disintegrated inch by inch.  CW said that happens when you don’t get to use the shoes for a long time.  Good thing I wasn’t in Singapore or else I’d be doing jail time for littering.

 

My obsession for shoes and bags is making a comeback lately.  I’ve long stopped collecting since three years back.  I was all “shopped” out from all the shopping I did in college and early post-college years.  Shopping became a chore more than a fun activity.  I only shopped when necessary.

 

When he wants to go shopping, a frown forms in my face.  I take 10 minutes to finish shopping.  He can take an hour at the least.

 

Unfortunately, the curse is back and it has painstakingly seared a hole in my pockets. 

 

But, I absolutely LOVE my new Aldo boots.

Hats off to you guys for your team play, defense game, passion and poise.  15-1 is a great record and what a sweet victory to win against your archrivals.  Kudos to Coach Norman Black!  I’ve always liked your style of coaching since San Mig days.

 

Casio, good job!  There’s next year, eye on the target.  (Maierhofer… zipping my lips…  sigh, lay off a little on the arrogance pill –sorry I can’t help it.)  Keep up the Animo spirit Green Archers!
