Okay, if asked who is the most avid reader of Didi’s site, I know who to point to (Pointing ALL fingers to Bubba). He sometimes goes, “did you read Didi’s blah blah…” and I will be totally clueless because he gets to read it first before I do.

One day, he started blabbing about this newest technology in flip flops –Fit Flop, that he read over Didi’s site. He said it would really be good for my back since I have scoliosis and I always complain of back pains. I said I don’t need the fit flops because nowadays you would always find me in sneakers anyway (even in the office, unless I have an important meeting with affiliates). My white sneakers are pretty comfortable.

He objects and says that Fit Flop is beneficial for this and that. He goes on to drop the name of Oprah. Oprah swears by it. Right.

The next big question: how much is it?

When he answered that it was a whopping PHP 3K, I said immediately, “NO WAY JOSE!!!” I am NOT going to buy flip flops that are that expensive. It’s crazy!

I remember buying Havaianas some 5 years ago that are half as much and I have never used them. It’s still in the box. What do I need another pair of flip flops for? I for one do not need an extra.

Every time Bubba remembers Fit Flop, he keeps insisting that I get one. He said he would buy it for me. Even if he buys it for me, I don’t want IT. It’s just a waste of hard earned money.

So the story goes, we were in Powerplant Mall last Saturday. Bubba spots the Fit Flop stand and hauled me there. I said I don’t want to try it on but he was so persistent. Bubba got me try it on and it was pretty comfortable. But I still wasn’t that sold. Since he is really bent on buying me one, I let him be. It’s for my “health” anyway. It also supposedly helps you burn more calories as you walk on them. Exercise while wearing flip flops?

The woman who turns everything she touches to gold backs it up.

Oprah swears by it. And most importantly, so does Didi.

On June 22, 2009, I have officially joined the bandwagon of those in UK who are in this Fit Flop craze since 2007. Thanks Bubba!

Gold Glads

June 23, 2009 by Janey

Lately, I am back to a shopping frenzy.

Surprisingly, it was me dragging Bubba to the mall instead of the other way around. I don’t think I’ve had the shopping itch since three years back.

PHP 599 or PHP 699 (I forget)

Gold Gladiator Sandals (I’m not into gladiators but this one struck my fancy. The gold is subtle and not overly loud)

Purple Flats

June 23, 2009 by Janey

I have lugged Bubba to three shopping malls: Robinsons Galleria, Powerplant and Greenhills. I hope this shopping frenzy ends soon. It’s putting a dent in my wallet. Where are the days that I don’t have the patience to amble around shops looking for goods?

Actually, Bubba STILL takes longer to shop while I take 5 minutes to know I don’t like to fuss around their current line-up and jet out of the store.

PHP 300 (approx. USD 5-6)
