I know this sounds pretty trivial, and some of you may have some answer, but hey, it just popped into my head.

What is it with people and Havaianas? I mean, they go out and spend a lot of money for a pair of rubber flip-flops, even though they can get it at a cheaper price? Yeah, OK, they have the brand name or something, but all I can see is that they're rubber slippers. Everyone wears them. When you wear the same rubber at home, they're called tsinelas. Sell them at this store in the mall, paint it in crazy designs, give it some name that rocks, and suddenly they cost so much?

That's why I enjoy shopping with Peachy, hahaha. When we look at stuff like that, she's the type that picks something up, takes a good look at it, puts it back and says, "I can make it myself at home." And sure enough, she comes up with something that looks even better.

Of course, one thing I hate about shopping with Peach is that she's totally contagious. If she shops, I end up buying stuff as well, hahaha.

I'm finally going to watch Narnia tomorrow. For real this time, hahaha. No more postponing. If other people's plans fall through, I'm still watching and I don't care if I go alone, hahaha.

Speaking of alone, I went to Timezone alone earlier this afternoon before I went home from work. Now I know why I like ATC better than Glorietta, hahaha. Not much people lingering at the front entrance. I was supposed to play Percussion Master first, but there were too many poseurs hanging around in front of that area, as well as those watching Percussion Freak (which the die-hard drummers prefer and hog to themselves). After a few rounds of Bishibashi, a couple of courses in Mario Kart and a hopeless game of House of the Dead, the finally left, hahaha. Of course, after a couple of rounds, I just had to embarass myself by playing against this huge yuppie guy with glasses who actually had Percussion Master all memorized, hahaha. That's when I decided to get my bum moving and go home.

Hehehe, I never really played much at Timezone when I'm with friends. I'd just be this mere spectator (except for Bishibashi) until after a couple of urging to play Percussion Master for the first time. I realized that I actually enjoyed going there alone, hahaha. Maybe because there weren't any hassles of looking for the rest of the group I was with.


Ooooh, a lot of free time this evening. Time to pop in those DVDs of Getbackers.

yes! i also think havaianas are like glorified spartans! they're obscenely expensive! :P but if i wasn't practical, i would surely be swayed to buy a pair... have u seen the store in glorietta? the designs are sooo cute. but they're freakin' expensive for a flip-flop! i could buy 2 CDs with that money!

I second... regarding the havaianas. Akala ko I'm the only living creature with the same thoughts about those slippers hahaha. Dad even said, "Ano ba yung Havaianas na yan?" sabay sagot ako "Yung parang tsinelas panligo pero may tatak na sikat. Kaya lang yung iba hindi pwede panligo kasi mataas." HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA doh.
