Slippers


This is how bad my blog back-log is. I actually took this photo in October 2009 at an event in Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Summer is Here!

The sweltering heat the past week (despite some rains) tells me that summer has arrived earlier than usual. Arggghh! And I'm trying to cool myself down so I can write this post. 

Summer for me means wearing the most comfortable heat-repelling clothes and footwear and I jumped at the chance to attend and invite friends to Ipanema's launch of their campaign called "Road to 2020", a project to promote reforestation of rain forests with Haribon Foundation. We can actually help in getting the temperature back down if we plant and grow native trees. 

You might want to join the walkathon:

Walk the Green Mile Walkathon
March 21, 2009, Saturday
Parking lot near Le Souffle
Registration starts at 3pm
Walkathon starts at 5 p.m.

There's prizes to win if you join! So join na! (For more info please call Ms. Maricel Mabalot at 02-753-3647 local 103 or email cel.mabalot @ elrocom.com).

Anyway, I had a blast during the launch at Le Souffle the other night since I got to see and chat with a good number of my blogger friends - Az, Tita Dine, Fritz, Mommy Jane, Juned, Lace, Marc, GailAda, AJ, Janette, Eric, Hana, Markku, Jayvee, Mica, Winston, Sweetie, LadyCess and many more... only Jehz did not go since he was asleep, as usual (harumph)! (And no, blogger A and B aren't an item).

We were treated to a sumptuous dinner, too bad I have so many allergies so I wasn't able to taste a good number of the dishes prepared! The show performed by the Philippines Ballet Theater was totally something new and I noticed my friends watching in awe. A rare treat indeed! 



Heartfelt thanks to all my friends who went and M2.0 Communications (Doy, Cecille, Shyla etc.), ELRO Commerical and Industrial Corporation for extending their invitation to bloggers and my high school buddies, Rica and Raquel, for dragging me into this (LOLz).

Ang Tsinelas

tsinelas = slippers = flipflops

It's something that each one of us have. It's something I personally cannot live without since I don't like getting my feet dirty. The feeling of alikabok drives me crazy, and getting my feet wet drives me insane (oh yes, maarte ako when it comes to my feet).

Anyway, I got an invitation from Havaianas a few weeks ago. They organized an event to launch "Flipping for the Beach", a contest about beaches in the Philippines. All you need to do is submit an entry by May 1, 2008 about your favorite beach place. If you win, you get to go to the destination you wrote about and you'll get featured on Studio 23. This activity is done in partnership with Studio 23 and is supported by the Department of Tourism. For more information kindly email promo (at) havaianasphilippines.com.

The invitation actually made me think about how we use slippers and that's when I started gathering materials for this vlog. I showed it to my parents earlier and they were laughing their heads off. Watch and find out why -



I'm not fussy about my footwear. As long as I'm comfortable wearing it then it's gotta be good in my book. I also don't go for expensive stuff because I believe in being practical, plus mabilis ako magsawa. I got my first pair of Havaianas as a birthday gift. That was back in 2005 (the pink one) and then I bought a pair late in 2006 (was discounted at the Duty Free that's why). Both have traveled a lot already and I was quite surprised that the underside is still ribbed. Now what am I going to use as an excuse to buy a new pair?
