...ice breaker...

Sobrang busy nitong mga nakaraang linggo kaya walang blog... Pero finally, I have one experience worth blogging...ang aking muling pagsugod sa ice skating rink. This time, sa MOA naman para naman matry ko.

Hindi naman ako ganun ka-inutil sa ice skates...I've tried twice with my boyfriend. Pero compared to him, talagang hindi ako marunong. Nung Megamall days pa, ilang pasa at ilang semplang ang inabot ko. Kaya this time, sabi ko sa sarili ko I'll take formal lessons na. Excited talaga ako bumalik sa rink. 250 for 2 hours of skating and 150 for 30-minute introductory lessons is not bad at all. Mas maganda din ang rink at ang facilities sa MOA unlike sa Megamall:

• Barcode and entry at exit system
• May shoe size indicator at nalaman ko na 4 lang ang size ko sa skating shoes eh 6 ang kinukuha ko sa megamall.
• May bilihan ng food sa loob
• Libre ang helmet na LATE ko na nalaman!
• Olympic-size ang skating rink at walang poste na nakaharang sa gitna

Bad timing nga lang ng pumasok kami. Sakto na nilinis ung rink which already took about 30 minutes...sayang sa time! Ayun, mabait naman si kuya instructor ko. Although, wala cyang ginawa kundi makipag-kwentuhan sa friend niya. Kahit papano may mga natutunan naman ako...Here's a recap:

• Kapag nao-off balance ka, bend your knees and slightly bend your back while you are holding your knees
• stretch out your hands para mabalance mo ang sarili mo
• dapat papunta sa side kapag gina-glide mo ung skates para di ka matapilok

Medyo masakit lang sa talampakan ang skates lalo na para sa mga flat-footed tulad ni bf. At siyempre, nagkaroon ako ng pasa sa may binti ko dahil sa shoes. Less than 2 hours of skating and 2.5 falls (hahaha! may .5 pa tlga!) but its all worth it! Here are the pics!

dopie...naked shoes for naked people...

I was able to watch 100% Pinoy tonight and they featured slippers and flip-flops. They featured Liliw, Laguna, Havaianas and the topless sandals. Well...the Havaianas and the topless sandals were all trend setters but nothing will beat my Dopie sandals. I knew about the sandals through Us Girls last year (June or July) and I fell in love at first sight. I was really excited and I told my boyfriend about it. At first, he doesn't like it and he was hesitant to buy. I was disappointed because I wanted buy similar pair of Dopies for us. =( I've been bragging him almost everyday but he doesn't really like it. But one day, in one of our phone conversations, he just said that he saw a guy in the MRT wearing Dopies and he liked it when he saw it personally. At last...he likes it!

Since it was nearly his birthday, I decided that I should give it as a gift to him. Sadly, on the week before his birthday, I called every Chocolate Clothing store but there were no available sizes for both of us. Huhuhu... I really waited for the next stocks to come that I even called the distributor to ask when the next stocks will be delivered to the shops. Fortunately, we got a pair of Dopies in Chocolate Clothing in The Block. We got two pairs of RED DOPIES (lovers!). Since then, it was happily ever after for us and our Dopies.




The good thing about the Dopie sandals is that it is really comfortable to wear and its unique design catches every eye. I don't see a lot of people wearing it and we always catch people staring at our feet when we are wearing them. As if they wanted to ask where we got them, but I don't want to tell them! =P My mom even asked how much I bought them but I don't want to tell her the price because she'll get MAD! Totally MAD! My aunt and my cousins liked it. One of my cousins even texted me to ask where and how much I bought it because she saw them in a store in MOA and she likes to buy one coz they're really cute and one-of-a-kind. I have been wearing these sandals almost everyday especially during casual days in the office. I can wear them indoors and outdoors. During our company Christmas party, this is the only footwear that I brought along, nothing else. It was really comfortable to wear it feels like you're not wearing any footwear. The straps are provided for beginners and you can remove the straps if you don't want them or you are already comfortable not wearing the straps (I haven't tried removing the straps yet..)

It's really wonderful to have a pair of Dopies. I'm loving it! I can't get enough of it! I want to buy more pairs! Hopefully, my budget would allow me in the coming months. =) Or hopefully, my boyfriend gives me a new pair for my birthday ** wink wink **

I want my cinnamon roll...

Ever been in a bad day? All you wanted is a piece of something to cheer you up, but then you don't get it. So disappointing! Crap! I wanted that cinnamon roll badly...I'm craving for it the whole day...I went to Starbucks just to buy one. I know its partly my fault that I didn't check the contents of the bag before I left. I should have checked it while I was inside the cafe. Ohhh! I really felt bad seeing that the bag doesn't have my precious cinnamon roll..it was something else...I can't go back since I was already in the cab.I don't even know the name of that pastry and it smells really bad although it still has cinnamon in it. My cappuccino lost its partner. Now, I'm still craving...I want my cinnamon roll!!! huhuhu :'(
