Habang nag-aayos ako ng mga laruan ng anak ko nakita ko ito sa box nya, hehe! Dati kapag meron ka nito totyal kana, hahaha! See how things change? Kung dati importante ka at nirarampa ka , ngayun itatapon kana lang! Wala kana kasing pakinabang -Blackberry Hehe! Buti na lang hindi napephase out basta basta ang tao. Though we got older we still have some value. Lalo naman kapag friend kita , hinding hindi kita itatapon , kundi papahalagahan kahit umabot pa tayo ng isandaan☺️ #Blackberry

After the rain , it only got hotter this afternoon so we had ice cream for snack. Ice cream is one of my comfort food. It has a calming effect on me . Probably because it's cold? I really don't know actually, lol! A tiring day as usual and i'm going to doze of early tonight coz i don't have much sleep last night. Goodnight noisers!
@grey23espartinas
It suddenly rained so hard without any warning. Though lasted just for a while and now it's sunny again. Goodness , weather is quite confusing just like me sometime? hahaha! Anyway, just had our lunch and i'm having my dessert at the momwnt . Some leftover cake from yesterday's birthday celebration of my cousin mixed with chocolate icecream, yaaay! heaven! #icecreamcake

"Best Day Ever!" No:73-09 October 16,2022 I woke up early as usual at 5am. After uttering a little prayer , i grab my phone and check some messages and other sites then of course here at read. With a cross finger before logging in , hehe! Rusty has'nt visited me for days kasi since the glitch , that's why i am hoping to see him in my notif. And it seems like a good start of my day coz Yes! He's back! That feeling of "kilig" when you were notice by your crush ? Ganun! hahahaha! It'll suddenly give you a high , good vibes enough to last for a day! So after reading some articles and leave a comment i logged out then rise up to open up my little store with a positive vibe , that was before 6 am. That smile , that's how "kilig" i am, hahaha! And just as i'm opening my store i saw my cousin heading towards me while scratching his head with uneasy smile. He has credit on my store amounting to 1,100 php plus or around 22$ way back from July , goodness anong petsa na ngayun? hahaha! Anyway i was surprised to see him that early and to add more with my surprise he asked me how much he owes me, and i was like, huh??? Really?? lol! But yes ! He paid me the exact amount of 1,142.00php . Imagine at 6:05 am and you'll receive two consecutive blessings already? First from Rusty and second from my cousin , ang saya saya lang! ( i am so happy!) . This should always be the start of a day ! As my 6 year old son always say when seeing a bright day " This is my best day ever!" lol! =÷=÷=÷= Of course waking up is on top of the lists of my blessings everyday. Aside from a great morning , this day is also special coz it's my cousin's celebration of her birthday. Tomorrow is her birthday but since they live in Quezon City which is 1 1/2 to 2 hours drive away from us(Bulacan) she opt to celebrate it earlier with us coz she has work the next day. Me and my sister prepared some food for her like Kare-kare , grilled fish and liempo, and pancit canton. My cousin arrived together with her mom and dad past 1 pm. We are all starving so we dig in just right away after singing her a happy birthday song. We treated Alec our cousin as our youngest sister. She used to live with us during her younger years . We talked about how naughty she was during her childhood and how she would cry whenever her playmates wants to go home. Now she's a fine young Lady , Celebrating not just her special day but also the growth of her career. We spent the day eating and laughing. They leave past 6pm and promise to come back on holiday this All Saint's day. And to make my day really great , i received a message from her saying thank you and i love you. Such words melt my heart. While writing this , i got hungry and upon checking the box of pizza , i was so delighted to see that there's still a slice left ! Geez, isn't it a really great Sunday ? I was able to say " Best Day Ever!" Time check 11:36 pm , i'm about to eat the last slice of pizza. Want some? Thank you always for the read . That's how my Sunday went. Hope you had a great one too!

A Time For Making Up No: 72-08 October 14 ,2022 " `That's when I realized what a true friend was. Someone who would always love you- the imperfect you , the confused you , the wrong you - because that is what people are supposed to do. "- Unknown` I have a smal circle , aside from my two lovely siblings which are my besties too, i have 5 more besties. Three from Highschool and 2 from my college years. 2 of those living in the other side of the world, the other one from Manila and the rest from here in our province but still far from my place. They are my closest. It's not the long years of knowing each other that connect us but the feeling we suddenly felt from the beginning. I guess in friendship there's also what you call " soulmates". Having the same wavelength but has different attitude but nevertheless click and be friends for life. That light feeling and vibe from the very start. You don't have to push or force yourself from liking them , it's naturally coming out. If we only focus on our inner self , there's an invisible force like magnet that drawn people together to be friends with each other without much effort. From a random place or event someone out there is waiting to be your closest comrade for life. If someone is destine to love and be with someone then there's also forces that bring people together for a true friendship. === Just recently , one of my bestie's husband died of Acute Leukemia . Who would have thought that she would be a widow too soon. I was guilty upon knowing it coz i was not checking on her lately . I got too busy in my store and other hustle that i forgot to say hi or hello. My own world was too occupied with so many things. As they say there are lots of things on my plate that i don't know what to do first sometimes.I am guilty of neglecting my friends and i admit it. And so last Wednesday , October 12 as promised , i paid her a visit. Upon seeing her in front of their gate waiting for me , my eyes are already in tears coz i see her about to cry when she sees me. She hugged me so tight as if to let me know how vulnerable she is right now . I could feel her trembling. I could feel her deep pain through her sobs . I let her to release all her pain by letting her cry , by listening to her stories of their journey in battling the sickness of her husband and by letting her know that this time , i'll make time for her. If she needs someone to talk to , i am just a chat away. I will listen and be her crying shoulder just like the old days. By the way , i was welcomed too by her lovely dog who sat beside her all the time i was there, as if consoling her fur mommy for the lost of her husband. Pets could really be an awesome companion huh? They could sense if their owner are sad and will try to comfort them in their own way. i apologized for the time i was not there to atleast comfort her and give her a hand . In times that she was too worried and can't think of what to do in conquering her fears upon learning her husband's condition. But as a true friend , she understands. She understand that i am busy too with my own life. She has no grudges nor huff for the days that i was not there. I am relieve to hear such from her. That's when i realized how true friend she is , she understand , she love me the way i am , even when i was wrong , when i'm confuse and when i don't have much time to give her. She's still consider me as her bestfriend despite my flaws. I was the one who suppose to comfort her but seeing her i was comforted too. I am truly grateful for having a friend like her that it's worth keeping till the end of our days. I prayed hard to the Highest to give her enough strength for i know in the coming days , it would be harder for her. I came home late at night and it was the first time for a couple of years that i was caught late in the road. I was 1 1/2 travel time from our place. But it was worth the travel coz i know i was able to comfort her and be with her in her trying time. And when i leave , i saw her smile. Though still in tears but with a smile and promised me that she'll cope no matter what. Till next time bestie as i bid goodbye , i'll visit again for sure. Thank you for your time dear friends.

And it's all because of a Stapler :) No:71-07 October 11 ,2022 A week ago i was organizing the items we purchased for our little store and i was looking for my Stapler so i could staple the chips and other items in a piece of long cardboard and hang it tidily but i can't find it. Funny how i got easily pissed whenever my things are not into it's proper place where i put them. Most of the people who knows me well keep on saying that i am a very patient soul. I don't freak out easily nor seen by them got mad over petty stuff but geez! little did they know that if you want to piss me off then go mess my things and for sure i'll give you the tiger look and roar! hahaha! I can't stand seeing mess around , it gives me mental stress. I hate it when i can't find my things when i'm about to use it and somebody in the house will tell me that someone borrow it. Well, it's fine with me to lend some things though it pisses me for real when i am going to remind the borrower to return what they borrow or i'm gonna take it myself. Aaaargggh! I have to breath deeply and calm myself first before going to get it myself coz i might snap at them, hahaha! That's how pissed i am. And oh! boy ! as if they are testing my patience for real, they lost my stapler! They can't find it and pointing to each other who uses it., goodness gracious! I feel like i'm going to explode sa sobrang inis! Jusmiyo! lol! So i went home straight to our fridge to get some water to gulp, yes gulp so it cool me down easily. === We don't have plans to go out last Sunday but i need to buy a new Stapler. I'm using it almost everyday and i hate borrowing stuff. A cousin neighbor usually borrow my stapler often so i ended up giving her the stapler and buy myself a new one. And now another neighbor borrow my stapler and misplaced it, they can't borrow my new one anymore , promise! hahaha! We wen't to a small mall in the nearby town with my little one and he's asking if we could eat in his favorite fastfood but i refused , hehe! tipid,tipid! Instead i told him i'm just going to buy fresh chicken and fried it the way he wanted it so her elder sister would enjoy it too. A thousand bucks won't be enough for all of us , and i don't have extra budget for it now. Save up and enjoy later is my goal. Besides , we are just going to buy a new Stapler, nothing more, hehe! My youngest sister whose with us treat us and bought us Coconut Shake before heading home. And yes , i was able to buy a stapler, i'm not piss anymore, hoho! And so i hurriedly cooked the fried chicken for lunch when we arrived and made some gravy too. It only costs 170.00php for 8 thigh pieces and we have Coco shake as drinks and dessert as well. Is'nt it a lot of savings huh? We've got to enjoy our meal with less than 200php and free drinks. And to make my day really great , we also got some freebies from the supermarket . A can of mushroom and 400grams elbow macaroni . Later in the affernoon my sister used the mushroom for the Tuna pasta that she cooked for snack. A lovely and blessed day is'nt it? The dissapointment i got from my neighbor was replaced by a very good day, hehe! === Kidding aside . Our way of life is quite simple . I hate relying my life to other people. It's not my cup of tea to bother them with some petty stuff. I don't like borrowing things so i make it a point to buy all the necessary things in the house. Even the smallest things. My neighbors are borrowing even needles, threads, scissors and other stuff that i can't seem to stand . But hey! ask me for some food and i will gladly share it to you . But messing and borrowing things from me and you won't return it? naaaah , you'll definitely trigger the other side of me. You'll piss me off for sure, hahaha! Thank you for your time readers. To all my lovely Sponsors! "Salamat ng Marami!" alabyu all! `All images are all own by yours truly.` grey23espartinas

Uy tumataas na ulit ang points ko sa Puregold Card ko. I was able to used my points many times already. Dimo namamalayan pwede na ring pang grocery yung na accumulate na points in time. Laking bagay din , for this year twice ko na sya nagamit . 1k at 500 php and now nasa 600+ na ulit. Dyan kasi ako namimili ng mga paninda para sa Tindahan ko. Sulit di ba? #PuregoldRewardCard

I am Guilty of not being with her , When She Needs Me the Most😢 No: 70-06 October 09,2022 Aaaaah , i don't mean to write sad stories for the whole week but what was suddenly occured makes me really sad. For almost a year now i seldom visit my social media account coz i want to keep my inner peace , away from the toxicity of the social media world. And i should say i love the turn out. I am an introvert , for those who care to know. Being busy in my own world , my time seems not enough. Partly secluded life makes me more comfortable and at peace with my innerself and focus on my family and love ones. But did i overdo it somehow? I honestly admit i was not able to check on my close friends lately and i do not know what is happening in their lives for quite some time now. This year i feel like i have found peace and fulfillment in this site that it occupied my free time that i am truly guilty that i lost my time with them. Not that i lost interest to be with them , i only have a small circle and i truly love them all. We don't meet often nor talk regularly but when we do , it's like we have just continue what we have left from our last get together . No adjustments, no sorries, no insecurities. It seems like only yesterday and we would just continue talking and laughing. Catching up from the lost years . That was always our settings. No sulking or resentment towards each other. Am i too Complacent ? Just last night , i was bewildered by the message of a close friend, asking if i was able to go to a close friend. I was clueless, i told her i was not into social media for almost a year now and i don't know what's happening lately in the outside world and yes including my friend's life. 😢 Then i was shocked with her news that a husband of our close friend just recently died due to Acute Leukemia. I was horrified and felt truly guilty coz i don't know what's happening around . I don't even check on her for the past months that i felt guilty i was not there to comfort her or give a hand . I immediately message my friend and said sorry for not being there when she needed me the most. Believe me, i don't really feel good about my being too complacent. I feel sorry for her lost. I know how hard it is for her , for them. I guess i enjoyed my solitude for too long i forgot to check on my closest friends. They are going through rough roads that i am not aware of . One of my motivation to survive my covid days was my closest friends. I told them i want to grow old and enjoy our senior years with them. Dining out and enjoy the 20% discount when we reach our senior years. Realization I realized that life is really short. And if it's our time to go we can't do anything about it and no one will be ever ready for our demise. So might as well be kind and good while we still have a chance. Make amends, say sorry , say thank you often and appreciate all the things we have, people around us , mostly our love ones and people who stand by us through our ups and down. I realized that though i enjoy much my solitude but my close friends are also valuable to me. They are part of my life that i can't live without. I love them and i want to be with them , in sunshine or in shade. I am not just a shadow that would leave them in their darkest. No man is an island as they say , and it's true. I need my friends with me , i want to share my life with them , my journey , my sadness and happiness. I realized that LOVE must be shown , not just being said . We must check on our friends from time to time. We won't know if they need us badly unless we ask. An extra effort will go a long way. A simple " Hi and Hello" may give hope and enlighten their day. I must let them feel that i love them by being there when they needed me most. In conclusion Ai , as i fondly called her is one of my bestfriend since highschool. Her late husband was a good man , i know how broken my bestfriend for losing him so sudden. I will pay a visit to her on Wednesday as it's Pareng Ambet's 9th day. May he peacefully rest in our Creator's loving arms. That's all for tonight. Thank you for the read. May we all have the chances to catch up with our dear friends. To all my lovely Sponsors " Salamat po ng Marami"! `Lead image from Unsplash and the rest are screenshots from my convo with my friends.` grey23espartinas

"A dead tree will not suddenly fall upon it's demise. It will continue to stand for such a time unless you pull it down. " Just like the death of a special someone , the memories will continue to stay unless you intentionally wash it away. Though sad as it may seem we choose to let it stay and stand in our hearts to eternity. Be grateful always for a new day coz we'll never know how long we are going to stay in this world. Magandang umaga sa lahat! I am beyond grateful to witness another day . Have a blessed Sunday to you all.
@grey23espartinas
Just last night i realized how really quick our life could be. How we are suppose to check on our friends from time to time . We tend to forget them somehow because of our busy life. One of my bestfriend's spouse just recently passed away due acute leukemia and i did'nt know about it coz i am too busy and secluded myself from social media for almost a year now. I am guilty for not checking on her lately. Another day should really be thankful for. For waking up gives us another chance to see this world while others not. Be grateful always. Have a blessed Sunday to you all.
@grey23espartinas
" False friends are like our shadow, keeping close to us while we walk in the sunshine , but leaving us the instant we walk into the shade." I have a small circle but all of them walk with me in my darkest days , behind my back to catch me just in case i fall and infront of me to clear the road for me. ••Bulanglang •• for dinner tayo ngayun mga mates! Healthy eating for tonight☺️

If Doctors can Tell it to You Straight, How About Me? How can I Tell it To My Mom? No:69-05 October 07,2022 *" I was trembling as i got the result of my mom's biopsy ... my eyes are blurred and clouded with tears i ko can't see clearly the people in the lobby as i walk away from the receiving section. This can't be real! ".* January of 2015 when i got married . A 2 1/2 year of relationship brought us in an Altar . Prior to that event , i don't have plans to quit my job. But after 3 months of travelling from the office to our home then in Alabang everyday , i got tired. My office was in Quezon City and travelling to and from the office took me 3 hours everyday. So i resigned and planned to look for a job within the vicinity , a work nearby from our home. A month just pass by and my elder sister asked me to go home in our province, and so i did. I never thought it would be the start of another journey in my life. Where faith , our faith will be tested so hard. That was April of the same year when mom told my sister that she felt a lump on her left breast and sometimes it ached. So after a few days they went to a doctor. Upon check up ,mom was referred to a surgeon for further diagnosis. That was the time that i went home and learned that she has a breast lump. The next day after i arrived , we immediately went to the Surgeon's clinic that was referred to my mom. The doctor immediately scheduled my mom for an operation to take the lump out in her breast. According to him it was quite big already and to avoid further problem it was needed to be remove. After processing all the necessary documents and different laboratories and various tests , mom was scheduled for an operation at the end of that same month. The lump taken out was as big as an egg already. The operation lasted for a few hours coz there are various small lumps all over her chest and armpit. The doctors made sure that there's nothing left. I was there with my mom together with my aunt the whole 3 days of her stay in the hospital. I was the one too who brought the specimen to Manila Central University for biopsy. If we want to, the hospital can do it for us but we have to wait much longer for the results , like one or two months as the surgeon said. I don't want to wait that long coz we want to know exactly what to do worse comes to worst or pacify our weary hearts and sleep with no worries after the result. So after my mom was discharged from the hospital , i went to MCU for biopsy. I was told that i will get the result after two weeks and if there's an unlikely result it will take another week for further testings of the specimen to make sure of the diagnosis . I drop by to my previous office before i went home that day. I was hoping and praying for a good result. When i went home , i did'nt tell mom that we can get the result of biopsy after two weeks. I don't want her to fear the two weeks waiting period. I was also inform in the doctor's office that if there's no problem with my mom's biopsy then it would be release after the said time but if tberes a diagnosis then it will go beyond the scheduled date. I don't want her to think of the possible results if it goes beyond so i just told her that everything will be fine. Mom was displaying a positive aura during her recovery period. She loves to garden. After just a few days you would see her in her garden , busy with her orchids and various plants. It's always a nice feeling to see her smile. Two weeks gone by so quick and i made a call to the lab office following up the result. I was told that it's not available yet. So , i was disheartened coz i know now that the result is not good. And so i was informed over the phone that the result is available already and i could just get it in releasing section of the lab office. I went ahead without telling my mom that i was heading to get the result of her biopsy. I just told her that i'm going to meet my officemates and have some kumustahan. While walking in to the lobby , i kept on praying , praying that it won't be that bad. Praying that my mom's condition is curable , praying that we can manage whatever the result it is. I went straight to the releasing section and handed the receipt to the woman on duty and she handed me an envelope after she checked if its the right one then smile at me somehow. I did'nt open it at once. I took a deep breath first before opening it. I was trembling as i got the result of my mom's biopsy... My eyes are blurred and clouded with tears i can't see clearly the people in the lobby as i walk away from the receiving section . This can't be real! When i was on the ground level i looked for a place that i could seat. I saw a big tree encircled by a cemented structure and seated there for i don't know how long , crying... sobbing .... I let everything out by crying and i don't care about the students and people around looking at me . I just cry , cry and cry and cry. After collecting myself , i get up and went to a mall. I called up my aunt and asked her to meet me there. Upon seeing my mom's sister we hugged each other tight and i was sobbing again , we both cried so hard. I told her that mom has Stage 3b breast cancer and it was already metastasized meaning spread in her other body organs to which we have to find out soon by series of testing again. We found out later that she has lump already in her lungs and liver , upgrading the stage of her cancer to Stage 1V-B . I was wondering how doctor's get all the couraged to tell their patients the bad news as if it's just a clogged radiator of a car that needs to be cleanse then will work great again after cleaning. I was so numb i don't know how to tell mom the bad news without breaking out myself. So my aunt accompanied me in going home and geez! believe me it was the most terrible thing you could ever tell to your love one. The most heartbreaking story you could ever tell. Telling your mom that she only has a little time to live. We told her we are going to fight for her life , and she sob too hugging her didn't seem enough to comfort her. My youngest sister whose working as an OFW in Japan that time promised to do her best to sustain mom's medication. We all did our best , we fought the battle hand in hand , we are all wounded during those 1 and 5 months of war against cancer but we lose , we lost our mom. And now it was 16 years after the battle , the wound is now a scar. We may be wounded but realized in the end that we never lose mom at all coz she will always be in our Hearts in eternity. We are more way stronger than before , ready to face whatever battle that this world may we stumble. Life must go on ... Thank you for your precious time always! To all my Sponsors !

Goodnight lovely people ! See you all tomorrow. 🥱

The Saddest Farewell No:68-04 October 06,2022 ***October 4 ,2016 ,*** *mom was just scheduled for a blood transfusion. She still manage to stand up and went to the bathroom accompanied by my sister for a quick shower before heading up to the hospital. She has stage 4 Breast Cancer and cancer cells metastasized in her other organs such as lungs and liver.* ***October 5 ,2016*** *she went home ... lifeless.* Yesterday it was her 16th year in heaven. My first born was only four months then. It was ***June of 2016*** when i gave birth to my first born. Mom accompanied me to the hospital. I was admitted at 8 in the evening but gave birth 8 the next morning. She keeps on going to the nurse station whenever i cried for pain , asking the nurses if it's not yet time for me to be brought in the delivery room. I was walking inside the hospital room back and forth , i could see my mom's worried face. I manage to smile a bit to wash away her fears. Then i told her the aircondition of the hospital room was too cold for me so she adjusted the temperature to suit me. I told her i want to lie down coz i can't bear walking anymore. During the whole night she was holding my hands as if trying to grasp and absorb all my pains. Night went by but it seems like an eternity, i will squeezed her hands so tight whenever i'm in labor pains. She would keep on going back and forth to the nurse station, scolding them hahaha! Only to be told by nurses that " ***momi*** ***matagal pa po yan kasi nanganganay "*** until morning came and i shouted so loud she hurriedly came in front of me and voila , she literally held my first born first hand. I gave birth into my room without my doctor, not inside the delivery room. My husband whose working far away just arrived in the morning. The nurses in duty was scolded by my OB-GYN big time and so with my mom, more intensely lol! . Anyway i gave birth safely with my mom so no worries at all. Now my first born is 16 years old. === Two months after , mom is busy with my daughter's baptism. You'll never see a hint of sickness , you'll never know that she's undergoing some medical procedures due to her cancer if you are not aware of her condition. After the baptism we went back to Alabang where we live. It was in the middle of September 2016 when my sister called me up and told us to go home coz of mom's frequent visit to the hospital. She's in pain most of the time during her last month. There are times during our stay at home that i would see her in our bed talking to her grandchild. Sometimes at wee hours in the morning , i would secretly follow her and she would go downstairs and crumpled in the sofa putting towel on her mouth and cry in pain... She does'nt want us to know that she's in terrible pain that even her medicines for it can't do anything about her pain anymore. It was the most heartbreaking scene we got to witness all our life. Until now i can't seem to understand why she had to experienced such pains. While all her strongest day was full of sacrificed already , raising us her 3 children as a single mom. Bearing all the difficulties of being an Overseas Foreign Worker just to send us to College. Disregard the chance of being married to her fiance coz she wanted us ,the three of us to finish schooling first. She does not deserved any of that pain yet still she suffered and tormented for real. I don't comprehend why her life been sad like that , why we were not able to be given a chance to make her life easy and cimfortable. That's the only regret i have in life , regrets that i was not able to give her what i want for her. A house and lot , a car , a life that she won't have no worries financially coz she was gotten from us so soon. She's only 51 then . We have lots of plans for her after we graduated and starting to work. We want her to enjoy life . We want to be with her physically coz ever since we were a kid she's working nonstop to provide for our needs. She always bid goodbye when it's time for her to go back to work , she does not want us to send her to the airport when she's about to leave. But we always cry , we always miss her upon kissung her goodbye. October 4,2016 , she was scheduled for a blood transfusion . She managed to stand up accompanied by my sister to the bathroom for a quick shower before heading up to the hospital . I was told by my sister that she has to stay for a night in the hospital for the procedure. She asked for a congee and a boiled egg so my sister look for the nearest fastfood to buy it then she glady ate her meal , her last meal. Then after the blood transfusion she dozed off. At 4 am there was a commotion in her room , the doctor was called and told my sister that her blood pressure is down to 50-50,until 40-20 and so on. Until the doctor allowed her to go home as she wished prior to her blood transfusion so i could talk to her in her last breath. The chief nurse is my cousin and he took care of everything in the hospital so they could bring my mom home. My cousin was driving so fast while my cousin nurse was on check of her pulse but sadly , just 5 minutes away from home , her heartbeat stops. I can't seem to react upon seeing her lifeless. I burst into tears for how long i can't remember. I was holding and embracing her tight telling her that " it's ok mom i know you tried to bid goodbye to me " , you can rest now peacefully .. === That was the saddest goodbye but somehow it gave me some relief that she won't suffer anymore. Probably she has a life free of pain now for 16 years. A blissful life that she truly deserve. But then again , i or we badly misses her. I wish she could just take a peek of us , in our dreams perhaps , so i could hug her tight again just like the old days. I want to see her smile and be able to say that " Mom, we are perfectly fine". Look at your beautiful grandchilds , they are all fighters and bright just like you in the past . We love you mom! Thank you for your time reading. To all my lovely sponsors!

The Soles that Left Cinderella! No:67-03 October 05,2022 *The Soles that left Cinderella, hahaha! My daughter hilariously told her story to us when the sole of her shoes fell off and left in the lobby while she's walking. lol! Maaaa! Ayaw nyang sumama sakin sa paglakad, napagod at sinukuan nya ako agad! huhu!* Yesterday we went to a mall in nearby town to buy my daughter another pair of school shoes. She's in Grade 11 and the school requires a two inch heels . Their face to face classes started last week of August and it was 50% ftf class scheme at the start. Next week they will implement the 75% ftf classes and that means 3 or 4 days a week until it goes back to a normal set up prior to pandemic. So why am i going to buy her another pair of school shoes? So here it goes... My husband send her to school everyday and fetch her too after school. Her school is 15 minutes drive away from our place. Over 5km away from our home . Going to and from to school is not a problem. They started their face to face class last week of August. Twice a week she's going to school and the rest of the day of the week was online. Over a month now since then. We bought her a pair of shoes together with all the stuff needed in school prior to the opening of class. Yesterday when she was fetched by her dad , i heard them laughing when they arrived. I heard my daughter calling me and tell me that she has a surprise for me.While laughing she handed me her shoes 😂 ! Hahaha! it's sole went off ! As in the whole sole and heels. Goodness! What happen i asked? I was just walking at the lobby and the soles was left behind,hahaha! as she told me. Her best buddy volunteer to buy her a shoe glue , the one who immediately stick to the surface in seconds but they did'nt know how to use it properly the glue just dries up before they even attach the soles.Epic failed ! hahaha! They tried to fix it , yeah so she could used it again but after that and she tried it , naaaah it crumpled, hahaha! So she manage to attend her last class with a sole less shoes, lol! We bought a new one yesterday and this time i asked the sales lady why the sole of her shoes suddenly fell off. She told me that the shoes we probably bought a month ago was an old stock. This time i made sure that the shoes we are buying are new stock and durable . === So heres why the soles of her shoes disintegrate or fell off. The sales lady explained to us that due to pandemic , most of the unsold stocks are probably still out in the shelves of the store where we bought her pair a month ago. Shoes , especially the synthetic ones could only lasts for two years even if it's unworn. The materials and adhesive used dries up making it stiff and even crumpled in time as i said even if it's unworn or unused. The moisture , warmth and humidity hasten the shoes deterioration. Sometime ago or years back ,shoes were made by skilled craftsmen such as shoemakers in Marikina. When it was said that it's made in Marikina , rest assured that it was made of robust , durable and long lasting materials. I used to buy my shoes around malls in Cubao where Marikina made shoes are being sold. It's worth every penny you have spent. " Mananawa ka sa tibay" if you're waiting for your shoes to deteriorate before buying a new one well that day won't come first. Sadly nowadays , shoemakers from Marikina suddenly stopped to manufacture , more businesses shut down from recent years. Only a few i guess manage to continue the shoe business. And it was also a sad fact that modern shoes that is made from synthetic materials should'nt last much longer. It is more advisable to buy a new pair instead of repairing it coz repairing it is much costly. And so here's her new pair. She's wearing it now for school . The sales lady assures us that it would lasts beyond a month, lol! It would be enough to last until she finish her Grade 11. And lets see where less than 1000php or 20$ worth of shoes would take her. I would like to believe it would last upto next year. Crossing my feet , rather my fingers hahaha! Thank you for your time reading. `All images are all mine.` To all my lovely sponsors!
