So I am a sucker for a fabulous pair of shoes. Shoes were among those on top of my shopping list during my days as a single woman, but has changed when I became a mom. I still buy, but not as much as I used to. I also tend to be picky when it comes to shoes (and clothes). This is why I do not buy online unless I have tried the item on. I remember a time when I purchased two (or was that three?) pairs over the internet but when I saw them in person, I was disappointed. Thus I ended up not wearing them. That’s why despite the mushrooming of online stores that sell shoes, I never tried buying. For me, iba kasi talaga yung sinusukat, hinahawakan, at inaamoy (bwahaha!).

BUT. I just might break this rule this time. Here’s why:

Reason #1: LASER BLAST

My husband and I have been talking a lot about upgrading to a house and lot unit within the next 3 years, for purely practical reasons of course. And we’re not thinking of homes for rent but rather our very own place. It has a lot to do with how big our family will be be in 3 years time, as we want to give Manu his own room by then. We don’t want to have 2 kids squeezing-in in 1 master’s bedroom – how will we ever have any privacy then?

In terms of location, we are seriously thinking only of places here in the south: Paranaque, Las Pinas or even Alabang – if the price is right. We’ve never entertained the thought of leaving this area because of purely emotional reasons, not for logistical reasons like distance from work/study, moving our belongings, and other relocation real estate concerns. Of course, we’ll also think of these but not as much since we’re very familiar with the South anyway and will have family within the area who can help us out in the search. Which brings us to another issue, that of looking for a good property. Not that we can look through the web for any postings (i.e. mls real estate or sotheby’s, et al) for our dream home, we’d have to physically visit the properties just to make sure of what we’re getting. Well, these are all future plans for the moment but you can already get a feel of what we’ll have to go through to get out next home.

It almost time for another Pac-Man big event. Rest assured that March 16 (the match is in the evening of March 15 in the US) is going to be quiet and peaceful in the morning (during the match of course) and very busy in the afternoon with everyone talking about the match, whether Manny wins or loses it. Of course, I’d rather that he wins for the sake of Filipino-pride. Ever notice that the week of the match even our politicians are also quiet? A lot of them are already booked in Las Vegas hotels within the vicinity of arena (wherever it is). Well, whatever the outcome we wish Manny Pacquiao the best of luck. “Go for the knock-out, Manny!”
