SM Mega Shoes & Bags Sale


It's no secret that I'm a sucker for sales and that shoes are one of my weaknesses. It doesn't help that I have a very supportive husband in so far as shopping is concerned. My energy level though has relatively changed due to my pregnancy. To make the shopping spree even more challenging, we had to get all items paid before 12 noon to avail of the additional 10% off exclusive to SM Advantage or BDO Rewards card holders. Shortly after 12noon, I'm a happy owner of these items:


The husband complained why I was able to get 5 pairs of footwear (plus a bag) and still paid a total of less than all the 3 pairs that he got. Haha.

When you've got a growing collection of shoes, storage becomes the imminent problem. Thank God for Japanese Home Centers! They have all sorts of things that you don't normally find in other stores at very cheap prices. The newly-opened Japanese Home Center at Parkmall is starting to become one of my favorite stores.


I don't know what this is called because the label is written in Japanese. So I had to rely on the picture in figuring how this thing works. It's shaped like soles which are in opposite direction (pic 1). The lever in between is adjustable to different heights (pics 2 & 3). Place one sole in your shoe (pic 4) and put your other shoe in place on the other sole (pic 5). The pack (which is sold at Php 88) contains 3 pairs. You can then arrange the shoes in the rack (pic 6). It saves a LOT of space! What was normally occupied by a pair of shoe is now being occupied by 3 pairs. However, this only works best for closed shoes. I hope they will come up with something for sandals and other open-toe footwear.

Three's A Crowd

Not in it's figurative sense.

I am talking about the three pairs of shoes I got recently.
I had to relocate some shoes for these pairs to fit into my small and crowded shoe rack. 

Lolo (thrifted)

My second thrifted shoes. When I saw this on the rack, I instantly fell in love with the cut-out detail and the color. It's hard to resist things in blue. Hehe. Everything about this pair is cute save for the comfort. My gawd, these aren't the most comfortable shoes ever. As they say, regrets almost always come in late. 

How to combat feet sores and prevent corns & calluses? The secret my friends is just your ordinary petroleum jelly! But please do not use the same petroleum jelly for your lips ha. Go get a separate bottle for your feet. Apply a thin layer of the jelly on the area of the shoes where it hurts the most. Then you can now walk on happier feet!

Charles & Keith
By the looks of this pair, first impression comes to mind: killer shoes! But, as in a very big BUT, this booties are surprisingly comfortable. Yes, believe it or not, I don't lose my balance with these. I can even jump, skip, bounce, and do a little walkathon. I won't dare run with these though, not for fear of falling flat on my face, but for breaking the heels. Lol.

Shoenet (Hongkong)
I am not a fan of flats, for two reasons: first, I stumble more when I'm in flats than in heels. Weird, huh? Second, I don't think I look good in it (I won't elaborate to avoid incriminating my self). But this pair may just be the exception. It is quite comfortable. And I love that I have it in black, very versatile--can be paired with almost anything. This is perfect for running on errands or simply giving your tired feet a needed rest.

Weirdest Shoes

Day 15:
(yeah, I know. Delayed again.)

I had a great session with my MALA friends tonight.
We were kidding a friend of her bisyo [bad habit as per google translate]-- 
shoes-shopping.
(Don't ask what they said was my bisyo bec i don't agree. Lol.)

I am a shoe-lover. I spend more on a pair of shoes than a piece of clothing.
When I was looking at my shoes, I noticed that I have a predictable pattern.
I am most certainly attracted to shoes with "shining, shimmering, splendid" embellishments.

Anyway, while I'm thinking of shoes, I was suddenly curious on the weirdest shoes in the world.
I was surprised at the results I got. Oh the wonders of Google!

Here they are:
I call these "The Creation by Genesis" shoes
"Goodluck sa Kubal" shoes. Lol
"Goodluck sa Tetanus" shoes
"Kumusta naman ang til-as" shoes
The Tarantula
Origami shoes.
This has got to be the original CROCS. lol.
The Manny Pacquaio shoes
The Ibong Adarna shoes
The "Lurch-of-The-Addams-Family" shoes
This, for me, is way beyond weird.


Which one do you find the weirdest?
