Wedding Proposal

To witness a wedding proposal in public is priceless. But to be part of it (well, technically I just walked behind the soon-to-be Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Cruz AND ate salad. LOL.) is a totally different story.

Here's what happened...



Congrats Patrick and Cielo!!!

I was crying when Pat started his speech until he gave the second ring. I cried again when I watched the video this morning.

Oh, and Johnoy Danao, you had me at Secret Garden. LOL. Ang galing ng version mo, swear.

Congrats as well to my friends at 81 Events. We did it!

Here's the same video posted on Facebook.

If the shoe fits...

I love shoes! That was an understatement.

As much as I wanted to buy all the shoes in Manila, I can't. Mainly because:

1. Most of them are small for my big feet.

2. I can't afford them.

To be honest, if the shoe fits and I can afford it, I'll buy it! Or sometimes, I hoard them. :)

Like this!


Before you judge me, please allow me to depend myself. First, my last purchase of shoes was many months ago. Second, all of these, I bought on SALE!!

Shoes #1 & #3 - I bough them on sale at the Bonifacio High Street. Both from Charles & Keith. The two them costs around Php4,000. Sale price is less than Php 2,000. Not bad! It was around December and during that time, I was thinking of buying 2 Melissa Shoes on ava.ph. I tried on some Melissa shoes at Shang first, before buying them online [because of my big feet, remember?]. Unfortunately, my odd feet don't fit on both size 8 & 9. Melissa doesn't have a half size. It turn out to be a good sign because the 2 Melissa shoes costs around Php5,000.

Shoe #1 is a peep-toe flats. It's soft on my feet, so there were no blisters. It was a good buy!! I wore it to work with jeans, weekends to malls with shorts and to my cousin's wedding in a short summer dress.


Shoe #3 is a pointy-toe-pump. (I had to google it!). Looks like an ordinary wedding shoes, no? It's comfy, too. Although, with my current weight, I don't think I can walk on this all day. I wore it to work on jeans and slacks.

I didn't realize that both shoes are light colored (white & off-white) until we were home. Shoe # 3, as I said, looks like a wedding shoes. Shoe # 1, can be worn at the reception when the bride changed for her second dress. LOL.


Shoes # 2, 4 & 5 - I bought two weeks ago in Payless (Paseo de Sta. Rosa)! All of them costs Pph1,200. I'm not kidding! I was not supposed to buy shoes (or anything) before my credit cut off, I said that to myself. Pero, hindi ko kinaya! Hahaha.

Shoe #2 is a sling-back heels. Original price is Php1,250. I have not worn it yet. It will definitely be good on a dress, jeans and skirt. I'll try to wear it this week. Good luck sakin, ingat sa tapilok!

Shoe #4. Brouges. Original price is Php 1,450. Confession: this was the last pair, size 9. Medyo masikip sya. Pero, go lang! Diba, lumuluwang naman lahat ng shoes?? Bwahahaha.

Shoe #5. Wedge. Original price is Php 995. I love wedges. I wore this to work, 3 times already. All of them with jeans. Well, 4 out 5days, I'm on jeans, eh. Very comfortable at first. Pero kasi, malapad ang paa ko, kaya medyo masakit sa may unahan, pag matagal.

I think it's a steal that I bought 5 pair of shoes to the tune of Php3,200. Agree?

It's even cheaper than a pair of my current fave shoes. Haha.


But, I tell you, this is the most comfortable shoes I have worn in my entire life! I wear this almost everyday, since I bought it. Muka na syang kawawa. I'll definitely save up so I can buy my second Anthology! :)

I don't want to justify my shoe addiction love for shoes, but I know that I only buy when I have extra cash. In this case, it's my 13th month pay!!!

Well, my next shoe purchase will probably be in a very long time. Unless, another shoe fits..

Happy shoe shopping!!
