I went to Fesitval mall this afternoon to look for black sneakers that has soles that are soft enough that it would bend as I point my toes. Anyway, I finally managed to find ballet shoes that are disguised as sneakers (something to that effect). Hopefully, it will be okay. But I'm not averse to looking and buying new shoes. Me pa? Heheh I'm such a shoe person. Well, a shopping person, really, but yeah, shoe shopping. There were two pairs of shoes that I wanted - both unsuited to dancing - but they were so nice and pretty. One was a new Sketchers black shoe with red threads used to sew with soles that are in two pieces - none in the middle. I s'pose it would be okay as a dance shoe if i wham it against the floor a couple of hundreds of times to soften it (I'm reminded of Center Stage), but then, nakakapanghinayan naman, diba? 3000 din yon. It was nice. The other one was a Reebok pair of sneakers that were really soft and could possibly be used as a dance shoe, except for one thing - it wasn't black. It was gray. And so soft and comfy on my feet. Price tag: 1300++. Man. I want them... Heh.

While trying on the black pair of shoes in Sketchers... the seller guy was flirting with me. Nye!! I never know how to react to those things. I mean, at some point in time, I'd have wanted to experience being "picked up" but just give me a flirting salesman and I get all flustered and shy and bolt. Riiiiight. Where goes my womanly wiles? My ability to flirt, of which I gives me some pride? Anu ba yun... But, yeah, whenever someone I don't know gets, um, friendly, I get all flustered and tend to want to leave asap. I s'pose I might give off vibes that I'm a snob or something... but then, really, I'm just panicky in situations like that. Wish I wasn't... but there's no denying I am...

Witty Moment! We ate dinner in the master's bedroom and after dinner, I went back to the computer while my family milled about the table. My brother is, sadly, sick with an on-and-off sinat. My nephew, Em-em, had a check-up today and it was found out that he's sick with colds. So kasalanan ni kuya lahat. Heh. So my mom suggested (jokingly) that my brother sleep in their room so as not to expose baby to the germs. And I made hirit, "Ooh, a married man sleeping in his parent's bedroom..." and everyone laughed. Napaka-sinister daw ng pagsabi ko, sabi ni daddy. Tapos si Lota natatawa dahil kaka-iba daw yung sinabi ko. Si kuya, wala, tumatawa lang. Si ma, wondering what I said and how I said it. Nobody wanted to repeat it coz hindi daw nila magagawa yung pagsabi ko. Ayoko naman ulitin dahil nahiya na ako, diba? Dapat hirit lang siya na simple. Heh.

I like Christina Dodd. I like the words she uses when she writes books. I don't brag (so what am I doing now, eh?) but I like to think I've got a wide vocabularity, but sometimes she uses words that I've never heard. And that frustrates me. Why? Because I like to flatter my vanity that I know all the normally used words. And because I'm the Dakilang Tamad when it comes to searching out words in the dictionary. Hehe. Still, I like learning new words... just... not looking it up... does that make sense? Hahahaha

In a fit of insomnia... I browsed through my bookcase to see if anything would catch my fancy and a new book did. Man, I loved that book! It had a very surprising twist! I loved it! I really did. Man, that was one of Teresa Medeiros' best books! (one of? best? I guess I better work on my grammar...)
