Three Pairs of Shoes

Oh no… these are not my sandals and shoes. I cannot afford to have these wide arrays of footwear. I took this photo using my cell phone from one of the shelves inside a shopping mall in Ayala, Makati City. Secret… I am not telling the name of the store. I do not want the store to have a free ad in my blog. I could not use my camera, lest the security guard might confiscate it. That is the beauty of the new cell phone techno these days. As the TV ad says, cell phone is all in one. You carry one gadget and you could enjoy plenty of useful functions. You just have to have lots of patience to know all its features. To be honest I am not so keen on cell phones. Until now, I do not know yet all the features of my cell phone. The Wi-Fi feature is great but you have to wait for the not slow but very slow connection.

So, what about the shoes? Saturday afternoon last week the 20^th of Nov, I had a bonding time with my teenager niece and her best friend. The friend is a boy, so he is her boyfriend. I advanced my cash Christmas present to my niece thinking we will have more time to shop. I know she is not picky just very picky when it comes to items she would like to buy. Luckily her boyfriend is gifted with tons of patience. I just had to show them where to go. I sat at a couch nearby. I had to peek once in a while to check if a sales lady is already pulling her long hair. Good enough the well trained sales ladies entertained her well. When the sales ladies had their backs turned, I would tell my niece. When I shop I know exactly what to buy. She just smiled and said it is because she wanted the best deal.

I was at the mall at two in the afternoon. They arrived an hour late because of traffic jam. We ate lunch and snacks all at one time, before we got ready to shop. We were done with three pairs of shoes at eight in the evening. Her boyfriend had to take her home. She arrived at their house in Sta. Rosa Laguna City at eleven in the evening. It was a tiring day for three pairs of shoes. Yet, I am happy, my niece got so excited for the long hours of shopping. She sent me text message saying she will ask her brother to give her money for Christmas. We will do another round of shopping. Wish me luck folks. ☺
