The Shoe-perintendent
Yeah, I love shoes. Benj made sure everybody knew that during his speech at our wedding. Dionne already knows this. That's why I get away with the occasional splurge on footwear. She even wanted to give me a new pair for my birthday. But unfortunately, we had to postpone it because the shoe "we" wanted wasn't available in my size.
Yesterday, luck smiled upon us. =)
We were supposed to have dinner at Cafe Breton with Dionne's classmates from French class. Upon arriving at Glorietta, we went to Karimadon first, to finally be able to use the GC from 2bu! Dionne got this for "only" 50 pesos:
On our way to Greenbelt, Michelle and Dax texted Dionne that we were going to have dinner at Banana Leaf at Glorietta instead. While waiting for them, we went into the nearest shop, Nike Park. In there, we saw the new Nike Free Trainer 7.0... Dionne probably saw the look in my eyes. She decided to give me my birthday gift. =)
And so we asked the salesperson for a size 11...
Haay, they only had a size 10.5. Somebody already bought the size 11. Not losing hope, I tried the size 10.5 on. Masikip. =(
I tried to put the shoe out of my head. We then met Christophe, Dax, Lu and Michelle near McDo.
At Banana Leaf, we ordered 3 orders of nasi goreng, 2 orders of chicken curry, an order of roti to be dipped in curry sauce, and 2 orders of a pansit-like dish. Christophe looked sad when he saw that there were only 3 orders of the rice dish. We had to explain to him that it was good for 2 people! Which, of course, would just be enough for him. Extra rice would have to ordered later... We were so hungry (especially Lu) that we were not able to take any pictures. Not even of the group!
Dinner was sooo good! We even needed 3 extra cups of rice because the curry was so spicy... As expected, Christophe finished off everything. Down to the curry sauce and potatoes.
After dinner, off we went to Cafe Breton, where Jera was already waiting for us. Another classmate from French class, Bev, was also there, with her daughter.
As we passed by Landmark, we looked into the Nike area. No sign of the shoe. *sniff*
Good thing that there was a big Nike Park at Greenbelt... And they had a size 11. =D
The shoe:
But of a different color. Think, UST colors. It even matches my new jacket from Arrow:
Wow. Thanks brad! =D
(By the way, we capped the night with dessert at Cafe Breton. Crepes for most of us. Some even had wine. We also forgot to take a group pic. I was holding on to the shoe plastic bag the whole time. Hehe.)

US size 11.5 (11 inches, don't know why there's no size 11) is 45 in europe. remember, it's not the size, it's how you use it. ;)
