I'm no Victoria Beckham

It seems that everyone I know is into high heel shoes. Stiletto, wedge, pumps, etc. There are so many kinds and really gorgeous but I avoid them like a plague.

Why? because I never get to be so comfortable in them.That's why I am always in awe whenever I see someone who walks gracefully in high heels and I do admire my friends who wear them with great ease. I recently saw this woman who was wearing a 4-inch stiletto heels platform sandals. They were really awesome, the kind Victoria Beckham wears, but goodness I just can't imagine myself wearing them. Anyway, as we were both waiting for the same bus I approached and complimented her on the sandals. I even asked her if she wasn't having a hard time walking in them. Apparently, she wasn't and prefers them because they made her taller.

Moi? No way! I can't walk in high heels. A few years ago we attended a party and I wore a pair of knee high boots with 2 inch heels. Within 2 minutes of walking I gave up, luckily I had my flats. Yes, I always bring one, just in case something like that arise. Wheww! I was saved. From then on I stick to flat shoes and sandals.

But there are times when I dream of wearing them. It would be like a new Me--sashaying my way to the grocery store while pushing my girls in their pushchair and skates. Click...Clack..click.Hmmm...why not. Click...click..I'm tall but I am taller now.

Well?.....

I guess, I'll stick to my dreams.

I'm loving your blog, so cute...

For the high heels, well, I am just like the lady you saw in the bus: I love wearing high heels (kase I'm not considered tall "here" and I'm sure I don't need to tell you na in the Phils, I'm considered very tall na). Atsaka, I am not comfortable wearing flats and I totally avoid them talaga, only thongs for summer and that's it.

You know it's funny kase nag deliver ako today with my 5-inch heels (same pair that I was wearing when I saw you at Phoebie's). A pinoy driver saw me, a kapampangan, kala siguru may anak akong nag aaral sa super prestigious school na yon, kasi he said, "whoa, where are you going dressed like that?" And I said, "hello, frozen goods delivery girl ako noh, hindi lang obvious pero shrimps ang dala ko!!"

And Posh, don't we just love her? I mean, seriously, she's the ultimate fashion icon, kahit naka marcel lang sya and boyfriend jeans with thongs, she looks amazingly fabulous !

Forget the high heels, you're so tall na, hello? Your kids might want to wear them in the future, sa kanila kana lang mag dream, he, he. Kase ako if I want to wear something na hindi bagay sa akin (mostly kasi hindi kasya:-((, I get the same thing at the kids' section & I make my girls wear them. Bulit, the smallest of the twins, actually loves wearing heels and she will have her very first, real high heels next week (wedge). She is overly excited to wear them! She is my own version of Suri Cruise:-)

Ah, don't we just love motherhood?

Cheers !

wow, your a pinay mom in switzerland? cool. hay, ang init sa pilipinas. i know, i keep saying it.

when i was working, i wore a very nana-like 2-inch heels to work. i always sprain my ankle so that's the best that i can manage. besides, why wear 4-inch heels when you're running after a 2-year-old? may yaya yun.

thanks for stopping by my blog. ingat :)

Our mid-week get away in Dijon

Dijon, one of the cities in France, was the destination of our mid-week get away. The city,which is well known for its mustard,is a 3-hour train ride from Genève via Lausanne. As I've mentioned in my previous post ,this was my first time to visit the city. We arrived mid-day to a gloomy surrounding and headed to Quick, sort of Jollibee here. Yet,the real treat was in the old town. Walking on the paved street for me was like being transported to another era. Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...

Imortal invades my home

A special thanks to My CHOS for letting me use the above photo. Just click on the photo to see more of John Lloyd and Angel Locsin. Recently, I have been smiling a lot because of John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin. This is after I have discovered Imortal one fine afternoon when the girls were having their nap and Nanay was having her quiet moment. Many viewers have compared the series to Twilight which I haven't seen yet. Yes, I might be the only soul who has not seen the film though I &hearts Robert Pattinson's eyes. Maybe soon, when I've got the time. Anyway, back to Imortal and John Lloyd Cruz--yes, this is my new fave tv series. I look forward every night for my girls to go to bed so that I can watch Imortal in peace. There are times when I just watch a week of the series on Fridays. This saves me time and I got to do something else. There's only one thing which frustrates me--nobody to share my "kilig Imortal" moments with. Now,please excuse me if I...

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?
