Please Allow Me To Introduce - Grace's "Happy Feet"

Ladies and Gentlemen would you please welcome Grace's "Happy Feet"... A sandal made of wood with hand painted designs and therapeutic effects. Not only are they stylish, these wooden feet carriages are tough. In the seventies, Happy Feet became a fad among students and other AB clients. Happy Feet sandals were selling for P35 a pair then, now they easily go from P1,000 to P1,500 a pair depending on the model (still reasonable if you're into quality). And if you want to jazz them up, straps are available in different colors and cuts.

Grace's special pair of togs is hand painted with psychedelic colors, lines and symbols (flowers, stars etc...) with a white leather strap and a white rubber sole that keeps the wearer safe during the slippery rainy days. Part of the introduction of the sales person that helped us decide to get a pair was that each sole and strap is hand-painted and hand-stained, so each sandal is different from the others. There are no two sandals alike. For a recovering footwear addict like Grace the Happy Feet is an excellent mentor/sponsor to make her think twice before buying a new pair of shoes that she would only wear once or not even.

Available at your nearest malls or tiangge, check them out for yourself...

Maybe you will appreciate them as much as we did.

Wasted Times

"You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can´t I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day"

We've been together for 17 years, hmmmn such a long time to know someone that is not blood related to you. High school was a magical time for all of us. Back then everything was simple, fun and exciting. We have the future to conquer and a memorable past to look back to every now and then.

"I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete

You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation"

Since then we have gone our separate ways but we still try to hold on to the magic that is "Us", occasionally getting together to tell war stories about life, love, misery. There was college and new friends who have all come and gone but were still here. Partners have changed, Schatz did settle though, and up to this point I have no idea why? I personally think that people should never settle when it comes to having someone to share the rest of your life with, settling out of pressure, responsibility or worse desperation. Some people take single blessedness for granted, I guess it's the loneliness that comes with it that drives people to make life changing decisions that most often than not they would regret later on.

"Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind"

We are all lucky to have each other, we may not have as much time to be together as we used to, but when we really need to? we make the time. And then life goes on, and we go on... Together, looking forward to the day that we will sit back have a beer, a thousand laughs, like we used to, when life was simple, fun and exciting...

"The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation´s colors seem to fade to grey
And you´ll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory

I never thought you´d let it get
this far, boy"

Thanks to (Pareng Jerc) and the rest of "Bone" for providing the evening's entertainment...
