Caroleen’s Treasures

I don’t usually buy signature stuffs especially for myself. Although I know that the quality is way much better than the cheapo ones, I can’t just convince myself to spend money on pricey stuffs. The very first reason is that I don’t have money to spend. :-l Second, I noticed through time that pricey stuffs don’t last long to me like the cheapo stuffs. But maybe if we have more than enough money, then I could probably shell out some moolah for such items.

Last time we went to my hometown for my grandfather’s funeral, we had a reunion too with cousins from Manila. They are sisters. I have seen Manang Marichel and Manang Marites when I went to take part of the Buy Pinoy Trade Expo in SM Megamall two years ago. But I didn’t it is almost 10 years since I last saw the eldest, Manang Maribel. It was so wonderful to see them all again and when we parted, I brought home a REEF slippers.

I noticed Manang Maribel wore it. Who wouldn’t notice her wearing a pair of slippers that almost double the size of her feet. So I was sweet talking her to give it to me since it fits just right to my gigantic feet to which she answered, “Sige na nga….pero alagaan mo ‘yan ha. Mahigit $50 ‘yan.” :-0 I didn’t expect it to be that expensive! So I said, “Salamat!!!! Ang mahal pala nito, alagaan ko talaga ‘to. Di ko isusuot. Ipapa-frame ko ito.” Hahahahaha!

Here’s my gigantic feet on the $$ slippers. I wouldn’t almost want to wear it and it is stored in the other room for months now. Waiting to get it framed. Hahahaha! Thanks to my dear cousin Manang Bel for letting me experience the joy of having one. Been needing ot do some light reading on Mesothelioma lawyers
for my online task.
