I'm In Love...



...with a pair of shoes.

Not just any shoes.

A pair of Stuart Weitzman shoes.

Stuart
GOD Stuart Weitzman "Women's Hiside" shoes to be precise.



*DROOLS*

Ain't it just about the most pwetty thing you've ever seen? *wipes imaginary tear from eyes*

Okay okay, so I'm exaggerating.

The fact is, I've been searching high and low for a pair of wedges that would look absolutely fab with my "shorts + halter/tube tops"-Summer-fashion-combo to rampage across Japan in when I suddenly saw this baby.

And of all places for me to find it, I found it via the 'Shoes!' application in facebook. (Yeah I'm wearing it on my profile now).

Imagine my joy. My glee. My utter rapture at finding out I could actually buy the shoes HERE!

And then...


..................................


...finding out it costs a cool USD $275!!!


OMFG!

(T___T)


Alas, as much as I would love to, the sad-but-realistic truth is that I can't afford to blow a cool RM870 for a pair of shoes yet! (Lol. If only!)

Money trees don't grow nowhere in my backyard and as much as I've prayed, I haven't seemed to have won any lotteries yet. (-___-)

So even though it was a short fling, GOOD-BYE MY LOVE!

*Sniff!*

I shall dream of you often.

And then pray that Vincci or Nose has psychic "Heroes" who can hear my prayers and create a "twin" at a much much much more reasonable price by July.

Lol.

It's a sacrilege, isn't it?

But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

So my sincere apologies, Stuart Weitzman. I love your shoes but I'm realistic (and vain) enough to wish for a "Hiside Twin" that won't have me surviving on bread and water for the next 2 months to pay off the shoe.

*Kneels down to pray REAL HARD to God/Vincci/Nose/Any decent shoe companies in Malaysia*

Amen.




P/s: Kindhearted saints feeling particularly indulgent may proceed with "donations" to yours truly.

P/p/s: Just kidding! Deep down inside, I really find it ridiculous to pay such amount for a pair of shoes. Heck, everyone who knows me well knows my biggest sin is shopping for make up. MUST. STOP. SHOPPING. UGH.

Wanted: Jeanie, Genie, or Skin-fixing Elves



I want, nay, NEED a new blogskin. Like, NEED NEED.

In the past year I've been so freaking busy with so many things I've never been really bothered by it, but now that I'm relatively and sorta free due to some unpredicted office-drama, I'm feeling extremely sien in a childish, petulant way with this generic blogskin I've been using since my previous custom skin died-ed on me without warning.

Bad, bad blogskin. Humph.

Somehow though, everytime I find a skin I like and I try to use it, it inevitably fails - quoting some unknown script error that has me squinting from top to bottom of the HTML codes and not really figuring out anything since hey, the codes all look the same to me.

Does this make me 'script-blind'?

Whatever. I studied graphic design, not web design, and now I'm doing copywriting. Web-design-Houdini I'm not.

So even after days of staring at the screen, boring illusionary holes into my Macbook ala "If looks could kill" style...I'm still stuck with my blah generic blogskin.

I need Jeannie.

I need a genie.

I need some smaller-than-hobbit elves
(who used to make shoes but has now moved on to web design in keeping up with the times) to miraculously fix up some canggih-manggih-looking blogskin for me.

Would leaving cookies and milk do?

No?

How about beer and chips then?

STILL No?

Booger.
