Shoe Frustration

Okay, so I’m getting frustrated about getting a shoe.

I intended to buy myself a new pair of shoes  after my first pay day, but it’s been a week and I couldn’t bring myself to grab a cute pair of ballet flats and take it to the cashier. I’ve been looking at shop displays, department stores, but still - na da.

Last Wednesday, out of frustration, I decided to walk all over SM Megamall after work. After an hour of aimlessly window shopping, I decided to go home and boarded an ordinary bus to Monumento. I haven’t been on a long ride on an ordinary bus, so I took a chance to ponder about things. Here’s what I figured out:

1. I’ve rarely buy something brand new for myself.

2. I feel conscious  about spending my money. Yeah, I do.

3. I grew up knowing that money is hard to earn, so it’s never easy for me to just buy whatever.

4. I feel that shoes are expensive.

I know, this is pathetic. I want to get it over with though. Besides, I really, really need a new pair of shoes since I’ve been wearing my sneakers and my harajuku boots almost every day. I need to give them a break. I have to convice myself to buy a shoe!

Shoe requirements:

1. Must be heavy duty. I walk a lot so I need a shoe that can withstand major walking.

2. And since I walk a lot, I need flats.

3. Price issue. We all know that.

4. The shoe must somehow withstand rain. Not that I’ll wear the shoe through flood waters, but I need one that’s  sturdy enough.

5. The color must be suitable for anything - black in short. Though I want a red pair, for a change.

There. Any suggestions?
