Shoe Away

I had to go back to Glorietta a couple of days after i purchased an expensive pair of sandals (Tatami by Birkenstock), only to return them. Not only did i get my feet sore but i got them bruised after two days of walking! And so, when i went back to the store, they didn't want them returned for the lady said they would not accept used items. But how will i know if the quality's good (in this case it was terrible) without using them myself for at least two days?? Hello?? I told the lady i was willing to buy another pair (of course a different one) just so long as i get to return the terrible pair. She said i'll have to come back for it after she has asked for her boss' approval.

I don't mind using "tiis-ganda" (can't fiind an english translation) shoes. Really, i don't. I just want my shoes to look pretty all the time. Hah. Because i've got ugly, veiny feet. But, this specific pair is exceptional! I hope the lady would understand. Or else, i'd get my feet uglier than ever. Not nice.

hello??? ganyan talaga dyan sa pinas... i remember a number of years ago when, jamie was still small, tita amie bought her a pair of shoes at landmark (jamie wasn't around to try the shoes on cuz she was with her cousins somewhere else in the store)... tita amie just got finished paying for the shoes and hadn't walked away from the counter when jamie came back to her... jamie tried on the shoes right there in front of the cashier and found them to be too small (nakita nang cashier yun)... tita amie asked if she could get a bigger size and the cashier told her she could not because she already paid for this pair... nothing tita amie could do except walk away mad... minsan nakaka-inis talaga ang manga department stores dyan sa pinas!!! (is my tagalog spelling correct???)- tito boyet
