Black Havaianas 2002-2010
7:30 AM, Friday, September 24, 2010. While I was on my way to the store at the front of the building where I live, to buy water and cigarettes, the left slipper broke. I thought I can still fix it by inserting back anchor-like rubber that attaches itself to the other end of the slipper... whatever it is called, it was broken, it fell on the floor the moment I lift my slipper.
It was my first and only pair. It was bought in duty free when my BF at that time came home from the states. While the whole family bought a whole lot of stuff, all I asked was a pair of brand new slippers. I told the BF that I want the black one, despite of his persistence that I choose a more elaborate design, I wanted the black and simple one, so with hesitations and still a lot of suggestions, he bought the pair I wanted. I loved that pair. We've been to many beaches like... Subic, Cebu, Bataan, Boracay, Puerto Galera. We've had some mountain adventures as well, like Bacolod and Bicol and went to so many places and that slipper has been a witness to many of my adventures and explorations.
They have been a good pair, durable, and served me well for 8 years.
wow! 8 years!
ReplyDeletemine is a brown one that's been with me for a year. i hope we also get to be together for years like yours.
