So this post and an upcoming one will be about my newfound love for traveling. I still couldn’t claim to be as passionate as many people are about it because I still don’t think that I will do it more than 4 times in a year. This 2012, I’ve already been to Singapore, in June, my sister, brother, sister’s friend and I are scheduled to spend a few days in Cebu, and then I have already booked tickets for Cagayan de Oro for a pre-Christmas trip in December. I guess I can have room for one more, if friends will come up with something, but I guess that’s it for 2012.
The first time I was in Singapore, I only bought with me 2 wedge-type sandals/slip-on, both about 2.5 in. tall. I thought I’ll be going around in a city, so they would do. HUGE mistake! I learned the hard way that you have to do very long walks to go from one place to another – even with their very efficient transportation system. I admitted later it was a good thing because I needed the exercise, but I actually had to buy myself comfortable flats to preserve my feet and the function of my legs. The second time around, I know what to do – no tall heels, no hard leather, no bobbi brown shoes – unless you’ll take the cab from and to your hotel for a night out.
I bought two pairs (promo kasi, sold the other pair sa Ebay—defensive much) of Gap foldable ballet flats last year. They’re very comfortable and so soft. You can easily tuck them inside your purse and use when you get tired of wearing heels.
