I'M ONE WEIRD CHICK. can't do anything. i'm dorky, and it's ok with me. i love being me. i love being the fat, silly, loser me. (:

Philippines Best of Blogs

Sunday, June 04, 2006

7.

I was reading this blog days ago, and this blog has a topic about Havaianas. I regret that I have forgotten the URL of this certain blog, but I must say, she really has strong posts and meaningful ideas. I promise that when I get the URL, I will put it here, so you too can see her fantastic blog.

So back to Havaianas. She says that she finds them impractical. That they're a 'nicer' version of the Filipino tsinelas. Well, if they really were made in the Philippines, I would have joined her side. But they were made in Brazil. And Brazilians certainly don't know of tsinelas. She says she also finds them too 'casual' to wear to school. Also unethical. And impractical. Imagine, splurge a thousand bucks on a pair of slippers that closely resemble a local brand, Beach Walk?! Yes, it is impractical. But I keep on craving for Havaianas because they're my 'comfort' footwear. And so does everyone else who are fans of flip-flops. My feet feel safe in them. I feel comfortable with them. And if you come and think about it, they're practically 'practical' in some account. I mean, they last a long way, they go with any of your outfits unlike some heels that you have to pair with something so that it'll look good. And they're very comfortable. From the positive point of view, it's good that Filipino tsinelas are really taking a toll on the fashion industry -- even if they aren't known as the latter.

Currently, I already have 4 pairs of Havaianas. One is a white one -- Havaianas High, acquired last year for my birthday. Then I bought an orange one with Hibiscus designs, and a Pink one. Then awhile ago, I bought the England one (OOHHH YES!). My favorite so far is the England one. And my feet could have never felt so comfortable.
