Thinking of Havaianas
These simple slippers. Yet, they occupy and consume my mind every time I slip into my non-Havaianas slippers. Like they say, you can only covet the things or people you cannot have. The more I convince myself that these slippers are not worth the exorbitant sum on its price tag, the more I want it. The more I think about buying one. Why is it that the we want the things we don't need and can't have? It's not that I am physically incapable of having these slippers, I am just not financially capable. Actually, I can shell out about a thousand pesos for a pair of Havaianas but I my
kuripot self is still debating with my
I-need-to-have-one self.
My 5th anniversary with Red is fast approaching. We are actually not into this habit of giving each other gifts. Yes, we are that romantic. Red and I, we do have a lot in common and one of those things we share is our hatred for shopping for gifts. I hate it. He hates it. So we don't do it. We would rather spend our money on restaurants or movies. The usual boring stuff.
But this year may be a bit different. Maybe Red IS thinking of what to give me. Flowers? Jewelry? Perfume? Honey, if you are reading this, there is no need to suffer mental anguish on what to give me. To make your life a little bit easier, I suggest you buy me a pair of cotton candy pink Havaianas. Just like the one pictured below.
If I ever do get to have one of these, I swear that my wardrobe would have to be mostly in pink or white so I may be able to wear them as much as possible.
My obsession over these things reminds me of an episode in Friends where Monica bought this pair of very expensive boots even though Chandler objects to it. She promised to wear it always since she can wear it with pants or skirts. She ended up leaving the boots on the sidewalk because wearing it was just killing her toes.
For now, I dedicate the song
"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt to my
cotton candy pink Havaianas which I will have someday.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,'
Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,I will never be with you.
