It's one hell of an expensive day when my prayers for not to be caught in rain go unanswered.  I don't even want to mention the times I chose to get stranded rather than tread through the city's murky flood.  Ohmygehd! The horror!  And how about the threat to my perfectly drawn eyebrows?  Obviously I am not a fan of the wet season.  However, a girl has got to go out, go to school, high five the boys, sneer at fellow girls and gossip some more a.k.a live life in general.

Hunter Wellies

Could Wellington boots a.k.a wellies be the answer to my prayers?  The western world, with their four seasons, is not alien to this apparel.  In fact it seems to me that rain boots are part of their wardrobe staples akin to sweatshirts or blue jeans. One of my vivid childhood memories is a scene of an adorable old lady doing her usual rounds of feeding a badelynge of ducks.  Not exactly a charming picture when quacking ducks and a pail of poultry feeds are in the scene, but I must admit the rubber boots made quite an impression to me.

I have not seen anyone my age wearing this very functional foot wear.  I don't understand why, despite the fact of flood being everywhere these days, no one seem to dare and try them on.  Would you rather be carried by sweaty men for a service fee of, how much is it now? Ten pesos?  Is that your interpretation of being "swept off your feet"?  I will unfriend you! hahahaha!

If you know where I could invest on a pretty and trust worthy pair of wellies here in the Philippines, I am all ears!

Since divorce is not an option and annulment certainly costs more than an arm and a leg, wives need something short of a culinary degree and pole dancing prowess just to have monopoly over their husbands attention span of 1 year, or 2 tops.  

As Denny Crane would put it: The perfect woman is an angel in bed and a whore in the kitchen.  

Poor eyesight is in our gene pool.  Back in the days of Sweet Valley High, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and historical romance novels, when I read them all through midnight and lying down to boot, I get scolded for straining my eyes; that I'd go blind because of such vice.  How can reading be a vice?  

I started wearing eyeglasses when I started highschool, but I had already been squinting my way through gradeschool way before I got my eyes checked.  The world looked so much beautiful through hazy eyes back then.  But with a growing head comes the progression of my myopia, so it cant be helped, my present and future continues to be latched with prescription eyewear... for good!

I get my eyes checked at least once a year and just recently my myopia progressed from -400 to -475 since last year when I got my nerdy eyeglasses.  As I said it can not be helped.  What can be helped is seeing to it that the optical shops I go to maintain the standard of having licensed opticians and ophthalmologists that ensure the quality of eyewears prescribed and being sold. Cubix Eyewear offers that high quality service with style and affordability!

I was snooping around their site and found something I really like!  I'm lemming for the CUBIK 940 C1 tortoise shell frame.  Very classy and looks mighty sturdy too! Looking spruced up wouldn't be much of an effort with the right accessory on.  Plus filling it with my prescribed -475 eye grade, this baby makes up for style x functionality that I so live by.  ^^
