Saks Fifth Havaianas Update

So I promised myself that I should not buy Havaianas anymore for the time being. I had a hard time picking one of the Saks Limited Edition pairs anyway.

NOT!!!

The Reasons:
1. These limited pairs are on sale for the time being for half of its regular price. A $9 price tag for each pair is a dream for every Havie out there.
2. Somebody in Multiply offered a reasonable price for each pair. Come to think of it, even if I have to pay for the regular price of the Havs, it takes away the pain of paying exorbitant shipping costs.
3. I have the budget, anyway, and might not have this chance again of securing limited pairs. (Yeah, right.)
4. Besides, this is for charity anyway. (Shucks.)

So which pair did I choose?

THIS ONE!!!


From the Saks Fifth Avenue website:
Big kisses cover these fun favorites designed by Laura Mercier to benefit charity: water. $1 from each purchase, up to $200,000, will be donated to this non-profit initiative established to bring clean water and basic sanitation into impoverished communities.

I chose Laura Mercier because I know I could wear it all season. The other two Havs are also nice, but as I said in my previous entry, I'm not really a blue person... Baka sermon na maabutan ko kay Mama.

Can't wait to get my Laura Havs...

New Baby

I am so in love with my new pink Top Havaianas with stainless white logo. This is a partial birthday gift from my friend Abi (thanks girl!) and partial treat from my first paycheck.

What a beauty.

MYOH - My Own Havaianas

This is my very own creation from the "Make Your Own Havaianas" event in Powerplant Mall yesterday. Somebody commented that this is my version of the Kids Stars (which unfortunately, have sizes up to 33/34 only). It's definitely my favorite pair right now. The event will run until March 26.

On Broken Resolutions and Blessed Novena Prayerbook

Let it be known that I broke my New Year's resolution today, January 10, 2007.

I am NOT supposed to buy any Havaianas until February, my birth month. Of course, it's not just a resolution, it's supposed to be a rehab from my addiction of the popular flip-flop brand. But when I saw the Havs marked down at AFF Glorietta, I totally flipped and bought the Pink/Light Blue Style model. This baby is a steal for P604.00. Of course, there were other marked down 2006 models available, like the lavender Margaridas, the rose cheetah animal prints, and the black and white Style. Let's see if they have stocks on Friday so I could buy another one.

It's official. I am now on re-HAV.

Something good happened today though. I had my copy of the Novena of Mother of Perpetual Help blessed before I went crazy. It should mean something. Next week, I will attempt to fall in line and go to the Blessed Sacrament, and beg for mercy.

Update: I was able to go near the Blessed Sacrament. In fact, I've been doing this for my last three visits already. Yay me!

Christmas Notes

1. I'm trying to wear my Havaianas greetings as often as I could. They just looked pretty, although my feet do not look good right now.

2. I have a new Ipod speaker, a gift from my bro. How cool is that? I've been playing my Ipod shuffle on speaker the whole day, and perhaps, the whole night too.

3. I spent Christmas day at my aunt's place. Ate a lot, went to Starbucks to hang out, ate again. Good luck on my diet next year.

4. Greeted some of my closest friends as I usually do every year. Talking to them alleviated my Christmas blues a bit. I am looking forward to going to Tagaytay this week with my church friends.

That's all for now. Wishing everyone joy, peace and happiness. Merry Christmas!

Mall-hopping / Ebay transactions / Krispy Kreme - All Flip Flops

Yesterday was my weekly trip to Baclaran, which gives me a perfect excuse to go somewhere afterwards. After visiting the Our Lady of Perpetual Help, I proceded to accomplish my other "missions" for the day:

1. Meet-up with an ebayer who won the bidding for my Havaianas Joy

The buyer was very nice. In fact, she was so nice that I can't help but assist her where to find stores that sells Havs. Enjoy the Havs, dear!

2. Ship my Havaianas Summer Brown to another winning bidder

This one went smoothly, even though I shipped the item long before I received payment from the winning bidder. I just got word that she already received the item. Whew!

On hindsight, I hope that all sellers and buyers should observe the rules of online auctions, particularly on ebay. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth when a seller or buyer does not comply with their end. I know, I've been there--on both sides unfortunately.

3. Find Krispy Kreme and All Flip-Flops store in the Fort

This one took a while. I had to walk through Bonifacio Global City, sort of like an enlarged Greenbelt 3 located adjacent of Market! Market!. After a wrong turn and endless walks, I finally found these stores like water in the desert. I love Krispy Kreme! Their glazed doughnuts are so divine! The All Flip-Flops store, although the biggest of all its branches, wasn't worth the trip if there are other stores that sell Havs.

I got home close to 9, just in time to watch Grey's Anatomy. It was all good.

Havaianas, how I love thee...

Slim Beige Golden. There's nothing like it.

Havaianas Inventory:
1. Metallics Silver
2. Joy Pink (06)
3. Rosa Branco
4. Summer Brown
5. Christmas Greetings White
6. Slim Beige Golden*
7. Christmas Greetings Gold*

* acquired today

I am almost cash-strapped. I started the day having cash to spend (not a lot) and ended it with almost none. The culprits: my recently acquired Havaianas Slim Beige Golden and Limited Christmas Greetings in Gold. I am so in Hav-en!!! However, I had to push my haircut plans to next week.

So let's do a bit of accounting:

Cash on Hand: Almost none.
Bank Savings: Just enough to maintain my account
Allowance: Still with Mama
Procceds from Havaianas Bid on Ebay: Expected next week (unless winning bidder does NOT pay)
Pending transactions: None, for now
Pending debts: NONE!!! Just concluded my last multiply transaction for now (hence, the Slim Beige Gold). Yay!

The assessment: Zero balance. Zero money to spend. Must get my "allowance" ASAP.

My sacrifice: No Havaianas purchase until February, my birth month.

2007 Havaianas Now On Sale

Small Flowers - Pink

My Top 3 2007 Havaianas Wishlist:

1. Small Flowers Pink
2. High Light Pink
3. Summer Dots Navy Blue

Today I attempted to buy one of the newly-released 2007 Havaianas models in Aura Athletica and Chocolate in Powerplant--only to come out empty-handed. I'd probably regret it later on. Sure there were really nice ones like the Sunny, Stripes, High Light, and even the Golden Beige top, but I really wanted was this Small Flowers model which happens to be available only (not sure about this) at americansole.com. Now if only I could decide which color should I order.

Update on my Slim Beige Golden: I HAVE IT!!!

Update on Limited Edition Golden Havaianas: I HAVE IT TOO!!!

Note to self: Get a pedicure/foot spa and a haircut ASAP.

Addicted to Multiply / Shopping Online / HELLO Christmas Havs updated

Multiply.com used to be one of my most hated websites. It looked like a modified version of Friendster and Myspace, it always takes forever to load on a dial-up connection, and it clogs my mail. But then since we upgraded to DSL everything is just a breeze. Saw lots of pics of Havaianas, my recent obsession, read blogs, and downloaded some music.

And then I discovered Multiply shopping. I was already into online shopping before, usually through Ebay and its local counterpart, Bidshot. But I found this type of online shopping more accessible, without the dreaded feedback and there's no need to deal with joybidders and hagglers.

On a sadder note, I decided to cancel my Christmas Havs reservation. I am not very happy about this. I realized that I still have pending transactions (of yes, Havaianas) and well, I haven't received them yet. I'm really scared that I couldn't pay for my transactions if they are well... compounded. Anyway, I promised the seller that I will immediately pay for the pair when I receive those flip-flops, if it's still available. Might be too late though. I don't know how I could make up for this move, and I apologize to the seller.

Havaianas Limited Christmas Edition (Gold)

Am I crazy for wanting this? I got the Havaianas bug so bad that it didn't matter that this pair would cost an arm and a leg. Besides, Christmas is fast approaching and this would be the perfect footwear for the occasion. Anyway, I like the silver one better, but I thought that it would be hard to maintain since that one has a white sole. I hope to raise enough "funds" to buy this golden pair, meaning that I might have to sell some Havs. Anyone interested to buy a pair of old flip-flops?

Flip Flops Craze

Let me start this blog by introducing my meager collection of havaianas. My favorite pair right now is the rosa branco. What's so special about the havs? The Brazilian made flip flops come in different color and designs and are known for its patented rubber designed for durability and comfort. The price may be a bit unreasonable for good ol' tsinelas, though. I'll still recommend the Islander for those who are scouting for cheaper ones.
