independence day???.....................

everybody is barbecuing outside and here i am typing this blog. i've never been a big fan of barbecuing nor celebrating independence day. don't get me wrong, i like taking a day of at work but i don't fuss around the whole celebration thing. the family usually go to the beach (most of the time at the finishing ground of jones beach) and wait for the firework. but now a days, it's more of staying at home and just watch the macy's fireworks on tv. does it mean that this is a reflection of tough economy that we are just taking everything slow on the spending?? who knows.

anyway, i am reminiscing my vacation last may. oh how i wish i am just somewhere quiet. hmmmm.

if the shoe fits......

i have a big dilemma here. for the past two months now, i have been searching for a pair of work shoes...the typical black casual shoes. when i was on vacation in the philippines, i went to almost all the stores when i go to a mall. no such luck. as soon as i got back here in nyc, i did the same. i tried even looking at brand name such as prada, gucci, and kenneth cole to name a few. i found one or two a few weeks ago but guess what...they don't have my size. i tried even looking at websites but nothing.

what is wrong with me? why can't i find the right shoes. i just want the shoes to "sing" to me and say buy me. am i asking too much?
