New Comfy Yoi Shoes

Hello and happy new year for all of you :)

So this is my first post in 2011 and it's not about how I spent my new year's eve. I'll let Rara spill every single detail of it on her own blog(s). She got the photos (and the illustration) by the way.

Okay, on this post, I will introduce you to my new pair of (urhmm..) yo'i shoes. Yes. Some of you might still remember the last pair I bought with Y and how they turned out to be not so comfortable to wear. (Sorry, dear. Blame the shoes, don't blame your choice. I love you for that anyway :D) And some of you might have read the homecoming story when I got 'teased' by Cak Wier because of that old shoes. I told my mom about it and her reaction was obvious: she insisted me to get new pair of shoes.

So that last Sunday, January 2, My mom and dad took me to Pondok Indah Mall to find shoes. Being pushed that way, I was really hoping I could get that darn shoes easily without the after-wear side effect. And then, there were they. Two pairs of Reebok. Sitting nicely on the rack with the label "Kids" on it. White and velcro. One with black accent on the back, and the other one with pink accent.

I wasn't sure at first, that they would fit in my feet well because they're size 37 they're the biggest (because they're for kids!). But, hey. I got flexy-feet! How could I almost forget that?! My feet can fit a range of sizes, from 37 to 41. Cool, huh?

So, Ta-daaaa!

I've been wearing them for 3 days straight. They're super comfortable and cute enough to be adored. Right?

Cranky grumpy me

Like any other girl on this planet, I can be so cranky and grumpy whenever the syndrome comes, the pre-menstruation syndrome, to be exact. Try me, try to annoy me, even if you think it's not annoying enough, I will explode. And, how I wish everyone, especially those creatures from Mars who never know how this cycle ruins both physically and mentally, would easily understand this pain.

I guess this holy month is going to be the worst PMS I ever experienced. Lack of sleep and nutrition, physically tired and mentally disturbed by the office hours are killing me. And the fact that this hasn't started yet, the fact that I am fasting and having PMS at the same time is totally suck!

I think I will call in sick tomorrow.

Sorry guys, a girl is having her hard time here and no matter how comprehensive (or not!) this post to convince you that this is really hard, you will never understand. I know that. Just, give me a break.

sniff, sniff..

Of all the senses I've known, my ability to differ one scent to another is kinda suck. I'm actually an audio-visual person. For me, seeing and hearing is believing, hahahaha..

I love several scents, though. The scent of coffee, baby, freshly baked baking goodies and subtle yet fresh perfumes. It's not easy for me to tell differences between, for example, one flower to another, one perfume to another. So for me, if it smells good, wear it!

But with all my insensitiveness, hundreds of olfactory receptors of mine can easily refer one scent to something, or someone. For example, I still remember how my friend's old house smells like. I also (now) can choose a perfect scent for somebody who is really close to me. Like I did when I picked a body mist for my best friend.

I also recently appreciate Y's sweet yet warm scent. I kept sniffing the scent that is left on his jacket and try to lock the scent in my mind. So, right now, though he's not around, I can still remember how his smell. And when he's around, his smell gives me kind of something.. like.. "oh-this-is-you" kind of feeling. Weird, huh? Hihi.

Being a copy writer in a cosmetic company has pushed me to enhance my sense of smell. I should know whenever I have to write these words: zesty, musky, earthy, warm, dreamy, sweet, etc. I have to broaden my olfaction knowledge and try to appreciate the slightest difference between one scent and another.

Cinderella's yo'i shoes

I have shoes, uhm (clearing throat), or should I call, "yo'i shoes", that I have worn for almost 4 years. They're very comfortable and very cute in appearance though they now seem very worn out. I never loved shoes this much!

And why again "Cinderella"? It's just because Cinderella was one of my favorite Disney Princess character. Against its story that lacks the spirit of feminism, independency, emancipation, whatsoever, I somehow love to refer myself as Cinderella. Stupid? Well.. ahahahahahahah...

Okay, enough the story of Cinderella. Now I'm talking about my shoes. Don't get me wrong, I do want to buy a new pair, but I am very picky when it comes to shoes (more than clothes). I want the same kind of white sneakers with velcro, not lace. I told everyone, if I could have the exact same pair of shoes, I would buy two pairs at once! Just because I don't get a new pair yet, I won't change. They're still wearable though.

Out of blue, Y took my shoes off and took some pictures of them with Ditha's camera. And here they are.. my dear yo'i shoes.

Yo'i!

Now, you're wondering what kind of Cinderella would love to wear those kind of shoes instead the unwearable-not-so-pretty-because-you-look-barefoot glass shoes, aren't you? Well.. I'm not an ordinary Cinderella. I am way too cool than her! Hahahahahahahahaha.

...and another goodbye

I hate goodbye.

I hate to say it, I hate to be left behind, I hate to see someone's leaving. I even hate it when he or she was a super nice person. I handled so many goodbyes so well. I put my best smile, laughed along with him or her, and only said the good words. But I always had myself hurt at least for the rest of the day. Like something stuck in my throat, my stomach feels unwell, and my heart is so heavy that I couldn't breathe easily.

And the feeling of knowing that tomorrow is never gonna be the same due to his or her absence is the worst feeling and yeah it hurts.

Huh.
