Broken Sandals

Just recently I tripped over a tilted sidewalk in Makati. The straps part for the toes broke off. It was sooooooo embarrassing for me to walk with one bare foot while holding the other 2 ½-inch broken sandal. Hehehe, maniwala kayo, nakakahiya talaga. I think everyone was staring at me for quite sometime until I got my taxi.

 

I heard a sidewalk Vendor said: “Ay naku sayang naman.”
All I can think of was… “Oh God, why me?”

 

When I arrived at the building, eight minutes late by the way, everyone at the lobby was smiling. At the office, Zeny was generous enough to lend me her slippers so I could go out and buy a new pair shoes at Ayala. I was ready to let go of my favorite sandals until Manong Guard suggested that I bring it to Mr. Quickie nearby. Luckily, I didn’t have to spend more money because for just a few sewing and gluing, my sandals were almost looking brand new again. :D

 

 

It was just another topic to laugh about during our break.
