new shoes. new allergy.
Wednesday, 9 January 2013
alright. both me and darling are not allergy to shoes. what my post title really means was that i got myself a new pair of shoe today. the big deal about this new pair of shoe was that it was a totally new design, new brand (no longer giovanna, but now is everbest from OG) since my first job in ibm in nov 2004. omg! this means that for 8years plus, i had been so loyal to this particular design of shoe and of course this particular brand. let me do some calulation.
first 6 years - almost two pairs per year - $19.90 * 2 * 6yrs = $238.80
last 2 years - say a pair every 3mth - $19.90 * 4 * 2yrs = $159.20
total damage for 8 years - $398
isnt that amazing? i only spent a sheer $400 bucks on my corporate shoes for entire 8years. now i hope my two pairs of onitsuka tiger can last that long. lol.
however, although it was quite a pretty cheap wear, but based on the calulation, the last 2 years, the cost seems horrible, which is on par to the quality of the shoes. i had to purchase new pairs of shoes frequently and i decided to give it all up. although this new pair of shoes cost thrice ($79.90 original, $63.90 after 20%) compare to the old one, but hopefully it will serve me well, at least a year pls.
enough of shoes. now let's talk about the new allergy. darling had developed several red spots on her body, arms, neck, leg since sunday. just to confirm that its not chicken pox, i dragged her to the clinic this late evening (night). doc confirmed that its just some food allergy, or human allergy (dar said she might got spreaded by the crowd in della's concert, lol). seriously, we tried to look back on what we had eaten, drank, and the places we went, but we had no recollection of anything new that she might had consumed.
and finally, we decided to find a scapegoat, and it gotta be eggs. both me and darling think that she had too much of eggs these days (almost every meal), and she should cut down her intake of eggs. well, even if the eggs might not really be the culprit of this red spots but i dont want her to be a victim of high cholesterol too.
