The New*BEE* in the beehive
So, yeah, my Internet has been playing tricks on me all this
while and although S enjoys a super fast Internet speed, I am stuck at home for
the time being with Fido. It gets irritable slow while connected to the laptop
via wifi and uploading pics gets next to impossible. I am saying all this to
justify my absence from the blog, well to a point my laziness also is to be
blamed, more so my impatience I guess!
Well, for the new readers, let me tell you, I just moved
from South Africa to Canada, feels like the Sun was my best friend as I miss it
the most ;), so do my dogs who came with us. You’ll see a few pictures of Olive
(my MALE Jack Russell! Yeah! About that some other time) looking like Snoop
Dogg in his track suit inspired black velvet hoodie. He has totally fallen in
love with sweaters and I am scared, if I stay here for the rest of my life, he
might just take over my ‘fashion designing’ career and start one of his own
with just the winter range for him and his four legged friends.
Oh and please keep in mind, pictures will keep uploading at
their own pace, hate slow Internet but stuck with it for a while. I also have
to start job hunting soon or maybe look at colleges, still trying to decide.
Also took a gym membership last week, have to at least start going there, or
start with road running. The list of things to be done and to start with is
pretty long, so let’s get to the fun part right away… shall we…
My shopping has not been much so far, to be blamed are the
biting cold weather and my to-do list that keeps me on the go 24X7. One thing I
did buy was the Abercrombie hoodie, as I mentioned in my previous post and
later spent $100 on Aldo shoes, which ended up being a big mistake!
How I soiled a $100 bill…
I have lately been walking a lot, like ‘A-LOT’ lot! Been
walking to places, to house viewings, just to grab a bite to eat or to go to
the mall, it’s my life now! So! I needed the perfect shoes that were sans
heels, easy to slide into, covered just enough to protect me from the cold and
pretty and well! Different *read- Not Boring*. So last I walked into Aldo and
got me the prettiest pair of lemon yellow brightness you could ever find. One
problem- they were suede!! So this guy at the counter talked me into buying a
spray *pics at the end* and a brush by Aldo of course claiming that they will
help protect and clean my suede shoes. I wasn’t so sure so I told him, I will
be walking a lot in these, taking my dogs for a walk, walking on wet grass and
all, I didn’t think those were right for me. But it was my day for a mistake,
he claimed and promised that after I spray them with that protecting ‘spray’
soil, mud, water, etc will glide through them as if oil on a balloon or
whatever and the brush is an easy clean to be used whenever necessary.
So, I bought it all, $10 each for the spray and the brush
and $80 for the shoes. I bought them, wore them and walked in them L after a daylong
flaunting my latest favorites, I noticed visible spots (even after the spray)
and tried to clean them, which the brush did initially. But whenever I go out
they get dirty, which that salesman promised won’t happen, and every time I clean
them with a brush, I notice it feels like it’s brushing the suede, like
sandpaper, I am scared if I continue that, it’ll make holes in them and the
wear and tear with be beyond repair. So for now, I am walking around town in
spotted yellow wonders, who cares (maybe I do, but I should have known better).
Always remember, suede shoes are not for walking! NO. Period!
Check out the pics, that I’ll post soon when my Internet
wishes, they don’t look so bad, but do not trust Aldo when they claim to make
your suede spotless regardless of where you wear them to. NA-aah!
OK :( sadly my internet connection is beyond slow! no pictures anytime soon I guess... so much to share, so many posts in draft..there's a backlog I never imagined possible..SADLY :(
