The Miracle Anti Blister Stick

I went to San Francisco today to meet with my hubby. I've decided to wear a plain navy blue T-shirt, a dark jeans, multi layer bead necklace , a metal bangle with crystals, denim jacket and my 4-inch peep toe denim wedge. I wanted to wear my denim shoes because its been months since I last wore it. Also,its perfect with my blue-themed outfit.

I knew its going to feel like hell after a few hours of walking in it. Dang!!! Just a few minutes of walking, it started to hurt already. I don't want to go back and change coz' I'm already half way to the bus stop and I wanted to make it to the 4pm bus!

There was this girl bragging about the Band Aid Friction Block stick on her video blog. She said it was a miracle stick for women who loves really nice shoes! So I told myself I'm just gonna buy that thing and the pain will go away! YEAH right!

When I got off the train at Powell, I walked slowly Yes SLOWLY coz my feet freakin hurts! I went straight to Walgreens, (whom I called in advance to make sure they carry the thing) and got my miracle stick.

The Friction Block stick looks like a mini deo."It forms an invisible barrier, making it ideal for open shoes, and provides an easy, non-messy application" says in the package. The formula should be applied to feet before wearing the shoes. It's clear and goes on easily and neatly. Oh well... Lets try it!

I was really optimistic. I had faith in it but I guess it was just too late. DARN! IT DIDN"T WORK!!! I already have blisters!!! $10 down the drain. I stayed calm because my wonderful husband is already on his way to rescue me. There's a DSW right beside Walgreens. (YEAH!) I was hoping to find a really cheap footwear to replace my beautiful sadistic peep toe wedge. Too bad for me coz nothing there is cheap even if it was on Clearance! When I say cheap I mean less than $10. So I decided to drag him to the chaotic world of ROSS.

My feet was in so much pain. Seriously painful!

Then there it was... FOREVER 21. We stepped right in and start looking for my rescue footwear. We saw a $15 sign! Oh YEAH! God loves me! But you know what? He really does love me because few steps away from THE sign we saw a basket of $7.50 sandals! I was so relieved and so was my hubby(coz it was so cheap!). I now have a summer footwear.

It may sound like I tricked my husband to buy me a pair of new sandals but I honestly did not. I were to do that, I'd have him buy me an expensive one!

I'm gonna give the Friction Block stick a second chance. The next time I wear one of my favorite shoes I'll apply it and hope it works. I'll let you guys know if it does! CIAO!

New Home

In a week or so we will be moving to a new place. Its a condominium. Whats the difference between an apartment and condo anyway? All I know is we're moving out of Vallejo! YEY!

If you're from the area you would understand why I'm so happy leaving Vallejo. I can't go out and see the sites here by myself. The first time I went out to buy myself some Chinese lunch, a guy started talking to me saying "Hey girl, wazzup?". I totally ignored him as if I had earphones on listening to an extremely loud music. But I had nothing on. He got mad and said "You're so hot you can't speak?". It was flattering but really scary. I was about to cross the street when he started yelling but the pedestrian sign was still on stop. I was praying and praying the whole time. Then I ran when the sign said WALK.

Before I came here in the US, my husband sent me pictures of apartments we can choose from . I fell in love with this apartment because of its Victorian style. Most of the houses in this area have the same style. When you walk or drive down the street you'll see beautiful Victorian houses.

But what I love most in this apartment is the kitchen. The granite counter top, the big gas range and the over the range microwave oven. The whole kitchen is not that big but its neat and again the GRANITE counter top!

It was OK to stay here for a while because I don't really need to go out. I can just stay at home and watch TV all day. But when I need something that's when it gets hard.I have to take a bus because there's no groceries or mall nearby. I'm fine taking the bus. I just walk really fast going to the bus stop so no one will bother me again. I still received a lot of "Hey Girl" while walking but its not that bad as the first experience I had.

I've taken the bus going to SFO, Pleasant hill and Walnut Creek by myself. I never had any problems. The drivers were very friendly. I felt safer when I'm inside the bus. Its just the walking that I don't like.

I'm trading it all for a patio, bedroom side balcony, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, another bedroom, extra storage space in the kitchen and patio, pool and a safer and a more accessible place. It costs a lot more than what we pay now but its worth the price. Shops and malls are just walking distance.

I'm so excited to move there!. I can spend my days at KOHLS or MARSHALLS! I can have my frozen yogurt any time I want! Super YEY!

Our future patio. That's my hubby.He's already planning his smoke breaks.
