Barely two months before Christmas, I've decided to put up my Havaianas Gummy Lights! (Shout outs to HoneyHon all the way from Oz for sending me these babies!!!) They arrived just in time for me to get into the Christmas spirit.

Thanks to Leanne and Aimil for the invite to the special MYOH for us Havaianaticos (ahem, VIPs!) last July 29, 2010. AJ & I had our once-a-year affair once again. LOLs! It was fun meeting my awesome fellow bloggers, Noelle & Dane, and more beautiful people (Ormocanas unite!), apparently all having a blast at this year's MYOH 2010 :) Oh would you believe I was there... STANDING for 3 freaking hours trying to "make" those Havaianas!? :P All for the love of flip-flops! Until next year, everyone! xoxo

P.S. Thank you Noodle Boy For being my personal paparazzi. Saved my ass from having to take pictures all over the place! Mwah! What would I do without you?

Location: Sugbo

I am happiest sole ever! Thank you Havaianas Philippines for the gifts!!!

My official entry to the Havaianas Happy Sole contest! See: http://www.havaianasphilippines.com/happysoles/

A few days ago, I received this from a local courier:

A mail from Havaianas!!!

Hmm. Interesting.

Then I opened it and asked myself, "What's this? An origami?"

Umm. What now?

Havaianas is just so full of surprises! Aren't they?

BUT ALAS!!!

No thanks to the blasted weather, I couldn't make it today... *sigh*

Let's just stare at these images for 30 seconds to find out what they're launching, shall we?

Or check out the official page at http://www.havaianasphilippines.com/musthavs/

"WW-WHAT THE HELL???" was basically what I said when I saw what Melinda was wearing. Then I rolled on the floor laughing out loud. ROFLOL. Okay, exag! But my gawd... Would you take a look at this???

CAN YOU SPOT THE NOT???

It's pretty obvious. But you gotta hand it to them... NICE TRY! Hahahaha! But you ain't foolin' us! ;)

I have this thing against fakers, posers, and those trying hard wannabes. I've met so many of those in my life and seriously, you should get yourselves your own lives. Stop trying to be someone you're not. You gotta love yourself for who you are and what you're capable of doing. You know what I believe in? I know there's a big chance that people don't like me.... however, there's a bigger chance that I DON'T CARE! The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.

So stop imitating people because you think they're cool. Does that really make you happy or any better than anyone else? Maybe you can be good impersonators, but still... you are an impostor. That won't make you... YOU! So if you're still having that identity crisis, take a look at yourself in the mirror and ask, WHO AM I? If your reflection talks back, dude, you must be crazy. HAHAHA! Okay, enough! I think I'm ranting already.

Once again...


Pledge your support for all things original: original thought, original works, and original creations at www.havaianasphilippines.com/original .. Man, I really should be working for Havaianas by now. :) Tee hee.

P.S. MYOH 2009 was loads of fun, as always... Seen the album yet? No? Go here: http://mymaria.multiply.com/photos/album/247/Cousin_Club_hits_PRE-Make_Your_Own_Havaianas_2009

Got a special invite from the wonderful people of Havaianas Phils. (shouts out to Aimil and Leanne!) It's sort of a special VIP pass for a night prior to the MYOH 2009. Read: No lines, complete choices of colors and pins, and free ice cream & 2 complimentary pins!!! ;) Scored myself 2 pairs... Ah well, what can I say? *HOLIDAAAAYYY!*


Location: Cebu

I forgot to post about this one. So anyway, I scored the white version. Plain white with the Philippine flag. Simple... pero rock! \m/



Now I wonder if I'll ever get to wear this... or this will just end up on my rack. Hehe.



Thanks Havaianas Philippines for sending me this along with the Philippine goodies, the jeepney souvenir and some Philippine delicacies! :)

The secret is out! You've probably heard it already and got emails about it... but just for the sake of blogging... here's what I'm talking about!



That's the email I got from Havaianas Philippines a few days ago... and here's a screenshot of their website:



Yup... that is for real! Check it out:  http://www.havaianasphilippines.com/filipinas/

Scroll down for pix...




Comes with very kawaii pin!!!


My 2006 and 2009 Filipinas Havs!



Rubberized logo versus metallic pin!



Although, I must admit the sizes have changed considerably. My size 37/38 Filipinas 2006 Havaianas are just about the same size as the size 35/36 Filipinas 2009 Havaianas!!! I'll give you proof!




Nevertheless, you guys should still really head out to your nearest Havaianas retailer NOW and grab yourself these very exclusive pairs and be proud to be Pinoy!

Happy Independence Day, y'all!

P.S. Shout outs to Enyong & Tshilly's for scoring me a pair!

Quick post before I upload albums of our yet another island adventure for the summer. Here's something I didn't really expect.

Someone left me a comment over at my main blog and said this:



LOL! Imagine my surprise!? For one, I haven't been called "Mai-Mai" for ages (at least, online) and two, what's up with being "anonymous"?! Okay, I didn't get to go out on a date but I received this shortly after!



It's the Havaianas SURF for Girls I've been meaning to get, but didn't get lang. I just didn't feel the "need" or "want" really.





I now have a stalker! Joke... This was actually given to me by someone special and dear to me. Why? He said, "I'll give you Havaianas. Just don't go on random dates with 'anonymous' people." HAHAHAHA! Guess who???

Oh well, works for me!  :)

She has arrived!!!
My most awaited pairs of the year!
Ummm, before I get my hands on the 2009 Chisos anyway...
Check out the old and the new WW Havaianas.




I would like to say BIG, BIG THANKS to Corned Beef Carlo and Atty. Sweet2x for making this possible!!! ^_^



 

WHAT A BEAUTY! WHAT A SIGHT TO BEHOLD!!!


"No one can resist the golden lasso. It binds all who are encircled and compels them to tell... the truth!"

You just got to have your hands on these... For real... ^_^
