shoes and stuff

so i was thinking of buying another pair of running shoes. just saw another cheap pair. cheap for the brand. but i told myself i dont deserve another pair. ever since April, i sort of stopped jogging. it started with a busy week. then a week where everyday is always a record high when it comes to the temperature of the day. the next thing i know, i was jogging for only once a week. then it was followed by a couple of weeks where i didnt jog at all because the hot weather is just too much (i was sweating even if i was just sitting in front of the electric fan doing nothing). now that the hot weather is almost gone (almost but not quite), i wont have excuses anymore. last week, i managed to jog twice. but this week, i reverted back to one since i wasnt feeling well.

now, i noticed that im into bags and shoes lately (yep, im now a girl when it comes to shopping. unlike before where i only think of gadgets). aside from running shoes, i also bought two pairs of leather shoes. in two months, i bought three pairs of shoes, the most ive bought in a short amount of time since i was born. usually i buy a pair of shoes and the next pair will be bought after at least a year. i wear them until its impossible to wear them. so its not unusual to see me wearing a pair of shoes with a hole in it or part of the sole is already detached.

the thing with these leather shoes are...theyre boots. or i think its called dress boots. i bought my first pair when i went to a court hearing in manila. after the court hearing, i remembered my brother told me that there's a hole in one of the heels of my leather shoes. seeing how bad it was, i decided to buy another pair of leather shoes so i can have the pair i was wearing repaired somewhere. i saw a shoestore, browsed the shoes that were on display and i liked a pair of formal dress boots (maybe because since 2010, ive been wearing hi-cut chucks on an almost daily basis. i like it when my ankles feel secure). so i bought the pair of black dress boots and then brought my other pair of leather shoes to a shoe repair shop near my law office so i can pick it up after work.

as for my other pair of boots, i bought brown ones. and i bought them in anticipation of the rainy weather. the chucks i have arent really rain proof. i always get a soggy pair of socks whenever i go to the office on a rainy morning. so i managed to give me a reason to buy another pair of boots. i cant use the black ones because its for court hearings, especially non-Quezon city court hearings (because its hard to tell what the weather will be in other areas and having two pair of shoes for court hearings reduces the effects of wear and tear)

i really should stop buying shoes before this thing for shoes become worse. i have enough pairs for almost all occasions that will last a couple of years or more (well, except the running shoes if i manage to restore my thrice weekly routine). i think i need someone to control my spending.
