Glam it up

Shoes are a girl's best friend. Many girls go wild over stilettos, pumps, mary janes, ballerinas, wedges, peep-toes, you name it. Though it's never fun doning that new pair of shoes for the very first time. It is often a painful process which cripples you in the middle of the street and with blisters to show at the end of the day. Of which I totally dread.

Two new pairs of shoes bought months back are housebound due to the chilly weather. Temperature has since escalated. And I have been in distress over how many plasters I would need to break in the shoes, not to mention the pain one has to put up with and the ugly marks from the blisters. For a split moment, I actually regretted buying the shoes.

Looking down at my feet, a thought struck me. I could break in the shoes by wearing them at home for a few days. What's better, the pain would be reduced to a bare minimum with my socks on. I was kicking myself for not coming up with that earlier. I can be so stooopid sometimes.

Of late, Hoonie can be seen pattering around her apartment in her brown shoes with blue socks while she cooks and cleans. Quite an eccentric colour combo really. Glam factor: -38

On Cloud Nine

I have fantastic news to share. I landed a JOB! YES! Finally. After all these months. I am totally overwhelmed as it all happened in a blink of an eye.

Monday: The Company received my resume.
Tuesday: The Company called for an interview on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday: The interview lasted almost 5 hours and I was offered the job right away.

The reality did not really sink in until I reached home. That's when I allowed myself to breathe freely. And with a big wide grin spreading on my face, I let out a shout of joy.

The man was speechless when I told him the news. No one anticipated such prompt response as this is quite uncharacteristic of german firms.

Sure, there will be challenges to be overcomed and expectations to be met. The work won't be easy as a pie. But I will worry about that later. After my holiday, that is.

Basking in exuberance and excitment is what I deserve right now.
