I barely saw that fast car.
This stretch of the road is a favorite among speed chasers including the sidi motorcycle boots guys who zip by so fast. As long as they are wearing the proper gear and know what their rides can and can not do, I don’t really mind.
Would you like to ride in a back-sticking fast ride?

Last May 8, 2012 world-renowned Brazilian flip-flop brand, IPANEMA took style animals to an unforgettable experience out in the wild when it transformed the Bonifacio High Street into a mystical urban jungle where IPANEMA’s sassy new collection was paraded.
The IPANEMA Urban Jungle Runway Show was a night of fun and true enchantment; a sheer moment to captivate the Metro’s style stars through fresh, animated pieces that capture that jovial spirit unique to the IPANEMA brand. True to the happy and exotic vibe of the beaches of Brazil the brand has been known for since it has established itself back in 1971, the IPANEMA designs featured a refreshingly distinct mix of bright colors adorning striking and bold prints as well as vibrant and unique design patterns.
The runway event witnessed the gathering of fiercest go-getters of the land. Popular celebrities and top models in the name of Enchong Dee, Phoemela Baranda, Ornussa Cadness, Mia Ayesa, Peter Norrdell, among others, graced the occasion and spiced up the night channeling their inner fashion animals. No other moment seemed more apt as the night was dedicated to unraveling the fabulous “fauna” of new IPANEMA flipflop styles through a numinous, story-telling fashion show featuring jungle creatures that embody the diverse tastes and characters of today’s stylistas.
What exactly unfolded during the roaring runway show? A jamboree of mystical animals which included the playful and graceful dolphin; the sleek and agile “Jacob” of the land: the wolf. Also making his regal presence felt was the king of the jungle, lion with its powerful and intimidating stance. Completing the fashion soiree was the vibrant and sophisticated peacock; the soaring eagle with its potent sexual energy; the meek and mild gazelle that represents those with laid back taste; the sexy and imperial snake; the eye-catching ostrich; the zebra which dons its uniqueness in every possible way; and the funny and quirky caterpillar, which transformed into a glamorous butterfly as its fellow animals strutted their way into the urban jungle, a place where there is boundless freedom to express one’s definitive flair and need for comfort. Indeed, it was a runway spectacle like no other.
The Urban Jungle Fashion Show is IPANEMA’s way of celebrating unique individuals who take on everyday determined to conquer the world and stand out. It’s a toast to go-getters who own their unique style and never compromise on getting what they truly desire.
IPANEMA has truly been a bastion for flipflops not only in Brazil, but around the globe as well. Its long history speaks not only of reliability and high quality performance and service, but of innovation, and continuous improvements in styles and designs as well. These fab sandals pride themselves with the supreme ease and comfort they provide to every foot with soles that are sublimely soft and perfectly padded.
With this exciting event marking a new era in the brand’s history, we are invited to make our fashionable mark at the urban jungle and spoil our sole with IPANEMA.

I love metal buildings that have great designs but I also love old concrete ones, especially those that “tell” stories.
Churches are a particular interest I like to take photos of or visit, if given the chance. These structures have been witness to many joyous events as well as sad ones. The walls have echoed silent tears of happiness and joy as well as grief and sadness.
Do you have a favorite church? Why do you like it?
Ipanema recently opened a branch called Sandalias in SM Lucena
Ipanema is a fashionable and hip Brazilian flip-flop brand. The store features the latest collection from last year’s Philippine Fashion Week alongside Ipanema Women’s and Men’s Collection, Kids line as well as Gisele Bundchen collection.
It’s nice to find something for the family members in specialty stores like Sandalias, especially with summer just a few months away.
I’m sure husbands and children will enjoy browsing their own flip flops in this store after accompanying mom who shopped for porcelain switch plates.
The “SANDALIAS” store exclusively selling Ipanema flip flops is located at the ground floor of SM City Lucena.

I got a new pair of Reebok ActiveVibe rubber shoes last year at the Reebok Store in TriNoma. 25% off was just the right motivation to finally convince me to get an upgrade.
The hubby heaved a sign of relief when I finally chose a new pair: Pink and Gray Reebok ActiveVibe. Why? I’m finally retiring that old pair that I’ve bashed, abused and used till it was pathetic to look at 😀
I love how it fits my feet and how comfortable it feels when I walk. I haven’t tried running in these yet, as if I run. So there goes the clue as to how I have been keeping fit. Not!
This pair was worth every penny, I must say and that’s coming from a penny-pinching mom 😀
And for those who know me well, they know for sure I am not fond of fuchsia pink but this one is an exception because it goes well with gray.
Now to plan on what to do to put this to good use 😉
Price after 25% markdown: Php2, 696. 25
