It’s my first time to attend the MYOH (Make Your Own Havaianas) and it was so cool. Actually, I was the first person to arrived on the spot together with my sister. We’re already on the location at around 8am and the mall will open around 9am. I guess were just too much excited on the fact that i’ll be able to see how a Havaianas flip flop is going to be assembled on the spot. I missed the MYOH last 2008 and 2007 because I was busy for work but now it’s my lucky year because I’ve finally  made it!

This is the color and style of my Havaianas. It has a Philippine Map cultural pin. My preferential pin is the Tarsier but unfortunately it doesn’t suit on my straps color. The Lomo Cam also caught my eye but again it really doesn’t go along with my baby blue straps and pink soles. So I made up my mind and settled on the Philippine Map and I’m really impressed on how it look on my flipflop. I also add some swarovski stone embellishments on the sides of the straps.

I bought three (3) pairs of havaianas for my sister and for my sister’s bestfriend. They both chose a blue dominant  combination. One thing I don’t like is the style and color of their bag…It’s color black with a red slipper name tag. I think it’s “baduy” and maybe because i can’t appreciate red color. <sorry, peace & no offense>

Overall, it was a nice experience and I will definitely come back next year’s MYOH 2010.

The hottest trend in this summer 2009 is to wear a sundress with matching flats. The good thing about this outfit is even if you are under the sizzling heat of the summer sun, you will stay cool and fashionable. Usually, during summer short dresses are in and a comfy shoe/sandal is a must. Here are the different styles of summer dresses and flats I found in the web. Get your own now! Summer is HERE!!!

My Voodoo dolls have finally arrived! I’m an avid fan of this very adorable string dolls for quiet a time. My first voodoo doll is MONKEY KING. The hidden power of this doll is to let your ideas flow in times of creative block. Having the ability to morph into 72 different characters is the main reason why ideas never cease.

My second voodoo doll is the original VOODOO string doll ( the one located below which is brown in color). I personally love this because you can use it if you want to curse a person. Just stick a piece of paper to the doll with the name of the person then with a little bit of cursing then you’re all done. Ha! just kidding! But that’s what it says in the item description.

My Third Voodoo is JASMINE. She comes with an organza face cover and a detailed bedlah outfit matching with gold trimmings. Jasmine  the voodoo doll will watch you over at night, making sure your dreams are good ones and your sleep is restful and will watch over your soul until morning.

I bought the I+U=WE voodoo doll because I’d like to give the other half of it to my MIMING GILLY because it says that its hidden power will tie your heart to the one you love eternally. As two souls that are connected, these dolls will aim to ensure a long lasting relationship with your true love.

How about you? What kind of voodoo doll would you like to keep? Is it for luck, protection, punishment or health?  Well, it’s for you to find out and you can purchase it online. Just look for the ORIGINAL SAAN HA logo to make sure you are purchasing the original VOODOO DOLL.

Story of success

In1908, the “Converse Rubber Company” was founded by Marquis Converse. Nine years later (in 1917) the Converse company created and released a shoe that is much like today’s “All Star” shoe.

In 1921, basketball player Chuck Taylor was hired by the Converse company as a salesman. Over the next couple of years, Chuck Taylor suggested and had implemented changes to the shoe, and in 1923 his signature was added to the famous label of the shoes we see today.

Chuck Taylor was known as a very likable personality and was quite famous in the basketball world as someone who “knew everybody”. He also conducted basketball clinics where he provided training for athletes.

There have been many changes take place since that time with the All Stars shoe - In the ’60’s a demand for more colors (to match uniforms) spurred on the creation of Chuck Taylor All Star shoes in many different colors. The “Ox” (Oxford) was also created in this era, and the production of All Star shoes in several different types of materials.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars shoes are the most successful shoes in history. By the year 2000, over 750 million pairs had been sold and continue to rise in popularity. Although they have been replaced by more technologically advanced shoes for professional basketball, they are some of the most popular shoes among casual footwear lovers. (taken from squidoo.com)
