my pair of red checkered high cuts is retiring

I wish to include a recent, close-up photo of my noblest pair of shoes ever but I don't have a copy of that pic now. The pair isn't converse. It isn't of expensive brand. Being the kuripot that I am, I bought it three years ago for 320 pesos. From that day on, I became a fan of robertson's rubber shoes (rmb group series)! Whee!

After three years, after all the days we spent together in the rough mountains and streams to the concrete roads of the city, my pair of red checkered high cuts is retiring. The soles were intact but the "cloth part" was now torn. The pair was still functional but for the love of it, I don't intend to wear out the special shoes.

Last night, I spotted a brown checkered canvas shoes in the night market (ukay-ukay gallore). Because it was checkered, I fell in love with it right away and bade goodbye to a hundred and fifty pesos. :) The pair wasn't really that good for a hundred fifty, I realized it after close inspection. But, there's still room for reinventing the shoes. And as soon as I get back from Far Far Away, I'll summon my creative side to bring the best out of that pair. :) And hopefully, with the second-hand shoes, I could set my best foot forward. :)

Life is always better with second chances. I think I believe that now.
