My most recent purchases…

Posted by jepoyzter under Random Post, Uncategorized

Right after lunch at Swensen’s and an hour walk inside Eslite Bookstore. We’re about to head to ZhongShan North Road to buy bread at Florida Bakery. But before that, we passed by Rockport across Taipei Stadium and Asia World Mall.

I am quite dying to have a new pair of shoes. The last pair I bought was 4 months ago and it’s a Converse sneakers that I couldn’t wear because my feet hurts a lot and can’t breath in it everytime I wear them. But the time I was fitting them they are quite comfy. I don’t know whats wrong with them. Anyways I should try wearing them again soon.

Back to Rockport. Actually I don’t have any intensions of buying a pair of shoes that day. We just enter the store and I started to sit on the couch and let Michelle take her time looking around while I enjoy the cool air of the store’s air conditioning system. It was really hot that day and I was like a faucet sweating. While sitting and at the same time my eyes are rolling through some cool pairs of sandals displayed. I saw a nice pair of boat shoes right below the sandals that I saw. I like boat shoes because they are comfy and I don’t have to wear socks to wear them. I asked the sales lady if they had the biggest size, which I always ask everytime I would like to fit one. So she brought me a size 11. I was wondering, would it fit? Sometimes my feet’s size could go 12 or 13. Well depends on the brand and type. So I started to put both on and walk on it. Yeah they are comfy and fits perfectly. But something bothers me with the design of the shoes with what I am wearing that day. Then I noticed that I am wearing socks. So I tried taking off my socks (good thing my feet doesn’t smell or else I would cause everyone inside the store to suffocate that would cause a massacre in Taipei) then putting them back on. Then there it is. Kaching… kaching… the sound of the cash register. We decided to head out of the store before I could cause a massive damage with my budget for the month. Since I was also eying on the pair of sandals I saw. But thats enough, I am happy with just a pair.

So when we arrive at ZhongShan North Road and after having a sip of 7-11 City Cafe’s Vanilla Ice Coffee which is oh so yummy. We stop by Vivo to check out Hugo Boss’ new perfume. It smells good but I am not that crazy about it. I would still prefer the one I used before which is Girgio Armani’s Aqua Di Gio, that I was planning to buy after I empty a bottle of Bulgari’s Aqua Pour Homme and Clinique’s Happy for Men.

When we enter the store no one entertained us. Not a single one. Though theres like 4 of them inside the store and only one customer plus us. Since no one is entertaining us, we just started testing some bottles on a strips of papers. Then a sales lady comes nearby us and staring at us while talking to her co-sales lady. Thats it, she started to get into my nerves. She looks at us like we don’t have money to buy and we’re just playing with their items. Then Michelle walked near the door and the sales lady followed her with a strange look. Like, I wanna grab her eye balls and soaked them in a gallon of muriatic acid. I just hate people like that. So I didn’t say anything to Michelle, and I just call her and let her try Sean John’s Unforgivable for Men. I liked it the first time I smelled it. The smell is not that strong but its refreshing and quite unique. I somewhat like to buy it 6 months ago. But like what I said , I still have two bottles of used perfumes at home and one thats not opened yet which was a gift to me last year on my birthday.

Then I told her that I was quite intimidated with the clerks attitude. So she was also thinking of buying one for herself. Then the sales lady with the attitude problem approached us and ask “are you looking for something?” in Chinese and in a sarcastic way. Michelle started answering in English and ask her how much is the Bulgari perfume for women. The sales lady told her the price and get another bottle which is a Max Mara perfume. The sales lady is quite pushy with the Max Mara perfume but Michelle can’t smell anything from the perfume. So she tell her that she’ll think about it, but the “makulit” kept on pushing. So I just told the sales lady just get me a bottle of Unforgivable, to have her stop whining. We’ll it doesn’t there. She still kept on talking about promos and stuff if we purchase the perfume she was pushing to us. After a couple of NO’s in the end she stopped and I follow her to the cashier. Paid my purchase, and out of the store. Sheesh…
