Something beautiful happened earlier this week that lifted my spirits up from the stress I've been going through.

I GOT MY BOOTS!

Remember the pairs of boots that I've been pining for last year? Well, I got them! I haven't taken pics of the actual items, but I got them last Monday. Yeah, I know this is another late post, but until my PC at home is fixed, I can't update as regularly as I want. It's okay, it's almost done. I probably be catching up on my bloghopping and paid opps at home by tonight.

Anyway, I am so loving them! I can't wear the knee-high boots yet, because pregnant women are discouraged from wearing heeled shoes as doing so increases the chances of developing those ugly varicose veins on my legs. Not that my legs are so damn pretty, but I don't want them showing early signs of ageing, do I?

I wore the Angel-Devil boots last Monday, though. I just wanted to try it on, but they felt so much more comfortable than the flat pumps that I was wearing that I wore them (the boots) the whole day. It felt like walking flat-footed on carpet, probably because it has a fur-like material inside, from the leg part all the way to the bottom part.

Spammer, my "uber shopaholic officemate/friend/future godmother of Baby Kobe" (oh yeah, I owe you another post about Baby Frost #2's name ), also got a pair of the Angel-Devil boots, and she got hers the same day I did mine. However, since the boots didn't really go with that she was wearing that day, she waited till the next day to wear hers. Good thing, too, because we don't really want to be called "The Boots Twins". Or somebody might brand one of the the Angel, and the other the Devil. They'd probably have a hard time deciding who's the Angel and who's the Devil between us.

Not just yet.

I can handle having super powers. I can handle the skimpy leather suits. But I can't run on high-heeled boots. Not yet.

You see, for me, boots are one of the best things that man ever invented. I love them so much that if I have the money, I'd buy every single pair I'd fancy.

If I were to be a superhero, I would need to be very agile. I could probably fly, but I've gotta be the lamest superhero ever if I can't run.

Majority of the supoerheroines I've encountered (Yes, I've met them, we're closefriends, textmates if you will ) wear high-heeled boots. And I've got to be the most boring superheroine if I don't wear one also.

One of the pairs of boots I love wearing at work

Even if your answer is no, it's okay for a superheroine to go barefoot or wear flats or pumps or mary janes, I WANT to wear high-heeled boots if I were to be a super hero.

Gotta wear my boots during my morning runs from now. Wait, I don't do morning runs.

That's why I'm not yet a super hero.

Oh yes, I am.

Like I told Morrigan in her Multiply post, BOOTS is my middle name. I just don't have enough moolah to live up to that name that's why right now I only have one pair left.

But not for long! Thanks to Mr. Frost and Christmas, I'm getting a pair soon! And they have other pairs that I want to buy as well!



I actually found out about this online store several weeks back through Spammer, my uber shopaholic officemate/friend/future godmother of Baby Frost #2. She showed me this site and we went crazy over the same pair. We already placed our orders for this one.



Very nice, eh? I opted for this flats since it's not advisable for the pregnant me to wear heeled shoes. There's a waiting period of two months because the stocks will come from the States, so we'll get our nice boots by end of January.

The 2-month waiting period is actually good enough for me. It gives me enough time to save for the balance payment and of course, for more pairs. I already have three pairs waiting in line, pairs that I can wear as soon as I get them because by that time, I've already given birth. Yey!

The pair on the left is sooooo me! I love it! And I gotta find the perfect pants for the one on the right! It's drop-dead gorgeous, isn't it?
    

This pair is so irresistible in black.


Now, those boots would look wonderful on some clothes I found in another online store. Time for some window shopping!

Good lord, I'm turning into a shopaholic myself. Must be the pregnancy hormones.

Okay.

So I decided to have a transformation this new year.

Nothing major. Just wanted to be more stylish in dressing up. You see, I'm the type of person who goes for the comfy jeans-shirt-sneakers type of get-up. The only heels I wear are those that are attached to my boots. I'm very laid back when it comes to dressing up, and I hate putting on things that would limit my movements.

However, I became bored with what fashion sense that I have. I just woke up one morning and had this urge to dress up. Well, probably not "dress up" in its full sense, but wearing something else aside from a shirt and jeans is definitely an upgrade for me.

My friends even kid me about my get-ups. They say that I'm actually a man in a woman's body because I don't like shopping, and I don't care about fashion. As long as I'm comfortable in what I'm wearing, I'm good.

I told Mr. Frost and my office friends that I'm finally a "woman" because now I like checking out clothes, shoes, bags, and other accessories. "No doubt about it, I'm definitely a woman."

The other night, I cleaned up our closet. This is a task long overdue, but it was my desire to have a wardrobe makeover that pushed to finally doing it. I was planning to take away all the things that I don't want to wear anymore to make space for the new stuff that I feel will complete my so-called transformation.

And what did I realize?

I realized that I used to dress up nicely before. I had "girly" blouses and a loooot of skirts. Well, I did wear skirts before I decided to "transform", but usually with sneakers and boots. I found my skirts that I can only wear with heels or sandals.

So I realized what I'm actually going is not a transformation into something new. More like into something that I was before.

It's kinda hard to explain, but to those who have been with me for that past 4 years or so, it IS a transformation into somebody they've never known. Somebody new.

Oh well. Let's see how this goes.

So today was my first day back at work.

My day didn't start well. Or maybe I was just expecting too much. I don't know what to expect, really. I probably just wasn't ready to go back at all.

To start with, I wore the wrong set of clothes. Wrong boots, wrong pants, wrong blouse, even the wrong bra. I don't feel "me" because of what I'm wearing. And I realized that when I was already at our office building.

Then, when I got to my desk, my computer wasn't there, which is understandable since they had a renovation while I was on leave. When I got my PC, there was some issues that made me unable to access my account. For one, I had to restart my password because I forgot my old one. Then I still can't log in - something about my IP being locked because I haven't log in for a long time. Talk about security measures.

Around after lunch, when they finally fixed my server access, things went on smoothly for a while. I sorted my emails (please don't even dare ask how much I got), sorted my files, etc.

Then around 4ish in the afternoon, I started feeling queasy. I can't describe what's wrong, but it felt like I was dizzy because of hunger and I wasn't hungry at all. Well, I didn't feel like eating. I drank lots of water because I thought I must be dehydrated. Nothing changed. Now I'm munching on some crackers, hoping I'd feel better. That remains to be seen.

Oh well, so much for my return.

Got tagged again, this time by officemate Aiza.
