what did just happen?

"they say that if you want something so bad and you work hard for it, the whole universe will conspire to make it happen..."

well earlier this morning i received a couple of hundred dollars through a door to door service. my mom called and told me to get something for myself... my birthday gift from her( i celebrated my birthday two thursdays ago). i got so excited the usual half an hour shower routine lasted only ten. when i got to the shoe salon in glorieta, i asked this cute staff about the smallest size of the hellboy shoes.

"eight and a half sir" he said. i dropped my jaw, shit i'm only size seven.

"you mean you don't have any size seven anymore?" i asked.

"no sir, they don't come in size seven. eight and a half is the smallest size for these..." holding the shoe sample up in the air ."what size is that converse you're wearing?"

"seven.... why?" i wanted to know.

"converse's sizing is a bit bigger than adidas. so if you're seven with converse, you're likely to be size eight with adidas. why don't you try eight and a half?"

i said okay, so he went to the stock room to get me a pair. i was like cinderella fitting the glass slipper. everything was like in slow motion.(okay that's a bit of exageration but whateves). voila.... indeed the shoes were only about half an inch bigger than my converse. okay so i didn't really work hard, but i surely wished hard for these shoes. i love them so much.... but i love my mom more.... thank you thank you... muahahahahaha
