Dinosaur in the sky and uneven feet
In Toulouse, southern France last Tuesday, the super jumbo aircraft ever built was unveiled… the A380, in the presence of European leaders and top investors. inside peek of an A380 superjumbo 
A380 has a 262-foot wingspan, a tail as tall as a seven-story building that cost $13 billion to develop. Oh la la! This I can’t wait to see and even ride. One of the buyers was Virgin’s big boss, Richard Branson who ordered 6 A380s and said they will offer private double beds for first class passengers and casinos. Hmmm, what about us economy class passengers? :-( Singapore Airline alongside Emirates will be the first to offer A 380 flights in Asia in mid 2006. I guess my question is, how much will the tickets cost? What do you think?

Tuesday I had to do my grocery so I left home in my bicycle ( I’ve no car and no license..kawawa naman ano? ) even though neck is still hurting and was a bit difficult to bend it down, had to perform my duty as housekeeper. When I left home, it was dry. At the mall, I saw that one of the shoe stores was still having a final sale (went bankrupt) which I ignored the past 2 weeks because I do not need new shoes. But this time, I looked inside and saw about 20 pairs still on display. I then found 5 pairs of ugly looking shoes with 80% off… still, I tried them on, you know why? They didn’t come in pair but of two sizes. And I do have a left footie which is smaller than my right. It took me a while to decide whether to buy them or not then I figured, summer is about in the corner ( atta fighting spirit!…it’s still winter here) and I can use them then. Also the price was not bad at all. From +Euro 140, 00 for 3 pairs, I paid Euro 16,20….now that’s a steal.
Ugly shoes but I love the sizes…..spot the difference? 
then I hurriedly bought my grocery. As I went outside, rain was pouring with fine ice and wind was blowing hard , to add insult to injury. I decided to wait until it eases up but then I remembered that I bought some frozen stuffs that needed to be kept cold. So I hurriedly run to my bike, loaded the grocery to the side bags but I had too much grocery ( as usual) so I had to keep one bag in hand while riding back home. Since it was raining with hagel (ice) and harsh wind banging my extra bag- one hand on the bike’s handle- I tried hard to balance the wheels with tears in my eyes from wind, ice and water. Needless to say I was a very wet duck , from head to toe, when I got home. My husband saw it all and wondering why I wasn’t cranky. He then saw the bag w/ shoes and said with eyes rolling: “What is it with women and shoes?!”
