Expensive slippers, the hell?

[cynic]

---

cynic hasta trend imu but-an?? omg!!!

why not just wear your own pair of slippers and live your life!!

though I agree on your stand but
please ayaw tawn ipagawas nga mabaw ug utok ang mga tawo ron...

though true but don't generalize it...

you can actually do that it a more "peaceful" way...

don't keep calling other people "retarded"..

bite this!! you can't change the way other people live their life!!

you live your own weird life, we also live our own weird life according to our own desire...


you don't have anything to do to people who

loves wearing their own pair of slippers...

c'mon!! you've been so anti-human...

please avoid your famous word "retarded"...

oh hai, if you cant handle criticism, gtfo.

the issue here is not those people nga magpagutom para lang mupalit og mahalon nga flip flops or even the fact nga naay mga tao nga mupalit para makiuso. if you try to read back what the TS has posted on the first post, nag react sya kay ngano mupalit ang tao og mahalon kung naa may baratohon.

point is, kay mao na ilang gusto and just let them. ngano man intawn nga affected man ka on the way they spend their money on things as expensive as flip flops. its their money in the first place and not yours. just be happy nga "you think" you know how to spend your money well than them. PERIOD.

no. the issue here, is why pinoys buy over expensive slippers just to look cool and be called 'in'.
and even if you can afford and and its comfy, is it really practical spending nearly a thousand bucks just for a pair of slippers?

a post from a random forum i googled.eat that bitches.

h, P900 for TSINELAS?! Hell no!

Even if they say it's durable and stylish, it doesn't justify the price. We have Planet, we have Beach Walk, we have Islander.

All of them provide the same function which is feet protection. Right?

And what pisses me off? People who, when confronted by establishment authorities about wearing slippers, would say, "Hello?! I'm wearing Havaianas! The price of these, I bet, is bigger than your monthly salary!"

Hello? Tsinelas pa rin yan. Bawal yan.

LOL.

Talk about people so concerned with the superficials.

the comfiness doesnt justify the price.

nganong naa may mga taong sensitive kaayo sa word nga retarded? defensive? guilty?

bitaw, kun kana hinuong mga tsinelasa naay special features, like di mopilit ang lapok, di mahilis, maka enhance sa health sa nagsul-ob tingali worthy nga paliton. pero sa akong tan-aw wa may special features ng mga tsinelasa. tan-awn nya nato, basin kun mag sul-ob sila anang mahalon nga tsinelas maka prevent nga ma pangdol sila.

pero kun wa man gani nay special features, vanity ra man tingali ang rason nga mga tao mag sul-ob og mahalon nga tsinelas: para ingnun nga kwartahan kay maka afford.

Look - we all know how pinoys are with these things. Some people save up some money to buy really expensive phones bisag dili necessary and really way beyond their means. People trying to buy expensive Nokia N96's and iPhones and they don't even use half of the features the phone offers. Another thing pa gyud, maglisod pa silag afford ug load.

We have the DSLR (or any gadget that's "in" as of the moment) rave where people (same scenario) save their hard earned money - skipping lunch and dinner in the process - just to get the gadget that they want. And to what purpose? To show it off? Status symbol?

We see people pay for knock-offs kay di ma afford ang original. What for? To show nga naa kay branded nga mga gamit?

Again.. we go back to what others have said here. It is none of our business as to what the others use their money for. But - this is a forum and this is a place where we could freely discuss such things - regardless if it's OUR BUSINESS OR NOT. If you have an objection to that idea.. then a FORUM is not for you.

Karon - kining issue sa sinilas. To an extent, I can understand CYNIC's point of view. I cannot imagine myself to pay extra for a pair of flip-flops. Sinilas raman gud na gud. Although lahi man sab ug hilig ang mga taw. I guess mag lisod lang sab gyud kog sabot kay para nako, flip flops are just flip flops - they're made out of cheap rubber regardless ug unsay brand.

lahi man diay ni nga thread kaysa adtong naka post ko before. pero bahin man gihapon sa mahalon nga sinelas, mopa ambit kog gamay.

kun mo acquire tag butang, tingali ang purpose gyud ana para pag satisfy sa need. sa ato pa, ang butang mo serve og specific function. example, kun mo palit kag tshirt, para pag protect sa imong lawas nga di magka sunburn kay init ra ba sa pinas.

unsa may function sa sinelas? mao man tingali ang pag protect sa lapa2 para di matunok, di sakit kun itunob sa hait nga surface. kun dunay 2 ka brands sa sinelas nga parehong maka serve sa intrended nga function, ang usa barato pero ang lain kay mahal -- asa man nila ang mas maayo nga pili-on?

bisan tuod di ko dato, pero nakapalit man pud kog mejo mahalon nga mga gamit. ang rason nako mao nga naay qualities ang kadtong mga mahalon nga mga butang nga di wa nako makita sa baratohon. kun maka afford lang ko mopalit kog sapatos nga may goretex membrane ug vibram ang lapa2 bahalag mahal, kaysa adto kos baratohon nga piskan lang sa talisik mabasa na akong tiil sa sud dali pa gyud mahilis ang lapa2.

di man issue nga naay right ang tao pag pili kun unsay iyang gusto paliton as long as iyang kwarta ang gastohon. ang issue mao nga: is it wise to buy expensive slippers when there are cheap ones available?

when people purchase stuff, dili ra man sad practicality ang ila tan-awon gud. there is one thing called preference. some people, if they have the money, will splurge jud on the things they like regardless of whether or not practical sya or dili. if you ask me, dili sad ko mupalit og butang nga practical lagi pero dili sad ko ganahan. it all boils down to personal preferences in the end.

P.S. that doesnt mean nga hilig ko og mahalon nga slipper ha hehehe ang pinakamahal ra gani nga slipper nako is katong islander og katong new balance nga imitation sa crocs :P

[bblang]

for me, it's not practical to buy those over- rated slippers. there are more important things in life.

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

why would you buy one of those?is it because they're comfy?look good?or trendy?
girls are going amok, just to buy this kind of slippers, spending more than 500+ pesos just for a 'comfy' slipper?just shows how girls only see the brand and not the price tag.

you can always buy a decent brand, with decent 'comfiness' with a fraction of the price.

people can be sooooo retarted..

Im in the Philippines right now . I want to know where I can find one that can surpass the QUALITY , FASHION STATEMENT , DURABILITY , COMFORT and most of all , ARCH FRIENDLY that will only cost me less than 500 PHp . BTW ... im sporting a BILLABONG flip flop that cost me more than a fraction of what you think is a decent price that doesnt make you a RETARD . By the way , FLIPFLOPS are UNISEX a smuch as guys also buys Ipanemas and Havaianas .

Spring. Barato ra baya gyud nang mga sinilas diri diba? Kanang gipang sulti nila nga high-end diha, mapalit raman ug tag 10-15 diri. Mga Northface, Oakley, etc.. Grabe rasab kaayo mo tan-aw ug brand ang mga taw diha gud. Mao nga hasta mga brand logo sa shirt bantayan... totokan pa gyud kay siguraduhon ug fake ba or dili.
