Wanting to Buy Sandals

Okay, I know it sounds pathetic but I could really use a new pair of sandals. I had been wearing a couple of footwear–a pair of Ipanema and another pair of imitation Happy Feet sandals–and would like high-heeled sandals for semi-formal occasions. (I had been wearing flipflops ever)

I found a nice pair of SM Parisian wedges that I like at SM City Bacolod. The soles and heels are black while the straps are in white. Very nice and neat. It only costs P500 or roughly $10. But I remembered that I have bills to pay and after my minor surgery two weeks ago, I really don’t have extra money to splurge. It is going to be my daughter’s birthday in 5 weeks and we have already touched the money for her party because of my accident. I may just have to contend with borrowing my sister in law’s sandals if ever. Unless of course, God will just grant me what I have been wanting, just like He had before.

Anyway, speaking of my accident, my doctor has graciously offered to help me claim some reimbursements from Philhealth and SSS, after all, I did use the operating room for my minor surgery. That would mean around $100 in reimbursements and that is a lot of money for us.

So my husband went to the Records Section yesterday. Unfortunately, they could not find my records. It seems that the people at the Labor Room where I was admitted failed to take my information, hence, my case was not recorded. It would have been nice, because I am not really that proud of my accident, but I needed those records for Philhealth.

My husband said that he is ever so thankful to the helpful staff at Doctor’s Hospital. He said they were very nice, and courteous and polite. They offered help in every aspect. Anyway, I had to call again today by phone to follow up but it was not done yet because the Labor Room staff have to prepare the admitting information. So I just have to call again tomorrow if it is ready for pick up. Nevertheless, the one who entertained me was also very helpful and resourceful. I just want to thank you guys for your good service.
