Last summer I bought these faux pair of Ray ban aviator shades bringing it everywhere and wishing the sun would shine on my balding forehead for me to fashion my Ray bans. The good times with that trusty pair was endless. Okay, endless in three months, that is. Because now, lo and behold it finally had to rest in pieces. Mightybonds and little screws cannot the the trick so I had to give up, give in and just quit fixing (anyway, they're just fauxes)
But the great thing about faux, inspired by (place any name of designer here) is that you could obviously buy it off-hand. Only to find out the tragic truth, that is truly, you're buying its worth so I've vowed to buy myself a new pair, the authentic pair of Ray bans through ebay.ph and just to be faced with a pair that costs a whopping 4,500 in golden pesos! And now I'd rather die hoping to see myself wearing these pre-loved AUTHENTIC aviators. Or even another okay! site Ayos dito from the name itself, I knew I'd find the answer to my pending wishlist but to be met with another reality check, it does not cost up to a PHP 4,500 but at the least it costs PHP 4,000.
It costs 90 US dollars! sounds cheap right but considering the exchange rate, the Pinoy pragmatics and my stinginess I will not succumb to buy one until I find a stable job to support my luxurious desires.
So maybe the next time I go up to Baguio (approximately in 6 days), I'll just buy my new pair of Ray ban-inspired sunnies to unburden myself of this consumerist melancholy.
Cheers!
