Darkschunt

It's been a long and tiring weekend. We actually didn't do much but some quick shopping and a barbeque by the beach but the weather was so hot that it made everyone so tired by the end of the day. It's been ages since I've been to the beach, though, and it was nice just to enjoy the sun and sand and wind. Unfortunately, most of us didn't bring any swim wear so we just stayed on land.

The Gutter Philosopher has left to work on a port for summer break and I'm really sad about not being able to see him until next year because our schedules are such that we'll keep missing each other until about mid or late January. I'm really going to miss him so much!

We had a good time over the weekend though, just hanging out with each other. And he surprised me on Friday with a pair of gorgeous Gisele Bundchen's Ipanema Y Ukatu Xingu sandals. I had been thinking about buying a pair lately but hadn't told him so it was a really awesome surprise. I tried finding a picture of the sandals online and this is the best I could find - Gisele is holding up the sandal I have! I also like that a portion of the profits go to the Y Ikatu Xingu campaign to preserve the Xingu River headwaters in Brazil, not to mention that these sandals would help spread awareness. I think keeping rivers pristine and preserving the cultures and way of lives of people such as the 14 Indian tribes who make their homes around the Xingu River is such an important issue. So it's pretty awesome not only to own these sandals but to know they're for a cause as well.

I would give a million of these sandals to have the Gutter Philosopher back for summer though. A month is just way too long! He's worth more than a million sandals. :)
